"Heaven and Earth shall pass away; but My words will by no means pass away." Luke 21:33
I'm glad that John is a gospel of a different sort, because I'm not sure what to say a 3rd time on this statement, let alone what I would do with a 4th. But, let's try something like this...
At the end of the book John looks and sees a new Heaven and a new Earth because the old Heaven and Earth have passed away. [Rev. 21:1]
While I would argue that Revelation [no s] was written for the people who originally heard it I still believe there is a meaning for us today. This meaning does not come from Revelation being some kind of roadmap to the end of the world, but comes rather from the base truth of the book.
Which is -- the pain and the struggle that you are going through right now IS NOT the end of your story, because a new day is indeed coming. To steal from the Jefferson's, one day we will be moving on up.
We will be renewed and refreshed, we will see what up until that day we have only believed. Our pain and struggle will have passed away and all things will be made new. It's not the entirety of the Gospel, but it is GOOD NEWS.
+ What do you think about the new Heaven and New Earth?
