Jesus is coming!
This present earth and the heavens above will pass away when Jesus Christ returns to destroy his enemies.
Revelations 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
The Bible teaches that Christians will live on a new earth for eternity. The New Jerusalem is Christians living on the new earth.
Revelations 21:9 Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
Revelations 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
We will receive a new celestial-heavenly body in the resurrection, that never gets sick or never needs sleep and everyone will love you.
Revelations 22:3 The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Revelations 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Revelations 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
All the animals will be at peace.
Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.
Isaiah 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
God will dwell with us and there will be no distance between us and God. Never will you feel that God is absent or remote. Loneliness is banished from the new heaven and new earth.
There will be no more tears of sorrow and pain. There will be no physical pain because our bodies will have been glorified and made like unto the body of an angel.
Those who live with constant, chronic pain and disability should be especially encouraged for the day is coming when all pain will be gone! And not just physical pain, but emotional pain, the pain of disappointment and loss, the pain of every sort and from every cause, all will be gone.
We will be made spiritually in the sense that our battle with sin and temptation and lust and greed will be forever gone. We will not spend eternity as a disembodied soul or spirit. We will live forever in a new, transformed, glorified physical body.
Revelations 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
1 Corinthians 15:41 There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1 Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Ressurection Power!
