Make no mistake about it folks, the Great Tribulation is on the horizon. With all of the scriptural facts and visual evidence we are witnessing, it must happen. Things are NOT going to get better on this current earth. Why? Because of the fall of mankind dating back unto the Garden of Eden- when the Serpent tempted Eve with questioning God's word. We have all been guilty of that on some level- otherwise the world would be in it's original state- pure and undefiled, which it is most definitely not. This earth, the Bible says, is stored up for the ungodly men and those who do not obey the truth for a baptism of fire. The heavens and earth shall melt away with fervent heat and pass away with great noise (2 Peter 3:10). We are told that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, and that no man knoweth the day, time, or hour (Matthew 25:13; Revelation 3:10) but thanks be to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath promised us not only eternal life, but to be saved from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10) and we are to wait for Him (JESUS) with much patient endurance, through many trials of this life.
It is all a test. Revelation - apokalupsis means disclosure of truth, instruction, concerning things before unknown, manifestation, appearance Strong's Concordance #602. Jesus gave His Revelation to John on the Island of Patmos and was written in AD 96. It is the most important and valuable prophetic book in the Bible. Specifically, there were 7 literal Churches "which are in Asia." By Asia is not meant the continent, but only its western end. It promises a blessing to all those who "read and take heart the prophecy of this book" and that we will be saved from the hour which will come upon the whole earth to test them. It has been the most difficult book for me to get through, my autoimmune disorder causes great levels of fears. But the Holy Spirit guided me through it all and it is one of my favorite books now. Glory to God! Revelation is an invitation for "anyone who thirsts, come!" and a severe warning to turn back to God with a repentant heart, and a small glimpse of our New Heavenly City New Jerusalem.
Jesus paid for our sins, according to the scripture, was buried and rose again on the third day. This means that Jesus paid it all! We just have to come unto Him, and that He knocks on the doors of our hearts. Secure your place in Christ, and in the Marriage Supper. Accept Jesus Christ as your life and your Saviour, because He is the way, truth and the life. Your relationship with God needs to be SOLID!
The Bible says to think on things above... so let's think and talk about Heaven!
There will be no SIN! This City is the place Jesus said He was going back to Heaven to "prepare a place for you" - for we born again believers in Christ Jesus; we are His bride and He is our bridegroom. It is a Jewish tradition in weddings for the husband to have a house for his bride before he took her home.
We are told that the length and breadth and the height of it are equal. There are 12 gates total, 3 on each side of the walls, each gate of one pearl. and those gates never close. There are 12 angels who stand at each gate. The wall itself is of Jasper, and the foundations are garnished with all manner of precious stores. The foundations contain the names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb, and over the gates are the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel.
We are told that the City itself is of "pure gold, like unto clear glass." (Revelation 21:18) The tstreets are likened unto "transparent gold"... CAN YOU IMAGINE!? I can only! We cannot imagine the beauty that our New City has. The streetsa re to be lines with trees, as are also the banks of a river. The "TREE OF LIFE" will bear 12 fruits, a different kind each month for the nations' healing. The fruit of the trees is for overcomers only, which we are IN CHRIST!
"Then the Tabernacle of God shall be 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." (Revelation 21:3-4)
