The Brightness of the Firmament

The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.
(Daniel 12:3) Good News Translation

Then God’s people will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!
(Matthew 13:43) Good News Translation

The creation of gravity and formation of the firmament was to establish a place, heaven, where God would dwell in perpetual light because the firmament is bright like the sun, as we see from Daniel.

God’s Rightful Place

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. 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 21:1-2) KJV

During the month of December our devotion is going to be a study of heaven, which is to say, the next life. We’re going to see if we can clear up some misconceptions about what comes next.

New Heavens and a New Earth

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
(Isaiah 65:17) KJV

The Millennial Kingdom is what the Old Testament prophets referred to as “a new heavens and a new earth,” but it’s not the new heavens and new earth that John describes in Revelation chapters 21-22.
