  • Again to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:18.875
  • Is heaven a real place or is it simply a state of mind?
  • 00:00:18.875 --> 00:00:22.779
  • Last time we looked at several passages in the bible that
  • 00:00:22.779 --> 00:00:26.249
  • Tell us heaven is a real physical location,
  • 00:00:26.249 --> 00:00:29.953
  • But what is it really like and who resides there?
  • 00:00:29.953 --> 00:00:33.823
  • Most likely when you refer to heaven,
  • 00:00:33.823 --> 00:00:35.925
  • You mean the place where god currently dwells with believers
  • 00:00:35.925 --> 00:00:39.462
  • Who have passed away, but there's another heaven,
  • 00:00:39.462 --> 00:00:42.699
  • A new one that jesus is building for us right now and that's
  • 00:00:42.699 --> 00:00:46.903
  • The focus of today's discussion.

  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:04:38.468 --> 00:04:45.375
  • Jeffress: what is this fire of judgment that is coming upon the
  • 00:04:45.375 --> 00:04:49.078
  • Earth to destroy the earth?
  • 00:04:49.078 --> 00:04:51.280
  • It's an intense heat, obviously, because even the elements,
  • 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:54.784
  • The basic building blocks of this world are
  • 00:04:54.784 --> 00:04:58.354
  • Completely destroyed.
  • 00:04:58.354 --> 00:05:01.124
  • Some have speculated that perhaps this fiery judgment
  • 00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:05.695
  • That burns up the earth, perhaps it's a great nuclear holocaust
  • 00:05:05.695 --> 00:05:11.334
  • That comes at the end of the great tribulation.
  • 00:05:11.334 --> 00:05:14.637
  • In revelation 16, we find that when the final judgment,
  • 00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:17.940
  • The bowl judgment is poured out, it is poured out in the air.
  • 00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:22.512
  • You see the sky on fire followed by peels of lightning and
  • 00:05:22.512 --> 00:05:26.249
  • Thunder, the destruction of the earth at that time,
  • 00:05:26.249 --> 00:05:29.685
  • Or large portion of the earth.
  • 00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:31.053
  • Some people say, "well, that's what it's talking about here."
  • 00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:33.956
  • The problem with that interpretation is--it's 1,000
  • 00:05:33.956 --> 00:05:37.293
  • Years too early.
  • 00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:39.228
  • That final judgment that accompanies the battle
  • 00:05:39.228 --> 00:05:43.466
  • Of armageddon right before the return of christ is
  • 00:05:43.466 --> 00:05:45.635
  • Before the millennium.
  • 00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:48.604
  • It's not until 1,000 years after christ is here on earth reigning
  • 00:05:48.604 --> 00:05:52.842
  • Over the renovated earth that we find this complete destruction
  • 00:05:52.842 --> 00:05:55.878
  • Of the world.
  • 00:05:55.878 --> 00:05:57.246
  • The truth is we don't know how god accomplishes this,
  • 00:05:57.246 --> 00:06:00.349
  • But what he says is, everything you see around you,
  • 00:06:00.349 --> 00:06:04.153
  • Everything you've accumulated, everything you've set your
  • 00:06:04.153 --> 00:06:07.490
  • Affections on in this world is one day going to be
  • 00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:10.593
  • Completely burned up.
  • 00:06:10.593 --> 00:06:13.329
  • You know, god destroyed the world once before.
  • 00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:16.265
  • He did it with a flood.
  • 00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:18.334
  • He said, "i'll never do that again."
  • 00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:20.303
  • But he did say there's gonna be a final destruction
  • 00:06:20.303 --> 00:06:22.738
  • Of the world.
  • 00:06:22.738 --> 00:06:24.607
  • It will come by fire.
  • 00:06:24.607 --> 00:06:26.342
  • Why is it important that god completely destroy this present
  • 00:06:26.342 --> 00:06:30.112
  • Heaven and earth?
  • 00:06:30.112 --> 00:06:32.215
  • Why can't he, you know, just have a little renovation project
  • 00:06:32.215 --> 00:06:35.585
  • Of this earth, make it a little bit better,
  • 00:06:35.585 --> 00:06:37.286
  • Kind of do a few upgrades here and there?
