Revelation 21:1-5

John Nunnikhoven

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

Behold, I will make all things new” Seven very powerful words in English including three that foretell of the mightiest transformation in all of creation. Once again, the LORD, God, the Almighty will speak and all thingswill be re-created. I'm overwhelmed by the thoughts as I write—suns, moons, planets, stars, galaxies, nebula, shazam, gone, totally replaced by a new order—pure and clean, sinless, without blemish or flaw. A creation with one and one interest alone. Finally, the purpose for which man was created, to manage His creation.
