I have heard people say they are not that excited about going to heaven. They don't find bejeweled walls and streets of gold all that exciting or interesting. Some religions and religious people focus on these material things as an incentive to go to heaven. Some religions even talk of material and fleshly pleasures such as a mind state of nirvana or the fleshly excitement of being given virgin brides. No none of that will be what we will be excited about in the New Heaven and New Earth.
Life as a river will be flowing out to all there from the prescence of God. Absolute Love will engulf us with His life giving presence. The tree of life from Eden will be there we will not eat from it, but it's leaves will bring peace and healing, there will be a curse no more, nor will anything accursed ever enter there. All will walk in the eternal light of His Absolute Love. All will be Kings and Queens and there will be no need for conquering or fighting forever and ever.
Rev 22:1-5 "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. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
I feel the need for Thanksgiving and Singing. Let's enter into the Holiday Season!! Preparing for the second advent.
Joy to the World , the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love
Joy to the World Lyrics
The words and lyrics of the old Christmas carol 'Joy to the World' were written in 1719 by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The father of John Watts was a Non-conformist and so extreme were his views that he was imprisoned twice. His father's influence over Isaac was demonstrated when he choose to attend Nonconformist Academy at Stoke Newington in preference to a University. Watts was ordained as a Pastor of an Independent congregation. He wrote many hymns and Carols and was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree by the the University of Edinburgh in 1728. The music to the carol is by George Frederick Handel (1685-1759).
