Heavenly

 "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.

  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
  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.
 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 any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."    - Revelation 21: 1-5  KJV

Dear Friend,


Do you ever sit sometime and just think about the reality of heaven?  On television networks so called "reality" shows abound.  Shows that are advertised as set to give the inside scoop,show what life is really like for those featured. 

If however, such shows were measured by Philippians 4
"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report..."   I wonder...how much is true, lovely or of good report.

God's Word offers us "a reality" that is "for real" and for eternity.  It is not a show.   God is Faithful.

The reality of heaven  is recorded in part for us in the book of Revelation.  It tells us of a new heaven and a new earth.  It tells us of New Jerusalem a holy city.  There will not be any crime, deceit or hatred.  Leadership will be excellent! There will be no hidden agendas.  No need for any more Kleenex.  No pain killers will be needed. Everything will be just heavenly.

^" 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,
 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
 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 the children of Israel:
 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
  And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
  And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
  And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
 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;
 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.
  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
  And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
  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."

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Glory to God!

God bless
