Revelation 21:1-4
Michael Youssef wrote, ''In the Book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus gives John a vision of Heaven. It's a vision of comfort and encouragement for everyone who is burdened by the sufferings of this life. Today, there is very little preaching on Heaven. Most of it is focused on the problems and blessings of this life, and how to get the most out of it. How different are those priorities from the priorities of God's Word?

For quality there is in heaven joy and pleasures; for quantity, a fullness . . . it is a constant happiness without intermission: and for perpetuity it is for evermore. Heaven's joys are without measure, mixture, or end.''

PEACEFUL :1 God will create a new heaven and a new earth to replace the world he first created which has been marred by the consequences of sin. This will be the fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 65:17. See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