  • 00:06:37.286 --> 00:06:40.022
  • Let me illustrate to you how sin has infected this world and
  • 00:06:40.022 --> 00:06:45.261
  • Causes everything in this world to deteriorate.
  • 00:06:45.261 --> 00:06:49.432
  • Let's say you are a car collector and you decide to go
  • 00:06:49.432 --> 00:06:53.636
  • Out and spend thousands of dollars on buying a 1955
  • 00:06:53.636 --> 00:06:58.140
  • Classic corvette.
  • 00:06:58.140 --> 00:06:59.876
  • You've been looking for it, you decide to pay the money,
  • 00:06:59.876 --> 00:07:02.879
  • You buy that corvette and you set it outside in your backyard
  • 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:08.050
  • And you do nothing to it in five years,
  • 00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:11.487
  • Ten years, what's gonna happen to that corvette?
  • 00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:15.424
  • It's gonna become a rust basket, isn't it?
  • 00:07:15.424 --> 00:07:20.696
  • I mean, it's just gonna deteriorate out in the elements.
  • 00:07:20.696 --> 00:07:22.999
  • It will be worthless, but i don't care how many years you
  • 00:07:22.999 --> 00:07:27.336
  • Leave that 1955 corvette outside and do nothing to it.
  • 00:07:27.336 --> 00:07:31.474
  • I don't care how long you leave it out there,
  • 00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:33.142
  • It will never evolve into a 2018 lamborghini.
  • 00:07:33.142 --> 00:07:38.548
  • It just never is gonna do it.
  • 00:07:38.548 --> 00:07:40.550
  • It will never through natural selection become a lamborghini.
  • 00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:45.454
  • And i'll tell you something else that will certainly never
  • 00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:47.957
  • Happened is it will never change from a simple corvette to
  • 00:07:47.957 --> 00:07:51.961
  • A complex 777 airliner, jetliner.
  • 00:07:51.961 --> 00:07:55.665
  • Even though the basic building blocks are there for it to
  • 00:07:55.665 --> 00:07:58.100
  • Become that jetliner, it doesn't evolve into something better.
  • 00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:02.939
  • That's what's so ludicrous about the theory of evolution.
  • 00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:06.475
  • The whole direction of everything
  • 00:08:06.475 --> 00:08:10.413
  • In this world is downward.
  • 00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:13.215
  • Everything is deteriorating, your body is deteriorating.
  • 00:08:13.215 --> 00:08:16.686
  • Can i get an amen on that?
  • 00:08:16.686 --> 00:08:18.387
  • I mean, don't you feel that?
  • 00:08:18.387 --> 00:08:19.989
  • I certainly feel it, but it's not just our bodies that
  • 00:08:19.989 --> 00:08:23.559
  • Deteriorate, it's everything in this world is deteriorating as
  • 00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:26.295
  • Well and it's because we've been infected with the sin virus,
  • 00:08:26.295 --> 00:08:29.532
  • But god is going to remove that for the new heaven and new earth
  • 00:08:29.532 --> 00:08:32.868
  • And all of it will be a fulfillment of isaiah 65:17,
  • 00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:37.139
  • "for behold, i create new heavens and a new earth and the
  • 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:41.344
  • Former things will not be remembered or come to mind."
  • 00:08:41.344 --> 00:08:45.214
  • Secondly, the new heaven, our eternal place will be
  • 00:08:45.214 --> 00:08:49.151
  • A physical location."
  • 00:08:49.151 --> 00:08:51.287
  • You know, we are not disembodied spirits.
  • 00:08:51.287 --> 00:08:54.290
  • Once we die, we inhabit a new body.
  • 00:08:54.290 --> 00:08:57.259
  • We are created to be physical beings as well as spiritual
  • 00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:01.163
  • Beings, and therefore, since we are physical beings,
  • 00:09:01.163 --> 00:09:04.367
  • We need a physical location in which to live.
  • 00:09:04.367 --> 00:09:07.903
  • Thirdly, this new place called heaven is going to be familiar
  • 00:09:07.903 --> 00:09:12.842
  • To us.
