Isaiah 65: 17-25
These verses describe what the New Heavetn and New Earth will be like:
Rejoicing and gladness, extremely long lives, being able to enjoy your own accomplishments for an extended length of time and never having to give them up for someone else to benefit from; no more sin, no evil or harm in God's whole government.
66: 4
I will bring on them what they dread; because I called but they didn't answer, I spoke but they refused to listen. They did what I consider evil. They chose to do their own thing.
66: 22-24
The New Heaven and New Earth I am about to make will continue in My presence, declares the Lord. So your decendants and your name will also continue in My presence. From one month to the next and from one week to the next all people will come to worship Me, declares the Lord.
Then they will go out and look at the corpses of those who have rebelled against Me. The worms that eat them will not die. The fire that consumes them will not go out. All humanity will be disgusted by them.
These last two chapters in the book of Isaiah describe the final state of all Creation, the New Heaven and the New Earth. This is as far into the future the Bible goes.
And it is a veritable Heaven On Earth! No one will die, whatever someone does or achieves, they will be able to enjoy it for a very long extended time, and there will be no crime, no sickness, no mishaps to mar the perfect existance God has planned for us.
But those who refuse to accept what God offers or admit their need of Him will suffer intermidably just as the righteous ones who have accepted His righteousness will have pleasure intermidably.
Our Eternities will then be set, for good or bad, with no possible changes. Today is when we have the choices, to be able to choose God and His ways or to choose our own way in life. Now is the time we can turn to God from whatever has had first place in our lives. Today is the day of Salvation.
Jesus is God the Father's Lamb of God, the sacrificial Lamb that God allowed to be sacrificed for human sins. My sins. Your sins. Individually.
He is our Personal Savior, taking our death upon Himself for each of us.
So ask yourself: "Did Jesus take My Place in death?"
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
