The New Heaven and Earth
Read Revelations chapters 21-22
Was it always God's intention to make a New Heaven and a New Earth?
Yes.
How is the New Heaven and Earth similar to the Garden of Eden?
There is a Tree of Life and a river.
What happens to the Old Heaven and Earth?
It passes away.
What happens at the end of Christ's Millennial reign?
Satan is released for a brief time and will wage a final battle against God's people on earth. But fire will come down from heaven and devour them. Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire.
What happens to the Devil and his angels?
They are thrown into the lake of fire which is the second death.
What happens to death?
It also is destroyed in the lake of fire.
What happens to the wicked and the unrighteous at the Great White Throne, whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life?
They will be thrown into the lake of fire and will suffer eternal punishment.
Who is the Bride mentioned in Revelation 21:2?
God's chosen people.
Is she related to the Women in Revelation 12:1-17?
Yes.
When does the marriage of the Lamb and the Bride take place?
I am not sure, it seems to be before the defeat of the antichrist after the believers are called up to be with Christ in the air.
What will it be like in Heaven?
God will dwell with men and live with them. His glory will provide a continuous source of light and there will be no need for a moon or a sun. The old heaven and earth will pass away and the new heaven and earth will have no sea. God will wipe away every tear and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
Where will God be?
God will dwell with men and live with them. There will be no sun or moon because the glory of God will be their light. There will be no temple because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
What are the nations mentioned in Revelations chapter 22?
In the New Heaven and Earth, I think there will be no distinction between the Jews and the Gentiles, we will all be with God and walk in his light and have access to the tree of life and the river of life for ever.
It may be that the New Jerusalem will be comprised of all God's people. And the surrounding nations will be the 'sheep' who helped god's people during the great tribulation.
