DAY THIRTY-FIVE – Monday, March 29, 2021
 
​Revelation 21:1-4
 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. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
“See, the home of God is among mortals.
He will dwell with them;
they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them;
he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.”
 
John sees a new heaven and a new earth, a transformation. Then the Holy city of Jerusalem descends from heaven, looking beautiful and new in white, much like a bride on her wedding day. This will be God's home. A loud voice speaks, saying “God’s home is with humankind. He will live with all his people. There will be no more death or sorrow or pain. I am sure there were tears of thanksgiving and joy. What a wonderful prophecy. I pray for the day when all people of every nation can live together as one loving family.
