December 21: An Eternity of Bliss.
A Sinless New Earth.
The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;...Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall lead like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing....And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.--Isaiah 35:1, 5, 6, 10, NKJV
IN THE BIBLE the inheritance of the saved is called "a country." Hebrews 11:14-16. There the heavenly Shepherd leads His flock to fountains of living waters. The tree of life yields its fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations. There are ever-flowing streams, clear as crystal, and beside them waving trees cast their shadows upon the paths prepared for the ransomed of the Lord. There the wide-spreading plains swell into hills of beauty, and the mountains of God rear their lofty summits. On those peaceful plains, beside those living streams, God's people, so long pilgrims and wanderers, shall find a home.--The Great Controversy, 675.
"Look, God's home is now among his people!
He will live with them, and they will be his people.
God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.
All these things are gone forever."
--Revelation 21:3, 4, NLT
