... And the leaves of the Tree of Life were for the healing of the Nations.
God will never stop working to heal us completely even throughout all eternity!
He will never give up on us.
There will be a whole New Heaven and New Earth, and there will be no more curse; no more sickness, sorrow, wearing out, death, etc. It will be a whole New Universe! Based on a whole new Basis of Existence.
Since God will finish the work He began in us on the Day Jesus returns (Philippians 1: 6), then maybe we will be His servants who serve Him, and other "peoples" will be the Nations that will need healing.
I don't know; God can make as many Worlds and Universes as He wants, and He's only given us a bit of a glimpse of what will come after this one.
He has told us that we will, "be His people and He will be with [us] and be [our] God" (Revelation 21:3); and everything will be made "new" (v. 5). We will live with Him forever, and belong to Him. Jesus' Kingdom will never stop increasing (Isaiah 9:7), and we are His Royal Family who will "sit on His Throne" with Him (Ephesians 2:6; Revelation 3:21), meaning that we will help Him "rule" or run this New Creation.
We are God's imagination, and He's made us in His image after His likeness, so we have imagination, too, to create new things out of what He has created for us.
We can see even now in this life that God has given us so many gifts of abilities and skills and propensities to accomplish whatever our imaginations can conger up when we get together with our purposes and are willing to do the work to make it happen. (As God said in Genesis 11:6.) As a Race of Man we have accomplished so many "miracles" of technology, medicine, manufacturing of goods, quality of life, etc., whatever we've been able to imagine.
O my Father, You are so great, greater than I can imagine. You are good, and our standard for goodness. You are just, and our standard for justice. You are our Creator, our Maker, our Designer; and You are our Model for who You want us to be.
You sent Your own Son, Who is the same as the Father, to be our Messiah and Savior. And to show us how You are. You gave us Your Law, all the rules to guide our lives, to show us what He would accomplish, and He did. He said, "I have not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it" (Matthew 5:17), which He did in His life (all the civil and moral laws) and His death (the sacrificial laws, as the Lamb of God).
Father, You have planned out everything that has happened, is happening, and ever will happen, throughout all eternity past, present, and future. And You are so wise and clever to use even what evil people wickedly imagine in their rebellion against You to accomplish Your will and Your plan, so that everything will come out and end up exactly the way You planned it.
I know I can trust You to do whatever You do for my benefit, even when I am not enjoying what is happening in my life or in the World around me. Just as You used my choices to show me how much I needed You (and still need You, every day), so the freewheeling of the evil surrounding us in this World is to show those of the World their need for You, also.
Show me, Father, where I am to go, what I am to do, what attitudes to hold, who I am to converse with, what words to use, what lifestyle to display; that You will use me to draw many to Yourself. That I will be used of You to find and gather some of Your lost sheep into Your fold.
That Your Kingdom will grow to tremendous proportions, and You will receive all the glory for all You are and do.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
