Revival in the New Jerusalem

Introduction: Can you imagine how the New Jerusalem is going to be? John describes this celestial city coming down from God out of heaven as a bride adorned for her husband. Wow! This reminds of of a wedding… when the beautiful bride is escorted to be joined to her excited groom. Needless to say, it will be an inspiring moment. However, what happens afterward is just as important. And so it is going to be in heaven.

The Revival in the New Jerusalem! (Rev 21,22)

This intimate time in heaven is going to be one continuous revival.

1. We will have a “BRAND NEW BODY!

There will be no more pain, no suffering, and no heartaches in heaven. 

“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 21:4)

Think about it. No more headaches, high blood pressure, strokes, heart problems, diabetes, cancer, obesity, or aging!

The Fountain of Youth will be absent. Think about it. No more dying, crying, or buying!

You will not be able to buy any real estate in heaven… only a prior reservation with Jesus will be needed to unlock the door of heaven. Jesus is making the land available for all who will believe in Him and be saved through His redeeming blood.

Death will be a trespasser. The grim reaper will not be allowed through the pearly gates of that city.

No more screening ambulances, or blaring fire trucks, or even medical doctors needed in heaven!

2. We will have a BRAND NEW HOME! (Rev 21:6,7)

“6And 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. 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”

Have you considered what we have to look forward to? Because of our adoption in the family of God, we inherit a heavenly home. This home will be unlike anything on earth. It will not rust, decay, or wear out. There will not be any need to spray for bugs, termites or rats. The plumbing will not leak. The roof will never need replacing. Heating and air conditioning will be obsolete. Insurance and TAXES will be out of the question..FREE from Uncle Sam!

“3And 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.” (Rev 21:23)

The walls will be made out of jasper with colors more beautiful than a rainbow! Our God is a master architect who uses only the finest materials!

Gold streets? No. The street (not streets) will be paved of pure gold reflecting like transparent glass with the twelve gates for entering the NEW JERUSALEM all of them made of solid pearls. 

Needless to say, just the decorated scenery of the NEW JERUSALEM will be breathtaking. But do not forget the MAIN ATTRACTION- being with our Lord Jesus Christ who made us, bought us and is coming back for us!

But first, look what comes in the package deal with the NEW JERUSALEM. This glorious city offers FREE light bills! FREE interneting!! No need for garbage or land fills in heaven!!! Oh yea, pure – crystal clear water will be flowing from the throne of the Lamb. 

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month.” (Rev 22:1-2)

Luscious fruit will flourish from the TREE of Life every month….

What are the dimensions of this city? How about 2,250,000 square miles!

Conclusion: Does this make you alittle HOMESICK for HEAVEN? Can you wrap your finite mind around the New Jerusalem? Everything that you can imagine, it will be far better! All of this is ours because of Jesus Christ who died for our sins, arose from the grave, and promised to come again and take us to this NEW JERUSALEM.

Come and go. See you there.
