Scripture lesson: Revelation 21:1-6a The End Time

Time to reflect: For believers, the “End Time” is not scary, but hope filled. At long last we shall all be with our God and with each other. It will be a glorious situation that cannot actually be described in human language, we can only give images.

Moving through the day: The timing of the End Time is unknown and unknowable and cannot be rushed or brought about by humans. It is simply there awaiting us. It gives us hope and comfort in this interim time between Christ and the End Time. Say a prayer of thanksgiving for what is yet to come.

Scripture:

Revelation 21:1-6a

The New Heaven and the New Earth

21Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
‘See, the home* of God is among mortals.
He will dwell* with them;
they will be his peoples,*
and God himself will be with them;*
4he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.’

5 And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ 6Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.
