“A New Heaven and a New Earth” Revelation 21:1-27

TRANSCRIPT

Date: July 2, 2023 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

For the past six thousand years, the current heavens and earth have been subject to God’s curse because of mankind’s sin. Since Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, all creation “has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth” (Romans 8:22) as it awaits the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan of redemption, which is the New Heavens and the New Earth. This event comes after the rapture of the Church, after the tribulation, after the Lord’s second coming, after the millennial kingdom, after the final rebellion, after the final judgment of Satan, and after the Great White Throne Judgment. The current heaven and earth will be replaced by the new heavens and new earth. At that time, the Lord Jesus will ascend to His throne, He will remove the curse of sin, and He will make all things new. The new earth will be free from sin, evil, sickness, suffering, and death. It will be similar to our current earth, but without the curse of sin. It will be earth as God originally intended it to be. It will be Eden restored. We will explain this further in our final sermon in this series: “A New Heaven and a New Earth.”
