I never thought too much about Heaven, until we lost dad. Now I think about it all the time. Here's why Heaven is better than you've ever imagined!Note: There is a technical distinction to be made between "Heaven" and the "New Heaven/final Kingdom." The term "Heaven" is used generally in this episode because it is the terminology that most people are familiar with.The target of his ministry is to clearly communicate the gospel of grace to unbelievers and solid Bible teaching to believers in order to nurture them to grow and walk in fellowship with Jesus Christ. Josiah and his family are supported by people who believe in the gospel and want to see it preached and defended.

Join host Darnelle Radford as he sits down with Ang Bey, also known as Rayne, to discuss her innovative play "New Heaven, New Earth." This episode delves into the creative process behind adapting Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" into a modern narrative that explores themes of identity, power, and cultural legacy. ABOUT NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH On the edge of empire, Cleopatra battles a soothsaying Crocodile in this revisionist, Afrocentric adaptation of Shakespeare's “Antony and Cleopatra”. Written by Rayne, directed by Shamus, with live music by Karen Smith, "new heaven new earth” is an allegory that blends ancient history with poetic futurism. When peace demands war, what will you become, and for whom? After an over-sold, one-night showing at Philly Theatre Week, "new heaven new earth" continues its development through Philadelphia Theatre Company's Text and Dramaturgy Cohort at Cannonball. Join us for two, developmental staged-readings of this new play commissioned and produced by Shakespeare in Clark Park with Upstream Performance Collaborative and Cannonball.

On the history of the churches True Christian Religion 762. That four churches have existed on this earth since the creation of the world is in accordance with Divine order, which requires that there be a beginning and then its end before a new beginning starts in. Therefore every day begins with morning, progresses, ends in night, and then begins anew; also every year begins with spring, progresses through summer to autumn, closes in winter, and then begins again; and in order that these changes may take place the sun rises in the east progresses therefrom through the south to the west, and finishes its course in the north, after which it rises again. It is the same with churches; the first, which was the Most Ancient, was like morning, spring, and the east; the second or Ancient church was like day, summer, and the south; the third was like evening, autumn, and the west; and the fourth like night, winter and the north. From these orderly progressions the wise men of ancient times inferred four ages of the world, the first of which they called the golden age, the second the silver age, the third the copper age, and the fourth the iron age, by which metals, moreover, these churches are represented in Nebuchadnezzar's statue. And again, in the Lord's sight the church is seen as a single man, and this larger man must pass through his stages of life like an individual, that is to say, from infancy to youth, from this to manhood, and finally to old age; and then, when he dies, he will rise again. The Lord says: Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth [alone]; but if it die, it beareth much fruit (John 12:24). Arcana Coelestia 8211 [4] Since 'morning' means a state of enlightenment and salvation of the good, and a state of thick darkness and perdition of the evil, 'morning' also means the time of the last judgement, when those governed by good are to be saved and those ruled by evil will perish. It consequently means the end of a former Church and the beginning of a new Church, which are meant by a last judgement in the Word, 900, 931, 1733, 1850, 2117-2133, 3353, 4057, 4535. Apocalypse Explained 680... That "three" signifies what is complete, and thus the end, may be seen above (n. 435, 506, 532). This is evident also from the signification of "coming quickly," as being certainly, at hand, and coming to pass; that "quickly" signifies certainty may be seen also above (n. 7, 216). What this third woe that was to come quickly involves, can be seen from what follows, namely, that it involves the final state of the church, when there is no longer any truth or good, and the state of separation at that time of the evil from the good, and of the good from the evil, and at length the Last Judgement, which is effected by a full separation, and then the casting down of the evil into hell, and the elevation of the good into heaven. AC 2118. By the Last Judgment is meant the last time of a church, and also the last state of each person's life. As regards the last time of the church, it was the Last Judgment of the Most Ancient Church, which was before the flood, when their posterity perished; whose destruction is described by the flood. The Last Judgment of the Ancient Church, which was after the flood, was when almost all who were of that church became idolaters, and were dispersed. The Last Judgment of the Representative Church, which succeeded among the posterity of Jacob, was when the ten tribes were carried away into captivity, and were dispersed among the nations; and when later, after the Lord's coming, the Jews were driven out of the land of Canaan, and were scattered throughout the world. The Last Judgment of the present church, which is called the Christian Church, is what is meant by John in Revelation by the “New Heaven and the New Earth.” From the LP reading on casting into hell and raising into heaven AC 7541[2] It is according to order that one plague should follow another,
In this lecture, Don Carson teaches that Jesus Christ must remain the central focus in interpretations of the Book of Revelation. Carson critiques various scholarly approaches that often marginalize Christ, urging that all aspects of Revelation are inseparable from His death and resurrection. Carson underscores that Revelation presents a grand vision of Christ's mediatorial kingship and priesthood, culminating in the New Heaven and New Earth.He teaches the following:Why Revelation should be read with Jesus at its center, as both the agent and substance of God's revelationHow Revelation highlights Jesus's fulfillment of Old Testament themesHow Revelation 1:12–16 draws from Daniel's vision of the "Ancient of Days”Descriptions of Jesus's authority in Revelation are rooted in the initial vision of His gloryJesus's death and resurrection empower Him to open the seals, unfolding God's purposesJesus's authority brings both judgment and salvation–signified by trumpet judgments and the final judgmentIn the new creation, God will have eternal presence with His people
In this episode of The Other Six Podcast, we wrap up our journey through the Gospel of Mark by tackling what Jesus meant when He said the Kingdom of God is “here,” to the difference between its inauguration and consummation, to the reality of spiritual warfare today—we unpack the truths that shape our faith. We explore the Rich Young Man's encounter with Jesus, the Last Supper's covenant-shaking meaning, the resurrection perspective that changes how we face life and death, and God's sweeping plan for redemption that leads to the New Heaven and New Earth. If you've ever wondered how the Gospel of Mark connects to the big picture of God's Kingdom and your everyday life, this conversation will help you see it.
This Sunday we will examine Revelation 21:1-8. Let's delve into this powerful vision of hope and renewal through the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, where sorrow, pain, and fear give way to divine love and new beginnings.
What are the new heaven and the new earth? What will heaven be like for believers? Will the New Jerusalem be a giant cube?

