In this chapter in Revelation we see the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ comes down from heaven and there is an end to tears, death, crying and pain. All that is evil is thrown into the Lake of Fire and all the souls whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life reside with God and Jesus in the magnificence of the new City of God’s creation.
The Alpha and the Omega… the beginning and the end. God offers all who are thirsty a free drink from the living water, Jesus Christ.
What are you experiencing in life right now that is bringing you tears, death, crying and pain?
What does God want you to do right now to rise up and overcome these experiences so that you will be able to inherit the new world He offers?
