Hey guys, Welcome back to the last,
the exciting, fourth part of this series where we talk about the Book of Revelation.
Guys, we only have two chapters left. And it's going to be very interesting.
Because we're gonna talk about things like the new heaven and the new earth.
The new Jerusalem. The river of life.
And the last word of warning from Jesus Christ.
Are you ready? I sure am - let's get to it!
Alright, now, let's start with the new heaven and the new earth.
[Revelation 21:1]
So, this earth that you know now will be gone. The heaven that exists now
where some of our family members are, other brothers and sisters in Christ,
that'll be made new. A new heaven and a new earth
and the sea will be no more. Now a lot of people wonder here,
what, is there not going to be a sea in heaven? Well, we're not 100 percent sure there might
not be a sea or there might. It might be just symbolic.
A lot of people say the sea is talking just about referring to death.
But we don't know. We do know that there will be rivers
and that this earth will be perfect. And God will live with us.
With humankind once again, the way He lived with Adam and Eve.
Before they sinned. Before the fall.
[Revelation 21:2-4]
On this temporary world you will experience trials and tribulations.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that when you become a reborn Christian
you will have a perfect life. In fact, it says that you will
experience trials and tribulations. You will be persecuted.
Your faith will be tested through fire for a short time on this earth.
And those who endure will prove that they truly are reborn Christians.
And they will receive eternal life. A world where everything is perfect.
No more tears and no more pain.
[Revelation 21:5, 7-8]
The second death is the final death. These people will be spiritually
dead for all eternity. They have no second chance.
We can only receive spiritual life from God. This was promised back in the Old Testament.
[Ezekiel 11:19]
[Revelation 21:7]
[Romans 6:23]
Now, you need to understand here that there is no other way for people to
be saved. Jesus Christ is the only way. And today we have that message loud and clear.
We live in a time of grace and when people don't want to accept it
they don't want to accept that the penalty we should receive for our sin is death.
Judgment by God. Because God is just.
He is the judge of the world.
Jesus comes in and says I will take that punishment on Myself.
We who accept it - we are saved. God clears us as righteous.
But those who don't want to accept it - what happens to them?
They still need to receive that punishment and that punishment is the second death. Eternal hell.
If you are listening to this video and you are not saved yet, please make sure.
It is a gift and you can receive it through real faith in Jesus Christ.
And then you will receive eternal life. Let's read about this eternal life.
Let's read about the New Jerusalem - the new city.
[Revelation 21:10-12]
Now. as we continue to read, we see what the city looks like.
The exact measurements. And it's too much for us to cover.
You can read in your own time. But, well, let me just read a little bit.
[Revelation 21:17-18]
Wow, can you imagine that. A pure city of gold.
If that would happen in the world that we live in, everything that is special, pure...
People of their sinful fleshly nature - they would just destroy and they
would ruin everything. But that won't happen in heaven.
In the new earth, we will be able to enjoy this whole new world and the New Jerusalem.
[Revelation 21:19-21]
Now, do you remember in the Old Testament people had to build temples for God to live in, right?
But then Jesus came.
We received the Holy Spirit and we can now worship God from anywhere.
Any place. Because our bodies are a temple of God.
God's spirit is in us and we can worship Him directly.
Now, listen to how we can worship God in eternal life - how He will live with us.
[Revelation 21:22-25]
Wow. There's so much to unpack here.
Just think about this. The reality of it.
We won't need the sun because we will live in the light of God himself.
He will be with us and we will not get tired. Our bodies are
eternal bodies and will not get tired. And there will be no evil In God's presence.
[Revelation 21:27]
Wow, and that is how Chapter 21 ends.
The next chapter is the final chapter of Revelation.
We're there guys - let's see how the last chapter of the Bible is going to end.
[Revelation 22:1-2]
Just imagine what this will look like. It's almost like a... a fantasy.
But it's real. It's going to be amazing.
The river of life. The tree of life.
We'll be finally able to see it. And we will also be able to see Jesus Himself.
[Revelation 22:4-5]
Amazing. This will be just amazing.
I just I can't even imagine what the experience will be like.
When you stand in front of Jesus and not just Jesus the whole new world.
The new heaven. Our family members that passed away.
That you will be able to see again. And all the other brothers and sisters in Christ.
The angels, the apostles. I would love to ask Peter a few things.
Wow. Now let's see how the book is going to end.
[Revelation 22:6-7, 12-13]
Ask yourself, and be brutally honest. Don't play with fire.
Don't play with this. Ask yourself - are you going to
experience this new heaven, this new earth? What is Jesus going to say to you?
Is He going to say to you - welcome my child? Or is he going to say - go away from me into
the outer darkness forever and ever. Where you will be tormented with the devil and his demons.
And with all the other wicked people who chose the darkness over the light.
I hope you choose the light. No one can choose for you.
[Revelation 22:14-15]
You know, Jesus warns us. He warned us over and over again.
It was there in the Old Testament. He sent us His truth through the prophets.
Through the apostles. Through the whole Bible.
And through preachers. Through the ages.
Only a fool does not listen and take this message seriously.
This message of the gospel,
especially in the day and age that we live in where there are a lot of lukewarm Christians.
Are you one of them? Remember, Jesus warned:
[Revelation 3:16]
[Matthew 15:8]
[Matthew 7:18-19]
[Matthew 7:21-23]
Please wake up. This world - and the
things of this world - are passing away. You are but a mist, just appearing here
for a little while. And then vanishes.
Are you ready to meet God? A lot of people just think about the
end times but you can die today. Are you ready?
Time is running out. When we go back to Revelation:
[Revelation 22:17]
Now, here He gives us an open invitation. It is amazing to think that we cannot work
this salvation by ourselves. you cannot save yourself.
It is impossible. It is a gift from God.
And you can only take this gift through real genuine faith in Jesus Christ.
It's the only way. This is the good news.
The gospel message, that has been preached for thousands of years.
And it will never change because it is the truth
the truth cannot change it is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
And then as we continue to read we see that this part of Revelation is
coming to a close. The last chapter.
And God gives a big warning to those false teachers
to those who are teaching false doctrines. Who are changing God's word.
[Revelation 22:18-21]
These are the final words of the Book of Revelation.
Are you ready? Are you ready to meet Jesus Christ?
If you are a reborn Christian, you should be happy.
You should be looking forward to this day. Because I sure am.
If you are unsure of your salvation watch these videos here to make sure that you are saved.
And always remember, God loves you.
And I love you, too. Bye.
