And He Will Wipe Away Every Tear From Their Eyes

REVELATION 21:3-5
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

Can you even imagine what eternal life will be like? It doesn’t seem possible, but those days are coming; it is our confident hope, our future for all that believe in Christ, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The holy city, the “new Jerusalem” is described as the place where God will live among His people; He will live among us, and there shall be no more pain nor sorrow, God Himself will wipe away our every tear. There will be no sickness nor death, nor mourning-no funerals to arrange or attend, all of those things would have passed away.
But we, God’s very own people will live contented, productive, joyful and peaceful lives forever. It sounds like a dream, but it is a wonderful truth!
God’s Word is true; for, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬
It begins with the majestic story of God creation of the universe, and concludes with His creation of a new heaven and earth, and He said, “write, for these words are true and faithful.””
God is our creator, He cannot lie, He does not make false promises, and no one can stop His plans; not His plan for your individual life, nor His ultimate plan for the whole eternal future. “There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This is a wonderful truth of encouragement for every believer to focus on; whatever our situation today, whatever troubles besiege you, however difficult life has become, it is temporary, and the best is yet to come.
This is the final chapter, true fulfilment and eternal joy for those who believe in Him.
We can not imagine just how wonderful our future will be, but it is enough to know that our never ending future with God will be by far, more wonderful than we can even start to imagine.
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
