New Heaven and New Earth: Where
God dwells
Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no
continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Wow. THEY, that were living in the earth near the
time after Jesus’ ascension and the end time of that generation had declared
that they had no continuing city. They
were believing in the arriving of the new heaven(s) and new earth and the
establishing of God’s kingdom in the earth. There was a new world to come.
Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the
powers of the world to come.
2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we,
according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness.
Was this to be a natural dwelling
place that is seen with the natural eye..... or was this to be the heavenly or
rather spiritual place where Jesus is now, and our heavenly Father is too.
OHHHHH there is so much to see in
what was just said.
Hebrews 11:13-16
These all died in faith, not
having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded
of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth. For they that say such
things declare plainly that they seek a country..... But now they desire a better
country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their
God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
They looked for a new city that
would be filled with God’s righteousness.
He prepared a place for them... (John 14:2-3 to carry this message
further and deeper).
Revelation 21:1-2 And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea. And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The New Heavenly Jerusalem filled
with God’s Righteousness.
The old Jerusalem was symbolic of
what was happening in the spirit realm of God’s kingdom and true city. It was our example of heavenly things. The earthly temple and ordinances, etc....
were a shadow of what was to be.
But our All Wise Father was
working His Plan in heaven AND earth....
He was about to restore the
kingdom and remove all unrighteousness... out of His heaven AND His dwelling
place in the earth. A new king and
priest were coming... and this one would be an eternal, forever King and Priest
over all... ALL things in heavens and earth.
Jesus Christ His only begotten
Son came into the world. This was and is
God’s Word and Will manifested and revealed. This was for the setting free of
all creation from the one... that disobedient spirit that sinned from the
beginning. The devil sinned from the
beginning. He was given rule over
man. But now in Christ Jesus, that ruler
is removed and judged guilty. Now thrown
into the lake of fire where he will be forever.
A new King/Priest and Kingdom was and is established in heaven and in
the earth forever.
Clean up had begun. And Jesus FINISHED THAT WORK. His Throne was set up and He sat in it. The Work was done.
Now His Kingdom and City and all
that dwelled within were filled with HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. He subdued it to the Father. And the Father
released and established it in the earth.... so that now, heaven and earth are
in Christ, who reigns forever more... in heaven and earth... visible and
invisible.
Verse 3 says And I heard a great
voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God.
Ohhhh my and Praise the
Lord!!!!! Hear and See what the Lord has
done!!!
So this new city where God
dwells..... is His tabernacle that is made up of His people.
Revelation 21:9-10 reveals the
Lamb’s wife/bride, which is that great city, the holy Jerusalem.
Then from 11-27 the scriptures
speak of such city and that God and the Lamb are the temple as well as the
light in it.... Now catch this... the city are the people.
Verses 12-14 describes the
apostles and tribes in it. As John 14:2-4
tells us that in the Father’s house are many dwelling places. Do you see the many places?
Yet there is the place of the Son
and His Church..... John 14:2-4 I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And
whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus:
The Bride is ready and has joined
unto the Lamb ... for He has made her ready....
How? Ephesians 5:25-27 ...even as
Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing
of water by the word. That he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot,
or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So as He is Received by us, He
establishes His rule and righteousness in your spirit, soul, and body. He begins to wash you and free you from the
affects of sin and death, while releasing His Liberty and Life in you as Your
New Heaven and Earth.... now submitted
to the Father.
NOW, that day has come for you,
and John 14:20-23 is become your reality.
John 14: 20-23 At that day ye shall
know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you..... and will manifest
myself to him... and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and
make our abode with him.
God’s New Heaven(s) and Earth
established, and You are either already established in Him... or you are in the
process of entering His New Jerusalem and Temple, and being placed in that special
place prepared just for you...
Hebrews 12:22-24, and through 29.
v18 For ye are not come unto the
mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and
darkness, and tempest,...
v22 But ye are come unto mount
Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
company of angels.
v23 To the general assembly and
church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of
all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
v24 And to Jesus the mediator of
the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things
than that of Abel.
You are come.... It didn’t say
“will come”... it says “are come” meaning “Now”.... you are come to the new
heavenly Jerusalem that now dwells in heaven And the earth...
But yet you only see Jesus at
first. In Hebrews 2:8-11 *8-9 it shows
us this: “...Thou has put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he
put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But
now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus,...
Then as He washes you and you
press on in, you begin to see clearer and understand more of His Kingdom and
experience your New dwelling place... in Him.
And you may enter in to your
place prepared for you, but ONLY if you Come Through The Door, and He washes
you in His Blood and His Word (John 3:3-5 being born again).
Hebrews 12:27-29
v27 And this word, Yet once more,
signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are
made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
v28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which
cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear:
v29 For our God is a consuming
fire.
His New Heaven and New Earth Is
Come...
Now each of us in God’s order and
divine timing are entering in to the place He has prepared for us...Reconciled
by His Son (Colossians 1; 1 Corinthians 15:19-28; and many other scriptures)
and all unrighteousness is being consumed by God who is that consuming fire.
Press on...that you may apprehend
that for which also you are apprehended of Christ Jesus...forgetting those
things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are
before... press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12-14)
God’s new heaven and earth is
come... behold and enter in to your place that He has prepared for you in His
Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
