A New Heaven and a New Earth

[mieshec]

This passage has always fascinated me....A friend Ive shared the word of God with for over 30 years says the 1000 year reign will happen here on Earth....with Christ on the Throne...passage comes from Revelations 20...........4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.........Its a perplexing passage....The way I see it....is why rehash what God already knows...I think that Christ will reign a 1000 years......and I know that those that did not believe in God.....There sins were never forgiven.....and judgement occurs..... and those sins are revealed.....but as Ive said.....only the very wicked will be cast into the fire.....I do  know this....I know if you dont believe in God.......you will never enter Heaven.... for the rest of eternity.....and thats SOOoooo sad....If people understood what is waiting in heaven....Its not a Harp playing ...... halo above the head vision.....your stupid.......Angels....Dont have wings......they look just like us....In the image of God.....RIGHT...........2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”..............................................THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING....................11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.....................SO CHECK THIS OUT......No one has seen God.....accept Moses.....it turned his hair WHITE...and made him glow.....The Lord spoke to Moses.....the Israelite's.......feared for their lives...............WE ARE GOING TO SUNBATHE IN THE GLORY OF GOD........no SPFs required.......I PROMISE........................IN MY FATHERS HOUSE.......THEIR ARE MANY ROOMS.....................................15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass...................................THANK YOU LORD......I bet my Pad is going to be some swanky high rise.......overlooking GODS WACKED OUT CITY........I MEAN THIS IS A ETERNITY......   RIGHT.....How can you love the measly 100 years of life you get.....compared to an eternity of THIS............22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.............................SEE.....Only the children of the NEW COVENANT.......who are made perfect in the Blood of Christ.......saying that never gets old......its such a powerful statement.......................................1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever an ever......................................LOOK....We will eat in Heaven........................................       ......ISAIAH 25..........6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines. 7 On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; 8 he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth................................Theres going to be a big party in Heaven......Im RSVP...................I mean......we are talking eternity here.......one of the things I believe......and i feel very strong about this............The Indians called them Thunder Beasts......Thousands.....Tens of Thousands......use to stampede across the great plains.....the GROUND WOULD SHAKE.......i want to see this.....Nothing is impossible with God.......The Columbia and Snake River Salmon......No one knows how big they get..... in their pristine environment.......Until man ** a BIG HUGE CONCRETE SLAB.....on some of the most fragile miles of perfect gravel salmon breeding beds......The Upper Snake.....
