Revelation 21:1-27

1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

9And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

Scripture

The sermon centers on Revelation chapter 21, vividly describing the new heaven and new earth where God makes all things new. This eternal home signifies the end of time as we know it, transitioning into an era of absolute bliss and perfection. The old world, marked by sin and its curses, will be completely removed, and a New Jerusalem will descend from heaven, serving as God’s capital city—a place of unparalleled beauty and divine presence. This new reality fulfills ancient prophecies from Isaiah and Peter, highlighting God’s power to create everything from nothing and offering a literal, tangible future for believers.

This promised eternal home offers immense comfort and rejoicing. God will wipe away all tears, and there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain—both physical and emotional. This ultimate destination for Christians is a testament to God’s eternal plan, fulfilled in Christ, who declares, “It is done.” It speaks of a profound relationship where God will be our God, and we shall be His children, having overcome the world through Him. The sermon also emphasizes satisfaction in Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, who offers the water of life freely to the thirsty.

However, the sermon also addresses the sobering truth that not everyone will inherit this glorious eternal home. Those who reject God—the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—will face the second death in the lake of fire. Yet, through God’s mercy, those who are washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God are declared righteous. This underscores that our salvation is not by our own merit but solely through the grace of Jesus, offering a path to eternal life for all who trust in Him.
