Vision Seven

Most people think that the Book of Revelation prophesies the end of the world. In reality, it prophesies “a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells” (2 Pet. 3:10). The Kingdom of God is “the renewal of all things,” when Yeshua will bring the whole earth in harmony with heaven. Yeshua is tasked with “restoring all things” (Acts 3:19) to the original loving intentions of God.

Where most people think that the Bible preaches doom and gloom, the actual promises in the last three chapters of Revelation are these:

All Satanic deception will be removed from the earth
Christians will receive new bodies, to help Yeshua restore righteousness everywhere.
Christians will be “priests of God reigning on earth.”
Hell, Satan and death will become a distant memory.
An embassy city, the New Jerusalem, will come down out of heaven, to be a meeting place between heaven and earth.
True LIFE will prevail everywhere (represented by the Tree of Life).

Jerusalem!

When Jesus said to Pilate, “My Kingdom is not of this world,” He didn’t mean that it was “in heaven.” He meant that it was not a “power and might kingdom,” like Rome. The prophets had all said that the King would return to the earth to rule from Jerusalem (Zion). These same prophets were amazingly accurate in predicting future earthly kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Jesus takes its place among those prophecies. There is no reason to think that the prophecies of Isaiah or Zechariah are to be regarded as allegories of the Church. We must, today, try to come to an understanding of God’s unique plan for the city of Jerusalem, so that we can pray according to His will.
