Eternal Benefits

Isaiah 55:12-13

For you will go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break out into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thorn bush the cypress will come up; and instead of the nettle the myrtle will come up; and it will be a memorial to the Lord, for an everlasting sign which will not be cut off.

These verses describe how the New Earth will operate without the curse of death (entropy) that this Earth is subject to; we will have perfect joy and peace, the mountains and hills will rejoice with us, the trees will "clap their hands," no weeds will grow, only what is beneficial, and it will last forever. God will receive all the glory and we will enjoy all the benefits.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
