Our Eternal Home: The New Jerusalem
By Michael Houke
For those of us who feel that we have not much to look forward to at the present, or for those who need something to pick you up, or for those who want something to bring a smile upon their face, here is a glimpse of our future home. If this doesn’t re-charge your batteries then you are already dead.
Reason to smile #1
She will be like a most precious stone, like jasper and as clear as Chrystal.
Reason to smile # 2
She will have a wall with twelve gates and twelve angels at them and the names of the twelve tribes of Israel written on them.
Reason to smile #3
The City will be cubed with three gates on each side.
Reason to smile #4
The wall of the city will have twelve foundations and the names of the twelve apostles will be written on them.
Reason to smile #5
The city will be 1,500 miles square. Roughly, the area from the east coast of the United States, to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. On top of that it will be 1,500 miles high. This will be a huge city fully capable of housing comfortably billions of saints.
Reason to smile #6
The walls will be 200 feet thick. The walls and gates will be made of precious stones, with streets paved with gold.
Reason to smile #7
It will have no temple, for God and the Lamb will be our temple.
Reason to smile #8
It will have no sun or moon, for the glory of God will illuminate it.
Reason to smile #9
The gates shall not be shut, yet nothing evil can enter through them, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Reason to smile #10
It will have a river that runs through it, as clear as Chrystal.
Reason to smile # 11
There will be trees in the city bearing fruit on either side of the river.
Reason to smile # 12
There will be no more curse.
Reason to smile #13
We shall see God’s Face.
Reason to smile # 14
There will be no more evil or sin.
Reason to smile # 15
There will be no more death, no more pain, no more mourning and no more tears.
Reason to smile #16
The Lamb will finally lay down with the Lion.
Reason to smile#17
We will be spending eternity with our Father and His Son, our Savior, in this beautiful mansion!!
There, now your batteries should be fully charged and you should be smiling about right now and you better be happy about it, because it doesn’t get any better than this.
God Bless
Each and every Saint past, present, and future.
Glory Be To JESUS! Amen!
