How do you fit the New Heavens and the New Earth (Revelation 21) into
your model?
by Robert Brow (www.brow.on.ca)
As I see it, Abraham looked forward to
the city whose architect and builder is God" (Hebrews 11:10)
but that was only in the future till the resurrection, when Jesus went
to prepare our place for us (14:2). That means the New Heavens
and New Earth is already there for me. I do not hope to go
into cold storage when I die to await it in the future. So I expect
to enter the new heaven and earth (the city of God in Revelation
21:22-22:5) the moment I die. Meanwhile I worship and join with
the Lamb as he is reigning and putting all enemies under his feet.