  • 00:09:12.842 --> 00:09:14.210
  • You know, if we injected most of you with truth serum and ask
  • 00:09:14.210 --> 00:09:16.912
  • You, "are you excited about going to heaven?"
  • 00:09:16.912 --> 00:09:19.315
  • Many of you would say, "i'm not sure how excited i am
  • 00:09:19.315 --> 00:09:22.451
  • About heaven."
  • 00:09:22.451 --> 00:09:23.819
  • Because after all, i mean, it seems so unfamiliar.
  • 00:09:23.819 --> 00:09:26.722
  • We don't know much about it.
  • 00:09:26.722 --> 00:09:28.057
  • We're not sure what it's going to be like.
  • 00:09:28.057 --> 00:09:30.359
  • The fact is we like the familiar,
  • 00:09:30.359 --> 00:09:33.329
  • We get a little bit upset about the idea of moving to a new
  • 00:09:33.329 --> 00:09:36.432
  • Location that we don't know much about or
  • 00:09:36.432 --> 00:09:38.334
  • We don't know the people there, an unfamiliar destination.
  • 00:09:38.334 --> 00:09:41.837
  • But the fact is heaven is going to be a very familiar place
  • 00:09:41.837 --> 00:09:45.374
  • Because it's gonna be this world,
  • 00:09:45.374 --> 00:09:47.910
  • Not some other world in which we'll live for eternity.
  • 00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:51.247
  • My predecessor, dr. criswell, used to talk about that a lot.
  • 00:09:51.247 --> 00:09:54.984
  • He said on one occasion, "i wouldn't look forward that god
  • 00:09:54.984 --> 00:09:59.188
  • Sending me to live for eternity on some planet,
  • 00:09:59.188 --> 00:10:02.958
  • I know nothing about 100 million miles away.
  • 00:10:02.958 --> 00:10:06.829
  • I like almost everything about this earth.
  • 00:10:06.829 --> 00:10:09.899
  • The only thing i don't like are the tears,
  • 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:12.234
  • The separation, and the heartache,
  • 00:10:12.234 --> 00:10:14.570
  • But those will be gone forever in heaven."
  • 00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:18.908
  • Indeed they will.
  • 00:10:18.908 --> 00:10:20.309
  • In revelation 21:4, john says, "and god shall wipe away every
  • 00:10:20.309 --> 00:10:24.547
  • Tear from their eyes and there shall no longer be any death
  • 00:10:24.547 --> 00:10:29.018
  • Or mourning or crying or pain for the first things
  • 00:10:29.018 --> 00:10:31.821
  • Have passed away."
  • 00:10:31.821 --> 00:10:33.355
  • Number four, heaven will have no oceans.
  • 00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:36.525
  • Look at verse 1, again of chapter 21,
  • 00:10:36.525 --> 00:10:38.728
  • "and i saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven
  • 00:10:38.728 --> 00:10:41.764
  • And the first earth passed away and there is no longer any sea."
  • 00:10:41.764 --> 00:10:46.268
  • Do you realize the oceans take up 71% of the space
  • 00:10:46.268 --> 00:10:50.372
  • On our planet?
  • 00:10:50.372 --> 00:10:51.974
  • There'll be no oceans.
  • 00:10:51.974 --> 00:10:53.576
  • I didn't say no water, but no oceans.
  • 00:10:53.576 --> 00:10:56.479
  • Why is that?
  • 00:10:56.479 --> 00:10:57.847
  • Some people have speculated,
  • 00:10:57.847 --> 00:10:59.181
  • "well, we'll need all the land we can get to inhabit everybody
  • 00:10:59.181 --> 00:11:01.517
  • Who's gonna be on the new earth."
  • 00:11:01.517 --> 00:11:04.053
  • Maybe that's true.
  • 00:11:04.053 --> 00:11:05.387
  • Some other people have said, "well,
  • 00:11:05.387 --> 00:11:07.022
  • Salt is necessary from the oceans to serve as
  • 00:11:07.022 --> 00:11:09.558
  • A preservative that in the new heaven and earth there'll be
  • 00:11:09.558 --> 00:11:12.027
  • No sin and no need for preservation."
