Why We Can Trust God - Eschatology-103-His Essential Glory

All things will be brought into submission to Him, and therefore to the Father as well. Then since the old creation has been dealt with perfectly in accordance with the will of the Father, it will be the “time”, to leave time, and to enter into eternity future, with the creation of the new heavens and the new earth. In the new heavens and the new earth there is a huge city called the heavenly Jerusalem which is the dwelling place of the bride of Christ. It is the place our Lord has prepared for His own bride and will reflect His glory. As we look to Him to fulfill His promise we are eagerly awaiting His imminent return. The great beauty of the city itself is nothing in comparison to the fact the God Himself will dwell among His people. The believers who have taken of the water of life are truly those who have overcome by the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here we turn our attention back to the place the our Lord has provided for His own, the holy city, Jerusalem. This Holy City will be on a high mountain in the new earth. Because our Lord has made His bride glorious by His saving and sanctifying her, the place where she will live displays the glory of God Himself and He will dwell among them in all His glory.
