Key Text: Revelation 21:4– “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” PRAYER

Last week we discovered that when Jesus comes, He will change our bodies.

This week we are going to discover other facts about Heaven. Our first text is Revelation 21:4. POINT TO EMPHASIZE: There are no undesirable traits in heaven such as sickness, sorrow, death, pain, all of which are associated with this life.

POINTS TO EMPHASIZE: There is a re-creation of heaven and earth. The former things are not remembered, nor do they come into mind. We will build houses and inhabit them and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. Each shall enjoy the work of his own hands, and none will labour in vain or bring forth trouble.

POINTS TO EMPHASIZE: The Book of Isaiah 11:6-9 says that it will be a place of peace and tranquility—the wolf and the lamb will play together.

POINTS TO EMPHASIZE: John is trying to describe heaven so as to avoid two extremes: Explaining heaven away as being unreal, imaginary, ghostlike; Making it only what he briefly describes—too earthly and nothing more.

POINTS TO EMPHASIZE: – At no time has man seen, heard, or even dreamed of the wonderful things God has prepared for those who love Him. – It’s beyond comprehension, imagination, or description.

POINTS TO EMPHASIZE: As Mary recognized the resurrected Jesus by His voice, so we shall recognize one another by our voices. It says in verses 27 and 28 that Thomas recognized Jesus by His appearance; so we shall recognize one another by our appearances.

POINTS TO EMPHASIZE: The disciples recognized Moses and Elijah when Christ was transfigured. How? By cognition—recognizing a person by His speech and actions as a result of studying history. So we shall know People about whom we have studied and learnt to know through history.

POINT TO EMPHASIZE: – We shall see through the mysteries of this life as God knows us now.

POINT TO EMPHASIZE: – As many as receive Him Christ are enabled to become sons, or heirs, of God.

God is definitely offering us something better than we now have. The only question is, “Will we fulfil the conditions so that we can accept it?”

Thank God for His love in preparing a place for us. Ask for help to follow His commands so that we will be able to enjoy heaven. Remember the family’s need.

Today we studied about a few of the desirable features of heave. Next week we shall see how long the righteous will live in heave in a study entitled “The Millennium.”
