Dwell: New Heavens and New Earth

The story arc of Scripture tells of God’s desire to dwell with His people, to walk among them, to be our God and for us to be His people. And each act in the story has left us longing for more, from the Garden to the Tabernacle to the Incarnation and even to the Indwelling Holy Spirit. In the final act, in the consummation of God’s plan, the vision given to John and recorded in the Book of Revelation gives us several images that give us the hope that each of those longings will be perfectly satisfied when God makes His eternal dwelling with us. (Revelation 21.1-7) December 31, 2023
