A Wonderful Day in the Lord

We have been looking at the subject of what is heaven like and that includes not only heaven but the eternal state that the Lord will take us to when we leave this life. So, that is the subject. We are looking at different issues wrapped around that. I think that most people are confused about heaven and a lot of people aren’t even very happy about going there. I think back to reading the book The...

We are going to finish out our discussion today of what is heaven like with the question: What will we be like in heaven? Will we have physical bodies, and if so what kind of bodies will they be? We will start in John 5:28, it says, “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrecti...

We are having a little mini-series on heaven. Our question today is: What will heaven be like for the redeemed? We are not asking what heaven is like now, but what it will be like then. We are going to look at what we will be doing there in heaven, in glory with the Lord today. In Revelation 19, we pick up on the issue of worship. One of the primary features in heaven is the worship of God. We fin...

We are discussing the issue of what is heaven like. The subject I would like to address this time is: Is there a difference between the Millennial Kingdom and the Eternal Kingdom? I believe there is a major difference, and we find that in Revelation 20. It says in Revelation 20:1, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid...

As we are looking at heaven and our eternal abode, what we are going to answer today is: Where will we live forever? That is a subject that has come up a lot lately. Some have gotten a little bit testy about this. There have been a lot of books and articles in recent times telling us that we will not live in heaven for eternity. The books say that we will live on the earth, and we should quit talk...

In our Wonderful Day in the Lord, we are going to look at the issues about heaven. We have been looking at the book of Revelation for a long time and we looked at the information the Lord gives us about the future and heaven and the eternal kingdom. Those are very important things we have looked at and we are going to look at it a little deeper now and go back and look at questions people have in...

I hope you have enjoyed our study through the book of Revelation. It has been a joy for me. I trust there has been much that you can understand and apply to your life. We come today to the very final words of the book of Revelation and the very final words of the scriptures. We pick up in Revelation 22:17 with a final invitation, “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say...

We are headed down the homestretch of the book of Revelation now. We have been studying this book for several months looking at the details and promises and prophecies and all that God has for us here. We come to Revelation 22:16-17 today. Once again, we are focusing on an angel, “I, Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches.” Now, earlier in Revelation 1 He talks ab...

We are looking today at the final messages that Jesus leaves His people, and we begin in Revelation 22:13 with a comment by Christ Himself that says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” All three of these titles have been used throughout the book of Revelation in reference both to the Father and the Son. Depending on the context, you will find both be...

For some time now we have systematically gone through the book of Revelation and looking at the highlights and some details along the way as well. We have come to this last chapter. The last messages the Lord wants to leave with His people before He closes the scriptures, and that would be the last message that He would give us before His return. We want to pick that up in Revelation 22:10, “And h...

If you had one message to leave the ones you love with just a few moments to tell them what you wanted them to remember after you are gone and what to look forward to, what would you say to them? We might have a lot of different ideas on that, but when the Lord is closing His revelation in Scripture with Revelation 22, He has one simple message that He will come back to several times: He is coming...

We are going to continue looking at what we know in Scripture about our eternal existence. There are odds and ends throughout the Bible and especially in Revelation 21-22 on that subject. I want to summarize very quickly nine things that we know for certain about our eternal life that is found in Revelation and some other places. Here are nine things we know for certain will happen in our eternal...

We are enjoying the study of the book of Revelation, and we have worked our way through to Revelation 22 and we are looking at the eternal state and what the Lord has provided us for eternity. In the first three verses we have seen some of the things we will enjoy in the new Jerusalem. We have the tree of life, the river of life, and the throne of God and we see that the curse has been removed. Th...

We looked at the first verses of Revelation 22 and looking at what God has planned for us for all of eternity. We have already seen that there is a river of life flowing from the river of God in Revelation 22:1 and a tree of life in Revelation 22:2, so life is predominant. We are going to have eternal life in the presence of the Lord forever if we know Christ as our Savior and that life is going t...

Last time we looked at the river of life in Revelation 21:1, and learned the river symbolizes the life that God gave us. It is the spring of life that Jesus spoke of in John 4, and it flows from the throne of God in the new Jerusalem. In Revelation 22:2, we see the tree of life, “On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and th...

We are looking at the last book of the Bible. In Revelation 22 we are looking at the eternal state, the city of new Jerusalem and what life will be like there. There are some details found here in Revelation 22 that are found nowhere else in Scripture. Although, as we will see going through these verses there is a draw from other scriptures, both New and Old Testament, to some of the pictures and...

We conclude our study of Revelation 21 with the life in the city of God, the new Jerusalem, in the eternal state by looking at the central person in this whole text, which is the Lamb of God. We have mentioned before how often the word “Lamb,” in reference to Christ, is used in the book of Revelation. It is the predominate use of the word throughout Scripture. I am not going to try to interpret ea...

This time we are going to explore together life in the eternal city of God. Revelation 21-22 gives us most of the information that the Bible gives us about that. It is very interesting. We are looking at Revelation 21:22, “I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” So, this is going over a few details that we find about the city of God. The first is, there i...

We are continuing our study of the new Jerusalem in Revelation 21. Before I jump into that, I would mention to you that there is a small little Bible called the Legacy Standard Bible. It is being put out by Master’s Seminary and the professors there. Only the New Testament and the Psalms and Proverbs have been translated so far. The rest of the translation is coming out later. It is a revision of...

We are enjoying right now the study concerning the new Jerusalem, the place that you and I, if we know Christ as our Savior, will live forever. We are having some pictures here of what that looks like. Obviously, the details are the best the Lord can give to human beings who cannot comprehend the glories of heaven. What we have seen is that we are going to be living in a wonderful and beautiful an...

We are starting to understand a little bit about our eternal state that we will be in forever if we know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. We are looking at the new Jerusalem in Revelation 21. Some details are given to us about where we will live forever if we know Christ. Some things we will see today beginning with Revelation 21:9 and going through to Revelation 22:3, seven different times “t...

Greetings! We began looking at the new Jerusalem, our abode in the eternal state in Revelation 21 last time. We are excited about looking at this. There are details that the Lord gives us about this place that we will live that we will look at for the next several times. There is nothing quite like this in the rest of Scripture. We have pictures of the Millennial Kingdom in much of the Old Testame...

We are beginning to look at some of the glories of our eternal state in what is called here the new Jerusalem in Revelation 21. In Revelation 21:9, it says, “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, ‘Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’” This is a beautiful term right here as we move into this descri...

This today is very much a wonderful day in the Lord! We begin to get a picture of what life will be like for all of eternity for those that know Christ as Lord and Savior starting in Revelation 21:5. It’s a wonderful picture beyond our comprehension, but we do get glimmers and peeks of what it will be like. Look at Revelation 21:5, “And He who sits on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all thin...

Finally, what a relief it is, we are going to look at the eternal state, the eternal kingdom! Revelation 21-22 are the fullest pictures and understanding of the eternal state, and what life will be like for us with the Lord forever. So, we are going to take a rendezvous through that for the next several times and find out what it is that the Lord has planned for us. We begin with Revelation 21:1,...
