Heaven: Genesis and Revelation
by Jason on Apr.30, 2010, under Uncategorized
Had some people asked to share this from my sermon a few weeks ago about heaven…so here it is…
So what is heaven going to be like?
I don’t think you have to go further than then Garden of Eden to find out.
If you lay the first couple chapters of your Bible next to the last couple chapters of your Bible…look at what you find…
Genesis Revelation
God made Heaven and Earth (1:1) New Heaven New Earth (21:1)
God made light (1:3) God gives light (22:5)
Two great lights (1:16) The light of God and the Lamb (21:23)
It was very good (1:31) There is nothing impure (21:27)
Tree of Life (2:9) Tree of Life (22:2)
A river (2:10) Crystal clear river (22:1-2)
Gold in the land (2:11-12) Pure Gold (21:18, 21)
God was there (3:8) God is there (21:3)
The story of God is the story of Paradise lost and Paradise restored again.
Again check out the contrast…
Genesis Revelation
Serpent deceived them (3:13) Devil cast into lake of Fire (20:10)
Forced to hide from God (3:8) See Gods face (22:4)
God increases pain (3:16) no more pain (21:4)
Cursed is the Ground (3:17) no more curse (22:3)
Death enters (3:19) Death exits (21:4)
Keep from tree of Life (3:24) Access to tree of life restored (22:13)
