Revelation 21: 1-8
Then I saw a new Heaven and Earth, the original Heaven and Earth had died and the sea is now gone. There was the New Jerusalem coming out of Heaven from God and it looked like a bride ready to meet her husband. And then there was a voice coming from the throne that said this is the place where God walks among man. God will be able to, once again, walk and be among His own creations and they walk among Him. God will be with His people as their God. God will be able to wipe away the tears of all and death will cease to exist. There shall be no more suffering or mourning or crying or hurting; for all of these things are now dead as God walks among us. Then the voice from the throne said that He was making everything new.

This message is that God is going to come back for the Judgement Day and He will separate those who believe in Him and those who do not. Those who believe in Him shall be able to join Him in a new world. This world takes what God had originally wanted, which was a heaven on Earth e.g. Garden of Eden, and recreate that now that our sin is gone and washed away by the blood of His Son. God will be able to walk amongst His people and reign as God, as it was meant to be ‘In the

    As stated earlier, E.M Cook was one of the scholars that contributed to the “son of God” debate and argued that the “son” was a negative figure. Cook offered the most comprehensive defense to the negative interpretation in his article, “4Q246”. Cook states “the Akkadian prophecies provide the most convincing background for 4Q246” and he argues for a direct relationship with these scrolls . The Akkadian prophecies introduced by Cook are a compilation of five works that date from the twelfth-century B.C.E to the Seleucid period . In Cooks article, he highlights twelve traits that Aramaic and Akkadian texts exhibit in common; however, on further examination, Collins reveal that they are not as impressive as they initially seem .…

    Wright, in his book Simply Christian: Why Christianity Exists, argues that God has no intention of “abandoning this world”, instead God has a glorious “rescue operation” planned, raising “all His people to new bodily life to live in it”. (Wright 58) God has begun this magnificent rescue operation utilizing Israel, the Church, and Jesus to complete his plan. Through these three, Wright believes that God intends for the “kingdom of the world to become kingdom of God” in which “the beauty of this world will be enfolded in the beauty of God”, and thus, only completing his rescue operation “when the present world is rescued, healed, restored, and completed.” (Wright 78) Israel, a nation with a history of rebellion, turmoil, and pain, is ultimately…

    Luke 7:4-5 – 4When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy of having you do this for him, 5for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.” Continuing this image, Luke 7:4-5 depicts the way the Jewish elders view and describe the centurion. First it is written that, on behalf of the centurion, the elders appealed to Jesus earnestly (Lk 7:4). They do not recommend the centurion begrudgingly, but willingly and with the intent that his request actually be fulfilled. The elders then say to Jesus that the centurion is worthy of this thing being done for him (Lk 7:4).…

Although, God does not reveal Himself in such grand fashion today, the evidence for His existence can be found everywhere through general revelation. General revelation, is defined as God’s way of revealing…

An enemy of His has written: ‘We search in vain through the pages of profane history for a parallel to the struggle in which for thirteen years the Prophet of Arabia, in face of discouragement and threats, rejection and persecution, retained thus his faith unwavering, preached repentance . . . he met insults, menace, and danger with a lofty and patient…
