Revelation 20:11-15

(Revelation 20:11-15) 『 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.   And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 』   Baptism means that the old man dies in water and is reborn by the Holy Spirit. In Romans 6:3-4, ``Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by bapt...

Revelation 21:1-5

(Revelation 21:1-5) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.   And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.   Regarding the new heaven and the new earth, many church people simply think that this world in which humans live after the creation of the heavens and earth has been polluted and...

Revelation 21:6-7

(Revelation 21:6-7)   『 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 』   Heaven is where the water of life flows. There are two places where humans die. It is heaven and hell. The place that lights up the darkness is the fire of hell. In heaven, there is light, not fire. What the light shines on is the water of life. God gives the water of life to those who are thirsty. God gives it to those who overcome. In the book of Revelation, salvation is the overcomer. The key to salvation is not to be forgiven of sins, but to overcome them. However, many church people today sin, confess, and sin. The flesh cannot overcome sin. All those who love the world are those who are in the flesh. Only those who are in the spirit can overcome sin. To those who overcome, God will sa...

Revelation 21:8

(Revelation 21:8) 『 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 』   The Lord is righteous enough to make heaven and hell. Why do you distinguish between heaven and hell? Because it is righteous. Those who dwell in the new heavens and the new earth dwell in righteousness, so the Bible says, "Seek first his kingdom and righteousness." However, many churches today are seeking the Lord's kingdom and love. In the parable of the prodigal son, it is the father of love, but the son is prodigal enough to abandon the father of love. Humans are not turned away because of the God of love, but when the God of righteousness is revealed, they realize that they have been deceived by Satan, begin to repent, and turn to the Lord. The first group to send to this hell are those who fear and those wh...

Revelation 21:9-27

(Revelation 21:9-27) And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.   And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,   Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;   And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:   On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.   And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates there...

Revelation 22:1-21

(Revelation 22:1-21) And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. ...