  • 00:11:12.027 --> 00:11:14.530
  • We don't know the reason, but the fact is there are no oceans
  • 00:11:14.530 --> 00:11:17.800
  • In the new heaven and earth.
  • 00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:19.969
  • Next, the new heaven will have no sun or moon.
  • 00:11:19.969 --> 00:11:24.940
  • Look at verse 23, "and the city, the new jerusalem has no need
  • 00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:28.944
  • For the sun or the moon to shine on it,
  • 00:11:28.944 --> 00:11:31.447
  • For the glory of god has illumined it and the
  • 00:11:31.447 --> 00:11:35.184
  • Its lamp is the lamp."
  • 00:11:35.184 --> 00:11:36.585
  • That's again a fulfillment of isaiah 60, verse 19.
  • 00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:40.489
  • "no longer will you have the sun for light by day,
  • 00:11:40.489 --> 00:11:43.359
  • Nor the brightness will the moon give you light,
  • 00:11:43.359 --> 00:11:47.096
  • But you will have the lord for an everlasting light."
  • 00:11:47.096 --> 00:11:51.534
  • Next, the new heaven and new earth will be free from sin.
  • 00:11:51.534 --> 00:11:56.172
  • Not only will the oceans and the lights in the sky be missing,
  • 00:11:56.172 --> 00:12:00.943
  • There'll no longer be any sin.
  • 00:12:00.943 --> 00:12:03.212
  • Now, you can applaud for that.
  • 00:12:03.212 --> 00:12:05.014
  • That's not good news for me because that means i'm gonna be
  • 00:12:05.014 --> 00:12:08.150
  • Out of a job, there are no pastors in heaven either.
  • 00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:12.021
  • Well, let me rephrase that.
  • 00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:14.156
  • We're gonna be there, but we have to have some job retraining
  • 00:12:14.156 --> 00:12:18.060
  • Because there'll be no need for preaching.
  • 00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:20.629
  • I mean, think about it.
  • 00:12:20.629 --> 00:12:22.031
  • What do preachers talk about?
  • 00:12:22.031 --> 00:12:23.532
  • What are we supposed to talk about?
  • 00:12:23.532 --> 00:12:25.100
  • We're supposed to talk about sin and the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:28.771
  • Well, the fact is there'll be no sin to condemn.
  • 00:12:28.771 --> 00:12:31.774
  • Revelation 22, verse 3.
  • 00:12:31.774 --> 00:12:33.809
  • "there'll no longer be any curse."
  • 00:12:33.809 --> 00:12:35.945
  • Furthermore, everybody will know the lord at that time.
  • 00:12:35.945 --> 00:12:39.215
  • Habakkuk 2:14 says, "for the earth will be filled with the
  • 00:12:39.215 --> 00:12:42.151
  • Knowledge of the glory of the lord as the waters cover
  • 00:12:42.151 --> 00:12:45.888
  • The sea."
  • 00:12:45.888 --> 00:12:47.556
  • The next truth about the new heaven is,
  • 00:12:47.556 --> 00:12:49.859
  • It will have a capital.
  • 00:12:49.859 --> 00:12:52.328
  • There will be a capital, the centerpiece of the new heaven
  • 00:12:52.328 --> 00:12:55.731
  • And earth called "the new jerusalem."
  • 00:12:55.731 --> 00:12:58.767
  • That's interesting.
  • 00:12:58.767 --> 00:13:00.269
  • Even from the old testament, the focus of heaven was a focus
  • 00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:02.838
  • On a city, not just some undefined space up there,
  • 00:13:02.838 --> 00:13:06.842
  • It was an actual city.
  • 00:13:06.842 --> 00:13:08.611
  • In hebrews 11:10, we find this about abraham, "for he
  • 00:13:08.611 --> 00:13:12.047
  • Was looking for the city which has foundations whose architect
  • 00:13:12.047 --> 00:13:16.652
  • And builder is god."
  • 00:13:16.652 --> 00:13:19.021
  • Revelation 3:12, calls jerusalem,
  • 00:13:19.021 --> 00:13:21.657
  • "the city of my god."
