Week 20 (The Revelation) – Day 5: The New Jerusalem

Day 100 – The New Jerusalem – Revelation 21:1-22:21

Today we reach the great climax of victory.  There are many visual aspects of this which may overwhelm the senses, as it is meant to do.  One thing which is important to remember is that God is coming down to the new creation.  As we began in Genesis 1, with God creating that which did not have to be created, God’s plan is not one of abandonment of creation.  God’s plan is to fulfill creation, through Jesus.  Heaven, as it were, comes to earth.

I bring this up because many strains of discussion often tend toward the great heresy of Gnosticism in which only the spiritual is important.  God makes clear, in that we are resurrected with a body, as well as the great scene of reconciliation here, that God cares about everything. 

I hope you have enjoyed the great journey through some important part of the Bible.  We hit many things, and also skipped many things.  May this awaken a desire to spend more time with the written Word, so that you may come to know the living Word:  Jesus Christ.

In Christ,

Randy
