God has given us exceedingly precious promises concerning… � � � An inheritance reserved in heaven: Matthew 25: 34; 1 Peter 1: 3 -4 A heavenly city, yet to come: Hebrews 11: 10, 16; 13: 14 New heavens and a new earth; 2 Peter 3: 1014
“THE GOOD NEWS OF HEAVEN” (Revelation 21 -22)
“The Good News of Heaven” Looking to the book of Revelation chapters 21 & 22, let us see what God has to say concerning what it will be like once the final enemy (1 Corinthians 15: 26) is conquered.
Revelation 21 -22: A look at what John saw � � Revelation 21: 1 -3; 5 -7, The dwelling of God with men! (See also Exodus 25: 89; 1 Kings 8). Revelation 21: 9 -21, An angel takes John to a great and high mountain so that he can look closely at this new Jerusalem, the bride of the Lamb.
What will this abode be like? � � Some things will be missing… �Revelation 21: 4, 8, 22, 23, 25, 27; 22: 3, 22: 5 Things that WILL be there… �Revelation 21: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 22 -27; 22: 1 -2 Those who overcome and arrive there will have very special blessings. �Revelation 22: 3 -5 Then the book closes with a warning. �Revelation 22: 6 -21
Conclusion � We’ve considered this hour what God’s abode will be like: � There will be some things missing (All pain, sorrow, all of this life’s heartaches). � Some things will be there (The Godhead, all of those whose names are written in the Book of Life). � Those who arrive there will have very special blessings (They can see God’s face, and serve Him endlessly). � But the book also closes with a warning (Beware, lest you miss it).
He who has an ear, let Him hear… � � The citizens of this heavenly city… � They are God’s people (Rev. 21: 1 -5). � The citizens of heaven are a satisfied people (Rev. 21: 6). � These citizens are an overcoming people (Rev. 21: 7 -8). The challenge of this heavenly city… � We must keep God’s word (Rev. 22: 6 -11; 18 -19). � We have a responsibility of serving the Lord (Rev. 22: 12 -14). � We must keep our lives clean (Rev. 22: 15 -16). � We must keep expecting Jesus Christ to return