  • 00:13:21.657 --> 00:13:23.792
  • Look again at revelation 21, verse 2.
  • 00:13:23.792 --> 00:13:26.595
  • "and i saw the holy city, the new jerusalem,
  • 00:13:26.595 --> 00:13:29.531
  • Coming down out of heaven from god,
  • 00:13:29.531 --> 00:13:31.300
  • Made ready as a bride adorned for her husband."
  • 00:13:31.300 --> 00:13:34.203
  • Verse 10, "and the angel carried me away in the spirit to a great
  • 00:13:34.203 --> 00:13:38.641
  • And high mountain and showed me the holy spirit,
  • 00:13:38.641 --> 00:13:41.377
  • Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from god."
  • 00:13:41.377 --> 00:13:45.648
  • And it's gonna be unlike any city we have ever seen
  • 00:13:45.648 --> 00:13:49.885
  • Or visited.
  • 00:13:49.885 --> 00:13:52.221
  • Let me mention several things about this city,
  • 00:13:52.221 --> 00:13:54.290
  • Which is by the way, your future residence.
  • 00:13:54.290 --> 00:13:57.693
  • First of all, the bible talks about its size.
  • 00:13:57.693 --> 00:14:01.497
  • Have you ever heard people say, "well,
  • 00:14:01.497 --> 00:14:03.399
  • I just don't know how heaven, especially if it's on earth,
  • 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.301
  • Is gonna fit everybody."
  • 00:14:05.301 --> 00:14:07.536
  • Well, maybe there won't be that many people to fit into heaven,
  • 00:14:07.536 --> 00:14:09.838
  • But that's another sermon as well.
  • 00:14:09.838 --> 00:14:12.775
  • But the fact is it's gonna be much larger than
  • 00:14:12.775 --> 00:14:15.511
  • You might first think.
  • 00:14:15.511 --> 00:14:16.845
  • Look at verse 16, "and the city is laid out as a square and its
  • 00:14:16.845 --> 00:14:22.084
  • Length is as great as the width; and the angel measured the city
  • 00:14:22.084 --> 00:14:27.056
  • With the rod and it was fifteen hundred miles in length and
  • 00:14:27.056 --> 00:14:30.526
  • Width and its height are equal."
  • 00:14:30.526 --> 00:14:33.996
  • Let's just take the length and the width here before
  • 00:14:33.996 --> 00:14:36.632
  • We get to the height.
  • 00:14:36.632 --> 00:14:38.233
  • Let's just say it is a true square,
  • 00:14:38.233 --> 00:14:41.904
  • 1500 miles by 1500 miles, that is 2.25 million square miles.
  • 00:14:41.904 --> 00:14:49.945
  • Now, to put that in perspective, new york city is 305 square
  • 00:14:49.945 --> 00:14:55.084
  • Miles and you fit 10 million people into that.
  • 00:14:55.084 --> 00:14:59.922
  • This is 2.25 million square miles for the new jerusalem.
  • 00:14:59.922 --> 00:15:07.096
  • But the fact is it's not just a square because john
  • 00:15:07.096 --> 00:15:10.699
  • Mentioned the height of it.
  • 00:15:10.699 --> 00:15:12.401
  • The height is 1500 miles.
  • 00:15:12.401 --> 00:15:16.038
  • You know what that means?
  • 00:15:16.038 --> 00:15:17.873
  • That means it is 660,000 stories high.
  • 00:15:17.873 --> 00:15:24.446
  • The largest skyscraper in the world in dubai is 162 stories,
  • 00:15:24.446 --> 00:15:29.151
  • The new jerusalem will be 660,000 floors high.
  • 00:15:29.151 --> 00:15:33.922
  • I can't imagine the elevators necessary to get people to
  • 00:15:33.922 --> 00:15:37.026
  • The top in that thing.
  • 00:15:37.026 --> 00:15:38.394
  • That is one large city.
  • 00:15:38.394 --> 00:15:40.596
  • And notice not only that.
  • 00:15:40.596 --> 00:15:42.064
  • Verse 17, "and the angel measured the wall."
  • 00:15:42.064 --> 00:15:45.134
  • There's gonna be a wall around the city and it is
  • 00:15:45.134 --> 00:15:47.603
  • 72 yards thick.
