“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away” (Rev 21:1).
As I wrote in yesterday’s post, “Revelation shows an ancient vision of an ancient understanding of an eternal reality beyond/behind the one we most tangibly experience.” Despite the gaps of time and culture between us and the last book of the Bible, we can rejoice in a belief that God will ultimately bring universal renewal. Sadness and sickness and death and divisiveness and all evil will vanish.
That is God’s mission. That is our mission. God is accomplishing it; we get to participate in it.
(Day 363: Revelation 20-21)
