Introduction
We’ve come a long way since beginning our study of the book of Revelation last September.
We’ve seen heavenly visions and the terrible judgments to come, ending with the judgment of the wicked and the complete end of death itself.
Now what?
What happens after the tribulation, after the destruction of Babylon the Great, after Satan and his demons are cast into hell, and the judgment of wicked humanity?
We come to the ultimate purpose in God’s decrees: a people whom He Himself redeemed from sin and death and judgment and raised to eternal life, who will dwell with Him for all eternity.
Eternity begins with a new creation.

The original creation has been beaten and torn by human sin and Satan's war against God.

The heavens themselves are impure in God's sight ().
The sea uniquely represented danger, storms, and separation.
This is because of the utterly lethal and venomous nature of sin.
The Bible compares sin to the yeast that is added to bread dough; a very small amount of yeast, 1/4 of an ounce, is enough to cause three pounds of bread dough to rise.
Botulinum A toxin is the deadliest poison known to man; an amount equal to half a single grain of sugar would kill an adult.
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
The heavens themselves are impure in God's sight:
But sin is so deadly, so poisonous, that one sin, from one man, brought death to the entire universe.
And mankind is not guilty of just one sin.
Sin has poured out of us and polluted all creation.

A New Creation
Let's make sure we understand the utter sinfulness of sin, as describes it.
Sin did not remain neatly contained within us; it poured out of us, along with death, and polluted all of creation.
The impact of our sin on God's perfect creation was far more serious than any carbon emissions bringing about global warming.
Human sin polluted all creation.

Why is there death?
Adam sinned.
The original creation has been beaten and torn by human sin and Satan's war against God.
Just as sinners must be made new if they are to live eternally, the entire creation must be made new, just as God promised in Isaiah:
Long before Jesus was born, God promised that there would be a new heaven and earth:
There is such a strong break between the old and the new that “the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.”

This new creation is necessary.
This current creation was made to suit man, but the righteous are going to be raised with very different natures.
There will be a new heavens and a new earth; that is, a new creation.
Just as sinners die and are then resurrected, the creation will die and be remade.
This is what says about our bodies now and the bodies we will have in eternity:
says that our resurrected bodies will be very different from the bodies we have now, even the bodies that Adam and Eve had before the fall:
But sin is so deadly, so poisonous, that one sin, from one man, brought death to the entire universe.
And mankind is not guilty of just one sin.
Sin has poured out of us and polluted all creation.
Speaking about our resurrection, says that our resurrected bodies will be very different from the bodies we have now, even the bodies that Adam and Eve had before the fall:
Speaking about our resurrection, says that our resurrected bodies will be very different from the bodies we have now, even the bodies that Adam and Eve had before the fall:
It's clear that this creation was created for man's needs and according to man's nature.
We are perishable (even Adam and Eve were perishable, which is why they perished when the sinned), dishonorable, weak, and nature.
Human sin polluted all creation.
Why is there death?
Adam sinned.
It's clear that this creation was created for man's needs and according to man's nature.

Just as sinners must be made new if they are to live eternally, the entire creation must be made new, just as God promised in Isaiah:
God’s people will be raised imperishable, glorious, powerful, spiritual.
It's clear that this creation was created for man's needs and according to man's nature.
We are perishable (even Adam and Eve were perishable, which is why they perished when the sinned), dishonorable, weak, and nature.
The new creation, both heaven and earth, will be made to suit our eternal state.
A Glorious Existence
What is the new Jerusalem?
While some believe that it is a literal, physical city, others believe that it is the people of God who have been saved by Jesus Christ and brought into eternal life; this is also my view.
I’ll tell you why - there are five reasons.
First, the text describes the Bride and city as parallels.
(21:2).
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.
He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
This new creation is necessary.
This current creation was made to suit man, but the righteous are going to be raised with very different natures.
Both v. 2 and v. 9-10 are talking about the very same thing: the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, and described as a Bride.
First, the text describes the Bride and city as parallels.
(21:2, 9-10)
Second, the angel promises to show John the Bride, and shows him the city.
(21:9-10)
What is the new Jerusalem?
While some believe that it is a physical city, others believe that it is the people of God who have been saved by Jesus Christ and brought into eternal life; that's my view.
This is why.
This is what says about our bodies now and the bodies we will have in eternity:
The language is very clear: “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
And there is no bride seen, only the city.
