A New Heaven and a New Earth

Isaiah 65:20-25
20 "Never again will there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;
he who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere youth;
he who fails to reach [a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.

21 They will build houses and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,
so will be the days of my people;
my chosen ones will long enjoy
the works of their hands.

23 They will not toil in vain
or bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by the LORD,
they and their descendants with them.

24 Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox,
but dust will be the serpent's food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,"
says the LORD.


While reading this passage, I realize how corrupted and perishable the world is. There are so many things that bring death and (opposite of peace) to the world. We live in a sinful world that is imperfect, but here, God shows His plans for a world in how it was suppose to be. This place of the New Heaven and a New Earth.

I want to give God the glory for all that has happened and all that is to come. It is our vision as Christians to wait for the time of God's world. His glory is present in it. Let peace and God's glory reign in this New World.

Dear Heavenly Father, your plans for a unity and peace of a greater world is so astonishing. A better world without sin leads the people to glorify your name. I pray for that to come, as you are God and you reign. Let us give you all the glory and praise in Jesus name.
Amen.
