10/25 Revelation 22:1-9
1 And the angel showed me a pure river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. 3 No longer will anything be cursed. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. 4 And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. 5 And there will be no night there — no need for lamps or sun — for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever. 6 Then the angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true: ‘The Lord God, who tells his prophets what the future holds, has sent his angel to tell you what will happen soon.'” 7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the prophecy written in this scroll.” 8 I, John, am the one who saw and heard all these things. And when I saw and heard these things, I fell down to worship the angel who showed them to me. 9 But again he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this scroll. Worship God!”

10/24 Revelation 21:22-27
22 No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. 24 The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it. 25 Its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night. 26 And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. 27 Nothing evil will be allowed to enter — no one who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty — but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
NAME
Is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Do you know how to make sure that it is? Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sin and come into your heart and save. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Let Him give you life.
10/23 Revelation 21:17-21
17 Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (the angel used a standard human measure). 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were made of pearls — each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.
PEARLS
The twelve gates are truly the Gates-Beautiful. Can you imagine anything as perfect looking as a gate made from pearls? Symmetry, surface and reflection are all elements of a beautiful gate that reflect the Lord’s glory. We will see those gates. They are a part of the City of God and will be a part of what we experience there. The Lord God is beautiful.
10/22 Revelation 21:15-16
15 The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, it was in the form of a cube, for its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.
MEASURE
Huge is the best description of the city of God. 7,392,000 feet is a lot of feet. The surface measure is 5.464 to the 12th in square feet. Huge! The Lord has prepared a place for us where we will not be overcrowded, overworked, over extended or out of sorts. The City of God is going to be a magnificent place and you will be there.
10/21 Revelation 21:11-14
11 It was filled with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper. 12 Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. 13 There were three gates on each side — east, north, south, and west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
GATES
How fabulous are the gates of the New Jerusalem? Can you imagine? Everything surrounding the Father will be spectacular. When we are with Jesus and the Father we will experience beyond what we can even think today. Beautiful gates that will reflect the beauty of the Lord and just like you as you live your life filled with Jesus you will reflect the beauty of the Lord.
10/20 Revelation 21:9-10
9 Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 So he took me in spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
ONE-DAY
One day every Word of the Lord God will come true. One day seems like it is a long time from us and yet a thousand days are as one day to the Lord. In eternity time is abolished. All the things that we know to be true will indeed come true. The Lord will appear and we will live with Him forever. One day we will see Jesus face to face.
10/19 Revelation 21:8
8 But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars — their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”
CHOICE
This sounds harsh and hard but it is simple and true. We can choose to follow the Lord or we can choose to go our own way. The easy way, our way ends in destruction. Listen to Jesus and give your heart to Him and live. Your choice.
10/18 Revelation 21:5-7
5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making all things new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” 6 And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega — the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give the springs of the water of life without charge! 7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
HIS
We will belong to God and be in His presence. We will know exactly everything we need to experience the very best of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. No more wondering. No more fear. No more today or tomorrow, time will be destroyed; all will be right now in eternity.
10/17 Revelation 21:4
4 He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever.”
GONE
Everything we have suffered in this world will be destroyed so that it can hurt us no more. We are children of God and will experience life like God’s life for eternity. I am looking forward to that day when we will see Him face to face.
10/16 Revelation 21:2-3
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband. 3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.
YES
This world is not our home. We have a home made without hands for us. That home will be in the presence of God. What a homecoming. What a Savior. Our God is a good and wonderful loving God who desires to be with us. Jesus is Lord.
