Revelation 21
THE HOME OF THE REDEEMED
Scripture Reading: Revelation 21.
Memory Verse: Revelation 21:27.
1. Where will the future home of the saved be located? Matt. 5.5; Prov. 10:30; Rev. 5:9,10.
Note: The Lord Jesus told His disciples to pray for the Kingdom to come that the will of the Father might be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10) This earth was not created to be populated always with greedy selfish, covetous men and women, war-mongers, and every sort of sinners. The Creator has power to bring about this pending change, and it is now very near. Although it will require a terrible destruction of lives and property to cleanse the world of sin and sinners, it is sure to come and this time by fire instead of by water as in the days of Noah.
2. Who will be king over all the earth during the period of restitution, or the restoring of the world back to its Eden condition? Rev. 11:15; Isa. 24:23; Psa. 110:1-6.
3. What did Jesus say about the preparation for the redeemed, and His Father’s house? John 14:1-3.
Note: Jesus did not say He would send for the redeemed ones to come to where He was going. But He said, "I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." We are told in many places that when He comes, He will be King and will reign on the earth. The kingdoms of this world will become His. He was born for this purpose. Isaiah 9:6,7.
4. What will happen to the righteous to give them eternal life? 1 Corinthians 15:51-53.
5. What present means will life and health be imparted to the redeemed? Revelation 22:2.
6. Will we be re-united with our loved ones? Jer. 31:16,17.
7. Will our bodies be changed and become the same as the spiritual body of Christ? Philippians 3:20,21.
Note: After Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and therefore possessed this immortal never dying body; He walked with His apostles to the city of Emmaus eight miles northwest of Jerusalem. He also ate with them, but their eyes were holden so they would not recognize Him while walking in the way. Therefore, He looked the same as before, and it was necessary for the eyes of His friends to be changed, because He appeared as before. Then later they recognized Him. (Luke 24:28-31). As our bodies are to be changed and become like unto His glorious body, we will also look the same as we do now, and will know our loved ones, and they will know us.
