HEAVEN- the temporary home for all the earthly
pilgrims.
EARTH MADE NEW- the
permanent home for all the earthly pilgrims.
In the earth made
new-
Rev 22:1 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.
Rev 22:2 In 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: and the leaves of the tree were
for the healing of the nations.
Did you read that?
A pure river of
WATER OF LIFE- clear as crystal! We've
all seen clear water, right? Or most of us. It's beautiful when you see it in
the ocean, in a waterfalls, in a river natural and gorgeous. This WATER of LIFE
proceeds out of the throne of GOD and of
the LAMB, OUT OF THE THRONE! Imagine it!
Let your mind picture a throne unlike any you've seen and then a pure river of
WATER of LIFE clear as crystal! Water
that gives life! You might say that our
water right now gives life and you wouldn't be lying. We die without water. Our
bodies are made up of a lot of water. This water of life however is for people
who are LIVING ETERNALLY!
In the MIDST, the
middle, of the STREET of it, on EITHER side of this river of water of life,
there was the TREE OF LIFE!
THE TREE OF LIFE!
The tree that was in the GARDEN of EDEN, the garden that mankind was BARRED
from after sinning! The TREE of LIFE!
On this tree there
were TWELVE different kinds of fruit!
And every MONTH this tree bear fruit and as we know in our world now, NO
tree bears twelve different kinds of fruit year round, NONE. This is the TREE
OF LIFE and- the tree was for the HEALING of the NATIONS.
The tree of life- a
healing tree.
Now stop and think
for a moment. So many people believe
that we are instantly healed because we are changed from mortal to immortal
because we are change from corruptible to incorruptible. Yet for 1000 years while in heaven we will be
judging those who are NOT in heaven. We will be able to understand beyond any
doubt why those who aren't there, aren't there. Why people believe that our
minds will be wiped clean and we won't remember anything is beyond me. Why
people think that suddenly we are happy even in the midst of the destroying
pain of our loved ones, is beyond me. YES! We are happy to be with our SAVIOR!
SAVED! REDEEMED! HEAVEN BOUND! But when the newness of this calms down and we
look around and a lot of those we expect to be with us are not, we will want to
comprehend why. Our memories are NOT erased! What point is there in a memory
wipe? If God wanted to wipe all our memories what would He be left with except
empty human shells and if He were going to do that then why bother with all the
fuss of everything and not just create new humans- sinless, without memory of
sin and all its results- pain, heartache, agonies untold. We will have memories, we will have
questions, we will have minds, intelligence! We will be who we are, only we
will be SAVED! Our bodies will be RENEWED! We will have life eternal! The
FRUITS of the tree of life will be for our HEALING! We will be HEALED by these fruits! And to be
HEALED means we are in NEED of healing!
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name
shall be in their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they
need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Rev 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are
faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew
unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that
keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
No more CURSE.
NO DEATH- DEATH is
the CURSE!
NO night!
No need of a candle.
No need of the sun.
The LORD WILL GIVE
US LIGHT!
The miracles to come
are amazing! Yet first ALL the prophecies of the book of Revelation must come
to pass, and those who KEEP these sayings are blessed!
Is there any wonder
we need to know the sayings, know the prophecies we are to keep.
Think about this--
Rev_14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
This is a saying of
the book of Revelation.
We need to study
this so much more!
Please God, open our
hearts and minds to YOUR truth, to the sayings of the prophecy of the book of
Revelation, we would be blessed by YOU!
We long to be YOURS
and with YOU in the new earth! Please, all by the grace and mercy of our
SAVIOR, all through HIS love, all through YOU and YOUR love! Please, we would
be YOURS! Help us LORD, help us! Save us! We believe, help our unbelief!!!! Please! All through Jesus Christ our Lord and
Savior, now and forever!
AMEN!
