THIS BEAUTIFUL GREEN GLOBE IS WHAT OUR PLANET EARTH WILL LOOK LIKE IN JUST OVER 1,000 YEARS FROM NOW! It is so changed, so different from the World that we live in today, that it will be known then as the "New Earth!"
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED ABOUT THIS NEW EARTH is that the great land masses known as continents cannot be seen!--This is because the oceans & seas that surround & define their shores & coasts have been removed! Today's seas cover over 70% of the Earth's surface, but in that day, they shall be no more, & all nations will be joined together into one great united Continent!
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT THERE ARE NO GREAT MOUNTAIN RANGES on this New Earth! All of the steep uninhabitable mountains are gone! Today, the mountains, high plateaus & valleys in-between make up 17% of the Earth's surface.--But on the New Earth, the entire surface will be leveled except for the smooth & gently rolling hills!
THE GREAT ARID & BARREN DESERT AREAS THAT NOW MAKE UP ONE-THIRD OF THE EARTH'S LAND MASS WILL ALSO BE NO MORE! All such desolate places will be fertile, well-watered fields, forests, farms & gardens! The entire Earth will be beautifully green & growing! The dry & scorching heat of today's deserts will be replaced by a lovely, balmy, temperate climate, ideal for man's comfort & the growth of his crops!--Even the wastelands of today's cold & frozen Polar regions will be warm & sunny, fertile & fruitful!
THESE DRAMATIC CHANGES IN OUR EARTH'S SURFACE WILL CREATE OVER FIVE TIMES AS MUCH HABITABLE LAND for the billions of people who will be living on it! The entire Earth will be a virtual Paradise of beautiful rolling landscape, fields & forests, lakes & streams, completely free from any of man's filthy cities, industries, chemical plants, weapons or pollution!
ALL OF CREATION WILL HAVE UNDERGONE A REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION! The so-called "natural disasters" that plague the World's people today will occur no more! Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, violent storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc. will be things of the past!
THE EARTH WILL NO LONGER BRING FORTH THORNS, thistles, weeds or poisonous plants!--But fruits, vegetables & grains will grow easily & abundantly! All formerly wild & dangerous beasts such as lions, tigers, bears & wolves will be docile & tame--the friends of man & pets of his children! All bothersome mosquitoes, flies & other insect pests, spiders, scorpions, infectious worms & parasites will be completely eliminated!
THAT GIGANTIC GLOWING GOLDEN PYRAMID STANDING ON THE NEW EARTH is the largest, most amazing structure that the World has ever seen! Composed of a now-unknown-to-man crystal-gold material, the entire structure radiates with a beautiful warm glow that can be seen for thousands of miles by the inhabitants of the New Earth!
THIS PYRAMIDICAL WONDER REACHES 1,500 MILES, OR 2,400 KILOMETERS HIGH INTO SPACE! That is 275 times higher than the present Earth's tallest mountain, Mount Everest! Its square base is 1,500 miles long by 1,500 miles wide, covering a total area of 2-1/4 million square miles, or 5,760,000 square kilometers! Within this beautiful golden Super-Structure will live the powerful rulers of the New Earth!--In fact, it is the great King of this incredible City of gold that brought about the miraculous changes on the Earth!
FOR THIS GREAT PYRAMID-CITY & ITS INHABITANTS ARE NOT OF EARTHLY ORIGIN, but are from a far more advanced & powerful Kingdom than the kingdom of Men!--For this City is the Capital of the King of Kings & Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, Creator & Master of the entire Universe!--And this marvelous 1,500-mile-high Pyramid is His Heavenly Space City, which is already built & is floating through distant Space on its way to our planet right now!
THE APOSTLE JOHN WAS GIVEN A LOOK AT THIS WONDERFUL NEW EARTH & HEAVENLY CITY almost 2,000 years ago when God lifted him up in the Spirit & revealed to him the Future!--In the Bible's Book of Revelation, he wrote:
"AND I SAW A NEW EARTH, FOR THE FIRST EARTH WAS PASSED AWAY; & THERE WAS NO MORE SEA! And I, John, saw the Heavenly City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God, out of Space!--And I heard a great voice saying, 'Behold, the City of God is with men, & He will dwell with them!'" (Rev.21:1-3) The God Who created this wonderful Earth & the beautiful Universe in which we live has created a real & wonderful Place for all of His children to live with Him forever!--His crystal-gold Heavenly City which we've drawn precisely to scale according to the detailed measurements & descriptions of it given in the Bible! (Rev.21 & 22)
BUT JUST BEFORE THIS GREAT SPACE CITY LANDS, God is going to completely purge & purify the entire surface of the Earth with a great flood of fire!--"In which the atmosphere shall pass away with a great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & the surface of the Earth shall be burned up!" (2Pet.3:10)
"EVERY VALLEY SHALL BE EXALTED, & EVERY MOUNTAIN SHALL BE MADE LOW; & the crooked shall be made straight, & the rough places plain!" (Isa.40:4) The surface of the Earth will be re-created into a beautiful "New Earth", like the Garden of Eden! "And there shall be no more Curse!" (Rev.22:3)--The Curse that came upon the Earth when Man fell into sin will be completely removed, & all of the cursed & poisonous plants & pests of today shall be no more!--And all of rebellious man's foul & polluting toxic wastes, chemicals, radioactive debris & garbage will be utterly burned up & gotten rid of once & for all! Thank God!
INSIDE THE WONDERFUL GOLDEN CITY THAT WILL SETTLE DOWN ON THE BEAUTIFUL NEW EARTH'S RECREATED SURFACE, all of God's saved Saints will live with Him forever! They will all have supernatural, powerful, Heavenly super-bodies which they will receive very soon when Jesus Christ returns to rescue all of those who love & believe in Him from the evil forces which are now taking over the World & will soon be ruling it with their Antichrist One-World Government! (Mt.24:29-31; 1Th.4:16,17; Rev.13; Rev.14)
OUTSIDE THE CITY ON THE BEAUTIFUL NEW EARTH, THERE WILL BE WHOLE NATIONS OF OTHER RESURRECTED PEOPLE whose bodies will probably be a little more like the bodies that we have now. (Rev.21:24-26; 22:2) These folks outside won't live in the City yet because they didn't receive God's Son, Jesus.--Perhaps because they never heard or fully understood the Gospel. But there on the New Earth they will learn to know & love Him at last!
BUT WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LIVE A NATURAL LIFE OUTSIDE ON THE NEW EARTH when they could live a supernatural life inside the great Heavenly City itself?--Enjoying it & all of its marvels & pleasures in their resurrection super-bodies! To become a resident of God's Heavenly City, all you have to do is receive God's Love & Salvation by asking His Son Jesus into your heart!
YOU CAN RECEIVE JESUS RIGHT NOW BY SIMPLY PRAYING THIS LITTLE PRAYER: "Dear Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God & that You died for me. Please forgive me for all of my sins. I now open the door of my heart & I ask You, dear Jesus, to please come in & give me Your free Gift of Eternal Life! Help me to love You & to love others by telling them about You & Your Love.--In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
GOD BLESS YOU WITH HIS LOVE HERE & NOW & A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH HIM FOREVER IN HIS BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY CITY!
