My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 21:27

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 21:27

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation 21

God’s Glory will be Present

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. Rev. 21:27

no wise enter... This Scripture just means that this is a holy city (a place of true worship). There will be no evil of any kind in it.

but they which... Proving that all the nations of the New Earth will have their names written in the book of life and be saved (Rev. 21:24-27). The residents are the redeemed, those washed in the blood of the lamb. Those who have been made righteous in Christ.

Once again, we are confronted with the significance of having our names written in the Lamb's book of life assuring us that Christ knows each believer personally, by name (see Rev. 3:5.

What a wonder this will be, to continually see God's face (Rev. 22:4), and to walk in the light of His presence (Rev 21:23; 22:5). No wonder John tells us there is no temple in heaven (Rev. 21:22), for as Paul wrote, "who hopes for what one already has" (Romans 8:24). What need could you have for a temple when everywhere you go is God? But a temple is not the only thing missing in heaven. What else does it lack?

Consider the following short list:

(1) No more sea (21:1);

(2) No more tears, death, sorrow, crying or pain (21:4);

(3) No more sinners (21:8);

(4) No more fear (21:12);

(5) No more sun or moon (21:23);

(6) No more night (21:25);

(7) No more sin or evil (21:27);

(8) No more disease or injuries (22:2);

(9) No more curse (22:3).

It would be enough to call this place "heaven" just from that list of what it lacks. But that wouldn't tell half of the story! Now consider some of the remarkable features eternity will boast:

(1) Unending fellowship with God (Revelation 21:3, 7, 22);

(2) Unending newness (Revelation 21:5);

(3) Unending water of life (Revelation 21:6; 22.1);

(4) Unimaginable beauty (21:11, 21);

(5) Uncompromising security (Revelation 21:12);

(6) Unbroken unity between believers (21:12, 14);

(7) Unlimited holiness (21:16);

(8) Unparalleled size (21:16);

(9) Untold wealth (21:18-21);

(10) Unending light (21:23; 22:5);

(11) Unrestricted access (21:25);

(12) Unending fruit from the tree of life (22:2);

(13) Unceasing service to God (22:3);

(14) Unending reign (22:5).

Beyond these thrilling descriptions from the book of Revelation, we know from other Bible texts that heaven will be a place of:

(1) Rest (Heb. 4:1-11; Rev 14:13);

(2) Full knowledge (1 Cor. 13:12);

(3) Holiness (Heb. 12:14; Eph. 2:21);

(4) Joy (1 Thess. 2:19; Jude 1:24);

(5) Glory (2 Cor. 4:17);

(6) Worship (Rev. 7:9-12; 19:10).

With all that heaven and eternity have to offer, it is hard to see why anyone would deliberately choose to miss it.

Yet many will, according to (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:11, 15). Make sure you're not one of them!

The nations of natural men on earth who will still be divided into nations and peoples and live throughout the New Earth to plant, harvest, build multiply and replenish it, will traffic in the light of the New Jerusalem and pass in and out of its gates, which will not be shut at all in the eternal day of the city. This shows that men will still be in a natural state and constitute the subjects in the eternal kingdom ruled by God and the saints forever. These are to be the sheep nations which enter the Millennium as well as the New Earth, having been purged from the sinful and rebellious nature (see Mt. 25:31-46). They will have natural kings over them, known as “the kings of the earth,” as well as glorified saints. These kings and peoples bring their glory and honor into the city regularly. This will perhaps consist of the fruit of the earth and the wonderful glory man came shot of when Adam fell. While these nations will traffic in the New City, there will never enter into it anything that is sinful. Only they whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life may enter.