JOHN FORESAW a day in the distant future when God would make all things new.He heard a voice from the throne of God saying, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”This week, we summarize the final two chapters of Revelation and John's vision of the world that is to come. The new Jerusalem, a massive city about 1,380 miles on a side (roughly the distance from New York City to Dallas), descends from heaven and puts an end to the need for sun and moon, for God Himself will be its light.And with our 300th episode, we wind down the six-year run of Unraveling Revelation. There is certainly more to explore in Bible prophecy, but due to recent health challenges we need to cut back on our work commitments and allow ourselves more time to rest.We invite you to follow our weekly program The Bible's Greatest Mysteries, where we will continue to dig deeply into the Word of God.

In the final episode of the series on heaven, Greg and Cory explore the eschaton—the ultimate end of God's plan, where Christ returns to renew creation as the New Heaven and New Earth. They unpack the biblical parallelism between Genesis 1-2 and Revelation 21-22, where God restores communion between Himself, humanity, and creation, fulfilling our deepest longings for belonging. Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and saints like Irenaeus and Teresa of Avila, they emphasize that our destiny isn't a disembodied heaven but a redeemed creation where we live bodily with God forever. The sacraments, especially the Eucharist, offer a foretaste of this reality, making Catholicism's physicality a compelling draw. Greg also references a prior standalone episode, Will We See Our Dogs in Heaven? (#319), for those curious about pets in the afterlife. Join them for a profound, hopeful vision of eternity that transcends clichés and anchors our faith in God's redemptive love. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

