“And I saw a new sky and new earth; for the former sky and the former Earth passed” (Rev. 21: 1). The fire that destroyed the wicked cleans the earth. Any trace of the curse has been removed. It will not be reminiscent of redeemed by the terrible consequences of sin Eternally blazing hell. Only one thing will remain forever: traces of crucifixion on the body of our Redeemer, wounds on his once bloodied chela, on his side, on his arms and legs - the only reminder of the cruelty of sin.

"And you, the tower of the herd, the hill of the Daching of Zion! The former dominion will come to you and will return to you" (Mich. 4: 8). Christ regained his rule over the kingdom lost due to sin, and gave him redeemed into eternal possession. “The righteous inherit the earth, and will live on it forever” (Psalm 36:29). There was a fear that the future legacy of the redeemed would seem too material, and therefore many tried to give only a spiritual interpretation even to those truths that allow us to look at our future homeland as our house. Christ assured his disciples that he was going to prepare the monastery in his father’s house. Those who accept the teachings of the Word of God will not be completely ignorant of the heavenly abode. Nevertheless, the apostle Paul proclaims: “I did not see that eye, the ear did not hear, and it did not come to the heart that he prepared the bot to love him” (1 Cor. 2: 9). The human language is unable to describe the reward of the righteous. It will become clear only to those; Who will see her. No limited mind is able to comprehend the glory and splendor of God's paradise.

In the Bible, the legacy of the rescued is called the "Fatherland" (Heb. 11: 14-16). There, the heavenly shepherd leads his sheep to the sources of water alive. There, the tree of life brings its fruits monthly, and its leaves serve for the benefit of peoples. Eternal streams flow there, clean as a crystal, and along them growing trees throw their shadow on the paths prepared for the redeemed gentlemen. There, vast valleys smoothly turn into beautiful hills, and the mountains of God heap up their peaks. There, in peaceful valleys, on the banks of living streams, the rescued by God - these tired wanderers and travelers - will finally gain their house.

New Jerusalem

The new Jerusalem is a city that "has the glory of God; it shone it like a precious stone, as if a crystal to a stone" (Rev. 21:11). The Lord says: “And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and have fun about my people” (Isa. 65:19). "The tabernacles of God with people, and he will live with them; they will be His people, and God Himself will be their god; and God will remove any tear from their eyes, and there will be no death; neither crying, nor scream, nor illness There will be no longer; for the former has passed ”(Rev. 21: 3, 4).

"There will be no night in the city of God." No one will need a vacation or crave him. The execution of the will of God and the glorification of His name will not cause fatigue. We will always feel the freshness of an endless morning. "And they will not have needs either in the lamp or in the light of the sunny, for the Lord God illuminates them." Sunny rays will replace a pleasant soft radiance, many times superior semi -legged shine of the luminary. The glory of God and the lamb will illuminate the Holy City with a non -frozen light. The redeemed will live in the glory and light of the eternal day, in the light, which does not come from the sun.

“I have not seen the temple in him; for the Lord God is the Almighty - His temple, and the Lamb” (Rev. 21:22). The people of God will gain the advantage to communicate freely with the Father and the Son. "Now we see as if through dull glass, fortunately" (1 Cor. 13:12). We contemplate the image of God, reflected, as in the mirror, in the creations of nature and in his relations with people, but then we will see him face to face, between us will not be a separating curtain. We will be in his presence and see the glory of his face.

There, the immortal mind of saved with vigilant admiration will contemplate the miracles of creative power and secrets of redeeming love. There will not be a cruel enemy-miserable that is tempting to turn away from God. All abilities of the redeemed will develop, every talent will multiply. Acquired knowledge will not lead to mental
