The New Jerusalem

We are nearing the end of our study through the Book of Revelation. Since February, we have been looking at the writings of John as he was exiled to the Isle of Patmos. We have seen instructions, warnings, and most recently, judgments as we looked at the end of Revelation 20. Today, we will look at most of Revelation 21 as we are introduced to the New Heaven and New Earth. As we enjoy the splendor and reality of heaven, may we not forget that the eternal hell that we talked about a few weeks ago is just as real. The only hope for those who are lost is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord that we have the ability to share the Good News! Our message title is “The New Jerusalem,” and it comes from Revelation 21:1-21.
