"IT'S ALL NEW - Pt 3" ; "A Vision Of The New Heaven"

Scripture Text: "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Revelation 21: 2 (KJV)

We know that all scripture is given by the Inspiration of God, yet, I can hardly see how the finite mind, and our limited vocabulary could ever describe or picture of the Holy City, The New Jerusalem. All we can do is to imagine.

Let's Listen to this song by Michael English entitled, "I bowed on My Knees and Cried Holy!" I'll be back right after the song with the rest of today's In The Word.

Oh Hallelujah! What A day that will be when My Jesus I shall see. Praise the Lord! Oh Friend - I can barely contain myself. I'm going to see my mama again - I'm going to see my Son again - but more than all of that I will see Jesus. Hallelujah To The Lamb!

Look at what John says here about it.

"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. And he said unto me, It is done. 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 life freely". Revelation 21:1-6 (KJV)

What a joyous promise! Aren't you glad that you know Him? Aren't you glad that you are prepared to meet Him and that you will one day walk into that glorious arena, and see the beauty of those Jasper walls, and the sheen of those streets paved with gold, and the meadows filled with the greenest grass you have ever seen - filled with every flower imaginable. You will be running through the meadows and there ... sitting over beneath a tree will be a Lamb playing with a Lion, and together as they see you coming, they lay down to rest side by side. You will cross over the little bridge spanning across an endless stream coming from the New Jerusalem, and as you look that way the light is so intense it draws you closer. Now, just inside the gates of the city you find "Him". You throw yourself at His feet and for the first time maybe - you understand what Mary felt as she broke open that Alabaster box and anointed Him with that precious spikenard: and even though it has been years - you catch a whiff of the aroma that filled the room and you realize that it was not the spikenard that so filled the room with it's aroma, but it was the sacrifice of the Lamb - pure and holy, that even then had laid down His life for the whosoever will.

O friend - You don't want to miss out on the greatest experience of your eternity. You too will want to bow on your Knees and cry "Holy".