  • 00:15:47.603 --> 00:15:50.005
  • That is three-quarters of a football field thick.
  • 00:15:50.005 --> 00:15:53.475
  • One mathematician calculated that if the new jerusalem is
  • 00:15:53.475 --> 00:15:57.980
  • Shaped like a cube, it would have enough room for
  • 00:15:57.980 --> 00:16:01.550
  • 20 billion residents.
  • 00:16:01.550 --> 00:16:04.787
  • If each individual residence were a massive 75 acres,
  • 00:16:04.787 --> 00:16:10.459
  • There would also be plenty of room left over for parks and
  • 00:16:10.459 --> 00:16:14.096
  • Streets and other features that you'd likely see
  • 00:16:14.096 --> 00:16:16.498
  • In any major city.
  • 00:16:16.498 --> 00:16:18.967
  • That's the size of the new jerusalem god is preparing
  • 00:16:18.967 --> 00:16:21.203
  • For you.
  • 00:16:21.203 --> 00:16:22.971
  • Secondly, it's gates.
  • 00:16:22.971 --> 00:16:24.640
  • Look at verses 12 and 13, "and it had a great and high wall
  • 00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:28.710
  • With twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels."
  • 00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:32.014
  • Verse 13, "there were three gates on the east,
  • 00:16:32.014 --> 00:16:34.950
  • The north, the south, and the west."
  • 00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:37.453
  • And ancient civilizations, gates were very important,
  • 00:16:37.453 --> 00:16:39.922
  • They were a way that you would protect the civilization.
  • 00:16:39.922 --> 00:16:42.925
  • You would close the gates at night in order
  • 00:16:42.925 --> 00:16:45.527
  • To protect the citizens.
  • 00:16:45.527 --> 00:16:47.062
  • But notice in verse 25 about these gates,
  • 00:16:47.062 --> 00:16:48.864
  • "in the daytime, there will be no night there,
  • 00:16:48.864 --> 00:16:51.733
  • No gates will ever be closed and nothing unclean and no one who
  • 00:16:51.733 --> 00:16:56.305
  • Practices abomination and lying shall ever come into it,
  • 00:16:56.305 --> 00:16:59.875
  • But only those whose names are written in the
  • 00:16:59.875 --> 00:17:02.945
  • Lamb's book of life."
  • 00:17:02.945 --> 00:17:05.547
  • You know today, if you live in a gated community,
  • 00:17:05.547 --> 00:17:08.050
  • The gates are shut, they're locked at night.
  • 00:17:08.050 --> 00:17:10.385
  • If you don't, you at least lock your door, don't you?
  • 00:17:10.385 --> 00:17:13.355
  • Even the happiest place in all the world, disneyland, locks
  • 00:17:13.355 --> 00:17:18.160
  • Its gates at night.
  • 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.596
  • But in the new jerusalem, there'll be
  • 00:17:20.596 --> 00:17:21.964
  • No locking the gates.
  • 00:17:21.964 --> 00:17:23.699
  • You won't have to lock your windows, lock your doors.
  • 00:17:23.699 --> 00:17:27.536
  • You can leave the windows open of your car, you can leave
  • 00:17:27.536 --> 00:17:29.671
  • Your keys in the car and nothing will happen, because sin and
  • 00:17:29.671 --> 00:17:33.509
  • Sinners will be eliminated forever, which means
  • 00:17:33.509 --> 00:17:37.045
  • There'll be no police in heaven either.
  • 00:17:37.045 --> 00:17:39.148
  • My brother's going to have to find a new line
  • 00:17:39.148 --> 00:17:40.749
  • Of work as well, anybody in law enforcement,
  • 00:17:40.749 --> 00:17:43.352
  • No need for that because sin will be eradicated.
  • 00:17:43.352 --> 00:17:47.089
  • Number three, the permanence of heaven.
  • 00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:50.225
  • Look at verse 14.
  • 00:17:50.225 --> 00:17:51.960
  • "and the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones and on
  • 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.130
  • Them were twelve names of the twelve apostles and the lamb."
