Former Things Have Passed Away

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 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.”
(Revelation 21:3-4) ESV

God comes down from heaven to dwell with humanity, but not on Earth because it’s gone. God takes up residence on the site of the original singularity, created on the second day, the original foundation of the Earth.

Earth Shock

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
(Isaiah 1:7-9) KJV

Popular science (SciPop) wants you to believe in an extraterrestrial impact when a meteor hit the Earth. Amos saw it coming. Uzziah tried to stop it. Isaiah began his prophetic ministry standing in its smoking ruins.

Gehenna

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
(Mark 9:43-44) KJV

Jesus tells us that the punishment for sin is burning in hell, a fire like in Hinnom. However, hell hasn’t been replaced by burning trash in Hinnom. Hell is expanding, it’s the cause of global warming.

Gamaliel’s Counsel

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
(Acts 5:38-39) KJV

Today we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) are going to review some different forms of evidence for the existence of God with emphasis on one in particular: Gamaliel’s Counsel, Hypothesis 12.

Flat Earth isn’t Biblical

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(Colossians 2:8) KJV

Any Biblically accurate model of Earth must have a spherical Earth is at the center of a spherical cosmos, and the cosmos is enclosed within a rigid sphere of layered crystal called the firmament.

A Pure River of Water of Life

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
(Revelation 22:1-2) ESV

We live in a universe governed by physical laws. One of them is the first law of thermodynamics which says that energy can’t be created or destroyed, just transformed from one form to another.

All Manner of Precious Stones

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.
(Revelation 21:19) KJV

And the foundations of the wall of the city were layers of crystalline material arranged in order.
(Revelation 21:19) Paraphrased

Meaning comes from context. For example the phrase “were garnished” in Revelation 21:19. One meaning could be: the wall of the city had foundations, and the foundations had been decorated with precious stones.

Perspective

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
(1 Corinthians 1:25) KJV

Let’s take stock of our surroundings and gather our perspective. The word perspective doesn’t occur in the King James Bible. The idea, point of view, does. We refer to it as frame of reference.

Coming Down Out of Heaven

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(Revelation 21:2) KJV

When the new Jerusalem comes down from God out of heaven, the Earth will be gone. What does the new Jerusalem come down to? What can we deduce about the new Earth of Revelation 21?

No Night There

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
(Revelation 21:23-25) KJV

Life is temporary. What comes next? God’s given us a description of what comes next and the choice of whether or not to believe it. We acknowledge belief in God’s testimony by accepting Jesus Christ as our savior.
