The heavens will be
filled with God’s light, with a temple made of colorful, precious stones, with
one gigantic pearl operating each gate, with sheer golden glass for pathways,
with fresh and unique fruit harvesting each month, there for our satisfaction.
The angels will
surround the throne. We will witness beauty and wonder as we work and praise
God forever. Just a glimpse into the descriptions of heaven fills us with awe, with wonder, with anticipation.
If we could see into the glory of the new heaven and the new earth, we would
not be able to stand it here one moment longer. God gives us just a taste of
what we will witness.
Allow your
imagination to look up as we wait. Soon, we will be done with pain, with chaos,
with disaster, with sickness and grief, with a fallen world filled with
violence and drugs and hatred. Peace will flow like a river, and joy will
overflow.
The
foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.
The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the
fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the
eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and
the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a
single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold as pure as transparent
glass. Revelation 21:19-21
We can only imagine
as we wait for the day we will see all of God’s glory.
Amen