  • 00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:59.735
  • You know, this only means something probably to those
  • 00:17:59.735 --> 00:18:02.437
  • Of you who've had to move a lot.
  • 00:18:02.437 --> 00:18:04.873
  • Maybe you were in the military, maybe you were in ministry,
  • 00:18:04.873 --> 00:18:08.477
  • Maybe something else in your job means you're continually
  • 00:18:08.477 --> 00:18:11.280
  • Uprooting and going to an unfamiliar location.
  • 00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:13.882
  • The fact that there are foundational stones means this
  • 00:18:13.882 --> 00:18:17.019
  • Residence is permanent.
  • 00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:19.555
  • You'll never move again.
  • 00:18:19.555 --> 00:18:21.356
  • This is your forever home.
  • 00:18:21.356 --> 00:18:23.091
  • And notice the splendor of the new jerusalem.
  • 00:18:23.091 --> 00:18:26.962
  • As john describes it, it is more beautiful even than the
  • 00:18:26.962 --> 00:18:30.666
  • Emerald city of the fictitious land of oz.
  • 00:18:30.666 --> 00:18:34.770
  • We see in verses 10 and 11, "the holy city,
  • 00:18:34.770 --> 00:18:36.838
  • Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from god having
  • 00:18:36.838 --> 00:18:39.641
  • The glory of god.
  • 00:18:39.641 --> 00:18:41.243
  • Her brilliance was like a very costly stone and a stone
  • 00:18:41.243 --> 00:18:45.080
  • Of crystal clear jasper."
  • 00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:47.983
  • And then chapter 22, verse 1, "and the angel showed me a river
  • 00:18:47.983 --> 00:18:51.587
  • Of the water of life, clear as crystal,
  • 00:18:51.587 --> 00:18:54.256
  • Coming from the throne of god and of the lamb."
  • 00:18:54.256 --> 00:18:56.925
  • I said, there wasn't going to be an ocean in heaven,
  • 00:18:56.925 --> 00:19:00.128
  • But there's gonna be plenty of clear fresh water pouring
  • 00:19:00.128 --> 00:19:03.332
  • From the throne of god.
  • 00:19:03.332 --> 00:19:04.666
  • And look at verse 2.
  • 00:19:04.666 --> 00:19:06.001
  • "and on either side of this river was the tree of life,
  • 00:19:06.001 --> 00:19:10.205
  • Bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month;
  • 00:19:10.205 --> 00:19:13.775
  • And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
  • 00:19:13.775 --> 00:19:17.879
  • Do you remember the tree of life?
  • 00:19:17.879 --> 00:19:19.715
  • Last time we saw it
  • 00:19:19.715 --> 00:19:21.149
  • Was in the book of genesis, in the garden of eden.
  • 00:19:21.149 --> 00:19:25.020
  • And after adam and eve rebelled against god,
  • 00:19:25.020 --> 00:19:27.956
  • God banished them from the garden, why?
  • 00:19:27.956 --> 00:19:30.726
  • So that they would not eat of that tree of life.
  • 00:19:30.726 --> 00:19:34.429
  • Had they eaten of the tree of life after they sinned,
  • 00:19:34.429 --> 00:19:37.833
  • They would've been forever doomed in their sin.
  • 00:19:37.833 --> 00:19:40.969
  • It was an act of mercy that god banished them from the garden.
  • 00:19:40.969 --> 00:19:44.172
  • But now in the new heaven and new earth,
  • 00:19:44.172 --> 00:19:47.175
  • We see that tree of life again bearing fruit every month,
  • 00:19:47.175 --> 00:19:49.911
  • And the leaves are for the healing of the nations.
  • 00:19:49.911 --> 00:19:53.315
  • You know what that means?
  • 00:19:53.315 --> 00:19:56.852
  • I don't have a clue what it means,
  • 00:19:56.852 --> 00:20:00.122
  • But one thing i do know for sure is,
  • 00:20:00.122 --> 00:20:02.724
  • It's telling us there is no sickness in heaven.
  • 00:20:02.724 --> 00:20:07.262
  • No sickness because there's no sin.