In this lecture, Don Carson unpacks the rich symbolism of Revelation 21–22, highlighting the Lamb's victorious role in bringing about the New Heaven and New Earth where God dwells fully with His people. Carson emphasizes that this final consummation, secured by Christ's sacrifice, fulfills God's promises and transforms all creation into a place of eternal life, healing, and glory. Carson ties this vision to the gospel, showing how it secures both judgment and blessing, and calls believers to set their hearts on eternal treasures.He teaches the following:The significance of the throne room in Revelation 4 and the scroll with seven seals in Revelation 5The Lamb's victory establishes judgment and blessing for the entire universeThe progression of covenant language from the Old Testament to the New TestamentThe beatific vision is to see God's face and experience eternal lifeThe importance of the Lamb's sacrifice in the transformation of all thingsHow the New Jerusalem represents the unity of God's people and the presence of GodThe River of Life and the Tree of Life symbolize eternal life and healing for the nationsThe importance of the gospel in securing transformation and the ultimate vision of God's glory

What will happen to humanity and the entire universe at the end of time? Fr. Mike shares with us the joyous hope of the new heaven and the new earth that awaits us after the Last Judgment. We learn that “at the end of time, the Kingdom of God will come in its fullness,” and all of creation will be redeemed and renewed. There will be no more weeping, mourning, nor pain, for death shall be no more. Fr. Mike invites us to hold on to this hope as we struggle on this side of heaven and await this great promise.

The Lord will someday bring about a New Heaven and a New Earth. What will it be like?
My special guests are Paul Begely and Troy Anderson here to discuss their new book Revelation 911. Get it now on Amazon. About the book: riveting account of current events as foretold in the mysterious Book of Revelation. Are we teetering on the edge of the end of time? Look at the daily news and you'll see stories about plague, famine, unexplained deaths, artificial intelligence, looming nuclear war, inflation, transhumanism, wokeness, cancel culture, gender identity crises, and mass shootings. Is this the end of the world? Or are these just precursors to the end of the world? To answer that question, biblical prophecy expert Paul Begley and former investigative journalist Troy Anderson team up to compare today's headlines with the events foretold in the book of Revelation. Their findings? Not only are signs of the end times accelerating dramatically, but a catastrophic economic collapse and global conflagration could be the next major events on the prophetic timeline before the rise of the Antichrist, the emergence of the False Prophet, and the installation of the “mark of the beast” economic system. They also explore evidence linking the popular transhumanist movement, artificial intelligence, and top-secret government and military programs with prophecies of the last days. Revelation 911 offers hope and comfort through the power, protection, and provision of the Holy Spirit. Many believe these cataclysmic shakings will be accompanied by the greatest awakening in history as the world races toward the return of Jesus Christ, who will defeat the powers of darkness at the Battle of Armageddon and usher believers into an eternity of unimaginable wonders in the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem.

