WHEN SIN-SINNERS -DEATH ALL-----
-----Have been destroyed, at the end of the Millennium, the fires, that engulfed all earth, consuming them and make purify the earth, it will erase all trace and evidence of sin, and human pollution, as well. Then God will RE_CREATE earth as He intended at the beginning, and the whole earth will become EDEN!
2 Peter 3:10-13 " But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Revelation 21:5 " And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."
In this earth made new, people will find many reasons for joy, delights that are beyond our comprehension here for....
1 Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
Isaiah 64:4 " For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."
Though we cannot imagine in the slightest the glories that God has prepared for His redeemed, the Bible offers a surprising amount of information about His eternal Kingdom.
WHAT WILL HEAVEN BE LIKE?
We will have dwellings prepared for us by Jesus, in the house of His Father-----
John 14:1-3 " Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
Plus we shall----
Isaiah 65:17 "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."
Isaiah 65:21-22 "And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."
With minds that are no longer benumbed by sin, nor limited by time, we all shall be in a position { all the Saints] to investigate the wisdom of the Universe that is without stain or spot!
The pain and the sadness that we deal with every day will no longer exist because----
Revelation 21:4-5 " And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful"
Just think of it! No more crime, injustice, death or illness, as many say, "No More Aids, seeing, chewing, walking, hearing, aids, ever, for anyone!" No more Md's, funerals, nor grave yards, or mortuaries, ever again! No more police, nor courts, jails or lawyers ever! We will forever have those we love close to us, even The Father and The Son!
The corruption in nature caused by sin, shall be no more, and our physical bodies shall be forever young and mature, all vegetation shall be evergreen, and nothing shall ever die! LOOK------
Isaiah 65:25 "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
The New Jerusalem, which by then will have been set upon this earth,.....
Revelation 21:2 "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Revelation 21:23 "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."
.Revelation 22:2 "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
Note: We are not told if The Tree of Life, is the very same one that Adam and Eve ate from or that God destroyed it and created anew one in Heaven! But we shall have one nevertheless!
God's people will not get tired nor be in need of nightly, sleep.
FACE TO FACE WITH GOD!
But beyond any material gratification that we will receive as heirs of His Kingdom, will the the supreme privilege of direct communication with both the The Father and The Son plus The Holy Spirit!-----
1 Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
From the book "The Great Controversy" P. , 678----
"And the years of eternity, as they roll by, will bring richer and greater and still more glorious revelations of God the father and God the son. As our knowledge increases, so will our love and reverence and happiness increase. The more men learn of god, the greater will be their admiration of His character become. As Jesus opens before us the riches of redemption and the amazing achievements in the great controversy with Satan, the hearts of the ransomed thrill with more reverence and fervent devotion, and more rapturous joy, they sweep the harps of gold and ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of voices will unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise."
From "The Desire of Ages" P.26.
"The work of redemption will be complete. In the place where sin abounded, God's Grace much more abounds.. The earth itself, the very field that Satan claims as his own, is to be not only ransomed but exalted. Our little world, under the curse of sin the one dark blot in the glorious Creation, will be honored above all other worlds, in the Universe of God. Here, where The Son of God tabernacled in humanity; where the King of Glory lived, and suffered and died,--- here, when He shall make all things new, the Tabernacle of God shall be with men, and they shall be His people, and He shall our God, and dwell with us. And through the endless ages as the Redeemed walk with their LORD, they will praise Him for His unspeakable Gift, EMMANUEL, 'God with us' "