  • 00:20:07.262 --> 00:20:09.931
  • And that means not only will there not be any pastors
  • 00:20:09.931 --> 00:20:13.969
  • Or policemen or lawyers,
  • 00:20:13.969 --> 00:20:16.338
  • There won't be any doctors in heaven either.
  • 00:20:16.338 --> 00:20:19.041
  • This is sounding better to you all all the time, isn't it?
  • 00:20:19.041 --> 00:20:22.544
  • Come on, you can laugh there, i mean, the idea-- you won't
  • 00:20:22.544 --> 00:20:25.247
  • Have to deal with us anymore because you won't need that.
  • 00:20:25.247 --> 00:20:28.350
  • The fact is there'll be no more sickness.
  • 00:20:28.350 --> 00:20:30.552
  • We are in bodies that will endure forever.
  • 00:20:30.552 --> 00:20:34.456
  • And by the way, something else that's not in heaven.
  • 00:20:34.456 --> 00:20:36.892
  • Chapter 21, verse 22.
  • 00:20:36.892 --> 00:20:38.860
  • "i did not see a temple either because god almighty and
  • 00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:43.598
  • The lamb are the temple."
  • 00:20:43.598 --> 00:20:45.834
  • If you go to jerusalem right now,
  • 00:20:45.834 --> 00:20:47.536
  • Even though the temple has been pretty much destroyed,
  • 00:20:47.536 --> 00:20:51.773
  • You can see it was the focal point of the city of jerusalem.
  • 00:20:51.773 --> 00:20:55.777
  • But in the new jerusalem, there'll be no house of worship.
  • 00:20:55.777 --> 00:21:00.048
  • There'll be no temple.
  • 00:21:00.048 --> 00:21:01.717
  • There'll be no first baptist church.
  • 00:21:01.717 --> 00:21:04.152
  • It won't be necessary because god and his son will represent
  • 00:21:04.152 --> 00:21:10.025
  • The temple of god and it is in god's presence that we will live
  • 00:21:10.025 --> 00:21:17.199
  • And work and play and worship him forever.
  • 00:21:17.199 --> 00:21:23.538
  • The bible says right now, jesus is in heaven preparing
  • 00:21:23.538 --> 00:21:30.178
  • A place for you.
  • 00:21:30.178 --> 00:21:32.547
  • You know the greatest thing about that are those two words
  • 00:21:32.547 --> 00:21:34.750
  • "for you."
  • 00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:36.451
  • God is creating heaven right now with you in mind.
  • 00:21:36.451 --> 00:21:41.757
  • C.s. lewis said it this way; "your place in heaven will seem
  • 00:21:41.757 --> 00:21:45.327
  • To be made for you and you alone because you were made for it.
  • 00:21:45.327 --> 00:21:51.400
  • Made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand."
  • 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:59.674
  • There's a contemporary christian song, "i can only imagine."
  • 00:21:59.674 --> 00:22:05.914
  • The truth is that place god is preparing for you right now is
  • 00:22:05.914 --> 00:22:11.453
  • Beyond our wildest imagination.
  • 00:22:11.453 --> 00:22:15.023
  • Don't you want to go?
  • 00:22:15.023 --> 00:22:17.959
  • "i go to prepare a place for you,
  • 00:22:17.959 --> 00:22:21.696
  • And if i go and prepare a place for you,
  • 00:22:21.696 --> 00:22:24.332
  • I will come again and receive you unto myself that where
  • 00:22:24.332 --> 00:22:28.370
  • I am there you may be also."
  • 00:22:28.370 --> 00:22:33.208
  • Jeffress: beyond our wildest imagination,
  • 00:22:37.045 --> 00:22:40.282
  • God is preparing a place in heaven right now for those
  • 00:22:40.282 --> 00:22:44.453
  • Who trust in jesus christ.
  • 00:22:44.453 --> 00:22:46.621
  • Such an encouraging promise from god's word today.
  • 00:22:46.621 --> 00:22:50.525
  • Now in closing, i want to reinforce why the ministry
  • 00:22:50.525 --> 00:22:54.029

  • Overwhelming.
  • 00:23:43.044 --> 00:23:44.379

  • 00:23:44.379 --> 00:23:47.816
