"The New Heaven and New Earth" - Revelation 21:1-8
The Bible begins in a garden. It ends in a city. Between those two settings, the story of humanity unfolds. Sin enters the world, relationships fracture, creation groans, death spreads, and people spend their lives longing for something better. Every single one of us knows instinctively that things aren't the way they're supposed to be.
Revelation 21 gives us a glimpse of the day when God will make everything right.
Revelation 21 follows the events of Christ's thousand-year reign on earth described in Revelation 20. Satan has been defeated permanently. The Great White Throne judgment has occurred. The present heaven and earth have passed away. Then comes the eternal state, when God creates a new heaven and a new earth and dwells forever with His redeemed people.
This isn't symbolic wishful thinking. This is our future. It's the destiny Jesus purchased for everyone who trusts in Him.
