Revelation 21 describes the eternal state in which God creates a new heaven and new earth, with the new Jerusalem descending from heaven to the earth as a holy, radiant city where God will dwell with His people. It emphasizes that the first heaven and earth will pass away, the curse of sin will be removed, and the new creation will be free from death, sorrow, and suffering. The new Jerusalem is pictured as a bride adorned for her Husband and will be inhabited by the redeemed, who will live in God’s immediate presence. In this lesson, we also learn how many of the things that are true for Israel on the earth in the eternal state will be true for the Church, the Body of Christ, in heaven forever as well.
