“If contentment were here, heaven were not heaven.” Samuel Rutherford

The ideas for us as believers about Heaven are scorned by the watching world as fantasy or ‘pie in the sky’ and dismissed as unbelievable. I have told you that from God, things that are unimaginable are NOT unbelievable! Such bliss seems foolish to those who fear poverty, sickness, wars and unhappiness.  But God is clear about what is to come – a real Heaven and a real Hell.  All of Revelation 21 is the forecast of time and times to come.  We will read about the other side of Jesus Advents to men - first He came to us and tabernacled’ with us (John 1:14) but now He builds for us a New Tabernacle where we go to live with Him! We read about a New Place to Live (New Heaven and New Earth) and a New Place to Worship (New Jerusalem).  I will take each of these in order for the next 2 weeks.  You cannot miss either of them!  The promises here are twofold:  to be embraced and not to be ignored!  So many great quotes and couple of cool charts and lots of hope for our soul – See you Sunday and the next Sunday too!
