No More Death

"He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces." Isaiah 25:8
"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 21:4

Isn't it great that God never changes!! What He said to Isaiah in the late 700's BC, He said again to the apostle John around 95 AD.

This is one of those promises I really look forward to. I can hardly wait nor can I hardly imagine. The new Jerusalem, the new earth with Christ as Lord and King and everything is perfect just like it was in the beginning when God first created it all. And it will be so for eternity...which is another thing I just can't wrap my mind around.

Life now is so short. Death assails us on all sides whether from old age or disasters or illness. We suffer and hurt and weep for ourselves and those we love and those unsuspecting caught by the consequences of a sinful world. But one day...ONE DAY...everything will be made new. Everything will be made right. And God Himself will wipe the tears from our eyes. What a glorious day that will be.

"Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle! Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory!" Psalm 24:7-10
