Title: The New Heaven and New Earth (16 of 16)
Series: Revelation
Author: Zach Terry
Text: Revelation 21-22
Well we are at the final portion of our study of the book of Revelation and this final chapter focuses on what theologians call, "the eternal state".
INTRODUCTION: Hebrew stories are told very differently from stories we are accustomed to here in the West. Our stories are told beginning, middle, end. Hebrew stories are told beginning, middle, new beginning.
EXAMPLE: Job - beginning he's a wealthy land owner / rancher. Middle, he looses everything. New beginning, all is restored 2 fold.
The Bible as a whole follows this pattern.
- Beginning - God creates the Heavens and the Earth.
- Middle - Sin infects and spreads, the curse follows and all the things associated with the curse.
- New Beginning - Jesus returns to set up a new Heaven and a new Earth.

So this first section is a Revelation of Jesus as one Greater than Solomon, with a temple not only covering the temple mount, but even all of Asia Minor. KINGS.
- Revelation 4 and 5 - We see Jesus revealed as the Lion of Judah, the root of David. You see chronologically we are moving forward, but in the story of Israel we are moving backward. SAMUEL.
- Revelation 7 - 7 trumpets sound, which is home to a prostitute and the great city falls. Where in the OT do we find trumpets blasting, walls falling and a prostitute living in the midst? This harkens back to Joshua and Jericho. JOSHUA.