(Revelation 22:20-21) Come with us to the last page of the Bible. This is how it all ends. Prophecy leads us beyond earth to a new heaven and new earth, beyond time to eternity. (0973250324) ----more---- The End of the World There's nothing quite as exciting as coming to the end of a book and seeing how it all ends. How the pieces all come together, how the story concludes the victory of the end. The same thing is true in scripture. When you come to the end of the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, you discover how it's all going to end. The Return of Christ and the Rapture And we know the next thing on God's agenda is the return of Christ in the air, the rapture of the church that sets in motion the tribulation period here on Earth. And while we're in heaven, we'll have the judgment seat of Christ and the marriage supper of the lamb. What a great celebration that will be, but that's not the end of it all. No, immediately after that, the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back to this planet. That's right. He's coming back to this earth and we are coming with Him. Listen to the words of Revelation 20:1, "1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up..." Won't that be a good day when the devil gets shut up? "...and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." Did you catch the little expression there, "a thousand years,"? In fact, that expression, "a thousand years" is used six times in Revelation 20:1-10. The Millennial Reign of Christ It is commonly referred to in prophetic language as the millennium of the millennial reign of Christ. It's a reference to the thousand-year visible earthly reign of the Lord Jesus on this earth that follows the great tribulation. He returns from heaven. We come with him. He sets up his throne to rule and reign on this earth. If you read through Revelation 20, there's an amazing description of all that takes place during this time, or at least everything that God wants us to know at this point. And some people have questioned, do you really think that's gonna happen? Oh, yes, I do. Because when the Lord Jesus sets up his kingdom and rules and reigns here on the earth, then he is gonna have the opportunity to completely fulfill his unconditional covenant covenants that he made with the nation of Israel. He's going to free this world from the curse of sin. Think of that and reward the faithfulness of saints. I had a Bible teacher years ago that used to ask this question. He said, "Are you getting ready to rule?" According to scripture in the millennial kingdom, the saints are awarded positions of authority based on their faithfulness in this life. We're allowed to rule and reign with Christ. So let me ask you, "Are you getting ready to rule once and for all?" The Lord Jesus is going to rule and reign on this earth for that thousand year period, it's gonna be the most wonderful time. If the tribulation is the most awful time in world history, this is gonna be the most wonderful time this world has ever known. According to scripture, people are going to enjoy increased lifespans. Isaiah 65 tells us that. Isaiah 65 also tells us that the nature of animals will even be radically changed. The lion will lay down with the lamb. Somebody says that's not natural. No. That's what happens when the Lord brings peace. All of nature will be fruitful as it's never been before in this cursed world. Isaiah 35 tells us about that and the head of the government, who will that be? That's gonna be the King. The King of kings, the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be truly a theocracy. God's going to prove once and for all that only he is able to perfectly govern this earth. We believe according to the book of Isaiah, that he's gonna rule and reign from his throne in Jerusalem. It is the spiritual center of the whole Earth. Zechariah 8 tells us that, and we believe that God is going to rule and reign during that period. Satan's Final Revolt and Judgment Now you'll notice when I read you from Revelation 20, the Bible says, "After that, Satan will be loosed for a little season." Can you imagine that? After a thousand years of perfect peace and harmony and the Lord's ruling reign, the devil's gonna be released for a short period of time and is gonna attempt one last revolt as described for us in Revelation 20:7-9, "7And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them." It's not really much of a battle. God's just gonna breathe fire from heaven and consume all of them. Once and for all. Satan is gonna meet his final judgment and be cast into the lake of fire forever. And all who follow him will be cast into the lake of fire forever. It's at that moment that God will bring the final judgment into this world that moment, the heavens and the earth are gonna be destroyed by fire. Revelation 20:11 tells us that everything is going to be gone, it's going to be consumed. Peter describes it also in 2nd Peter 3. Then there's going to be a resurrection and a judgment known as the great white throne. God is going to once and for all judge all of the unsaved dead. Those who've rejected him from all time are going to stand before God. They're going to be judged by holy God, and they're gonna be cast into the lake of fire forever with the devil. What a sad day that's going to be, but my friend, that's not the end. Here's how it's all gonna end. The New Heaven and New Earth Once all of that is concluded and final judgment has come, God is going to create a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21, that's the next chapter. Verse 1 begins like this, "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." God's going to create a new heaven, a new Earth, and a new Jerusalem. In fact, he goes on in Revelation chapter 22 to tell us He's going to make all things new. Listen to that expression. All things will be made new. We're going into eternity with the creator, God of the universe and the savior of our soul. And to borrow a phrase from scripture, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. That is how it's all going to end. Where Will You Be At the End of Time? Now, my question to you is this, how's it going to end for you? If you're not a believer, your end is final judgment and hell separated from God forever. I wanna plead with you today, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. Look to Jesus in simple faith now and receive Him as your Savior. And if you're a Christian, if you've believed on the Lord Jesus, you can take this by faith as God's promise to you, that it's not gonna end in defeat. It's gonna end in victory. It's not going to end with the devil. It's gonna end with the Lord. It's not going to end with earth. It's gonna end with eternity. I. It's going to end with us being with God forever. Years ago, I heard the story of a mother who asked her son to do some chore, and he was reading a book and kept putting it off and putting it off. And finally she said, "Son, lay the book down and do what I've told you to do." And just a moment, he came to the house grinning from ear to ear, and she said, "Why are you smiling?" And he said, "I found out how the story ends." And she said, "You read it all?" And he said, "No, but I flipped to the end of the book. And I found out who wins in the end." Can I tell you? You may not understand all of the details, but if you go to the end of the book, read the last page of scripture, Revelation 22, I'll tell you how it ends. The Lord is victorious. He is the conqueror, and we win with Him. Let's end what the Bible says about the end time with the last words of the Bible. "20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Outro and Resources Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough.
