Ref. DLG 2 : New Heaven And A New Earth

 

'' Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. '' 2 Peter 3:13

The new heavens and the new earth signifies a new world that God will provide , for the souls . The '' new heavens '' here refers to the sky or firmament as the book of Genesis 1:8 explains '' And called the heavens firmament '' The present heaven and earth will melt and dissolve away by the fire of destruction at the end of the world .'' Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat ? '' 2 Peter 2:12

The world includes living and non-living things will be burnt with the fire of destruction at the judgement day . The plants , the animals , the mountains , the houses , ultra modern buildings, all forms of vehicles shall burn to ashes .'' But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up '' 2 Peter 2 :10

After the destruction of this present world , { earth and sky } , then will appear the new heaven and earth where God dwells with his people .'' And 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.'' Revelation 21:1 Among other things the new heaven and the new earth , has no sea .It is a city that the Lord Jesus has prepared for the saints of God in heaven with mansions for them to dwell forever with the Lord .'' In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.'' John 14:2

There are a lot of impressive houses in heaven , the ones that Jesus himself described as mansions .The new heavens and the new earth is a city of righteousness so there is no evil , no offenses nor sin in the city of heaven .This new heaven and earth is also called '' New Jerusalem '' .'' And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.'' Rev. 21: 2 The new heaven and earth is also a holy city , where God dwells with his children .

 ''And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.'' Rev. 21:3 This new heaven and earth is actually the city of heaven where there is no sin , tears , sorrows, pain, hunger nor death .

'And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.''  Rev. 21:4

Prayer 

lord help me to enter the city of heaven that you have prepared for me in the new Jerusalem .
