Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new (REJUVINATED) heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
THIS EARTH HAS BEEN REJUVINATED ; ALL THE EVIL RUDEMENTS ARE GONE.
MAKE A NOTE OF II PETER 3.
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
HEAVEN WILL BE HERE ON EARTH.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God (GOD'S HOME) 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 (EZEKIEL 48:35).
21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain (NO MORE SICKNESS): for the former things are passed away.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS AGE WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED ANYMORE.
21:5 And He That sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said unto me, "Write (FOR US TO READ IT): for these words are true and faithful.
21:6 And He said unto me, "It is done (THEY ARE COME TO PASS IN THE GREEK). I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of the freely (CHRIST).
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be His God, and he shall be My son (NO GENDER HERE).
THESE ARE THE REWARDS FOR HIS SAINTS.
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers (PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP OTHER gods), and sorcerers (DRUGGIES), and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."
WHAT IS THE SECOND DEATH ? THE DEATH OF THE SOUL.
21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels (ONE THAT BROUGHT FORTH THE SEVEN EVENTS) which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife."
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,
THAT BRINGS THE END OF THIS AGE AND THE START OF THE THIRD AND FINAL.
21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel:
HE IS A GOD OF ORDER AND DISCIPLINE.
EACH ONE OF THE TRIBES HAD THEIR OWN GATE ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.
BOTH JOHN AND EZEKIEL WROTE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THEIR SPECIFIC DESCRIPTIONS REFER TO DIFFERENT CITIES.
21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
TWELVE IS THE BASIC NUMBER OF THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE CITY.
21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
NOT THE SAME REED AS IN REV. 11. THAT REED WAS MADE FOR DESTRUCTION.
21:16 And the city lieth foursquare and the length is as large as the breadth (PERFECTLY SQUARED): and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs (1.500 MILES. IT ALSO GOES 1.500 MILES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE). The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
THE "HOLY CITY" IS PRESENTED TO US AS A PERFECT CUBE OF 1.500 MILES.
21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, and hundred and forty four cubits (300 FEET), according to the measure of a man, that is of the angel.
THE ANGEL MEASURED IT BUT IT WAS MAN'S MEASUREMEMENT.
MAKE A NOTE OF EZEKIEL 43.
21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure (IT WAS PURE, BECAUSE NOTHING WAS THERE THAT OFFENDS) gold, like unto clear glass.
21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
THESE STONES WERE ON AARON'S BREASTPLATE, AND THEY ARE THE 12 STONES OF ISRAEL (EXODUS 28:17-21).
21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street (PLATEIA= SQUARE) of the city was pure gold, at it were transparent glass.
A FIGURE OF SPEECH.
IT MEANS, EVERYTHING IS CLEAR OF SIN.
21:22 And I saw no Temple therein: for the LORD God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple of it.
NO BUILDING CAN COMPARE TO GOD'S LOVE AND MERCY.
THE WONDERS AND GLORIES REVEALED HERE BELONG TO POST-MILLENNIAL TIMES AND AGES. THEREFORE, THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING DURING THE THOUSAND YEARS, WITH "THE SANCTUARY" OF EZEKIEL 45, AND ITS PALACE-TEMPLE, WILL HAVE "PASSED AWAY". THERE CANNOT BE TWO JERUSALEMS ON THE EARTH AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME. THE NEW JERUSALEM COMES DOWN ON THE NEW EARTH, THUS TAKING THE PLACE OF THE FORMER CITY.
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
EARTH WILL BE VERY DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE IN, WITHOUT ANY POLUTION.
21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth (GENTILES) do bring their glory and honor into it.
21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
IT WILL BE ONE CONTINUOUS DAY.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
THESE ARE THE "SHEEP" NATIONS OF HIS RIGHT HAND DURING THE MILLENNIAL REIGN.
21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
EVIL WOULD CEASE TO EXIST ; ONLY THE OVERCOMERS WILL BE IN THE THIRD EARTH AGE.
GOD BLESS
