Revelation 21:1

Revelation 20 ends with the final defeat of Satan (20:7-10) and the final judgement of the unsaved (20:11-15). With the end of all things associated with the old fallen world, namely sin, death and the devil, God now brings down His new, breathtakingly beautiful, wildly productive, sinless, perfect new world for us to occupy in our new, sinless, amazing bodies. All this climaxed by the glorious, up close and personal presence of the Father and the Son. Again, one must ask, why did God reveal so much detail about the future? Because it is so wonderful, so positively beyond our wildest imaginations. So full of sure hope and pure joy that it gives us the power to endure by faith all the sin touched struggles of this life. Thank You Lord Jesus!

PRAY: Lord God, You have revealed that there will come a time when this first, fallen earth will pass away. That once all is dealt with that needs to be dealt with, You are literally going to replace this earth, this world, this universe, with a brand new upgraded, sin free forever new world! Help me to more and more find joy in appropriate God pleasing ways on this old earth, as I anxiously await the next, as I anxiously await my Savior Jesus! Amen.
