The angel showed me a river that was crystal clear, and its waters gave life. The river came from the throne where God and the Lamb were seated. Then it flowed down the middle of the city's main street. On each side of the river are trees that grow a different kind of fruit each month of the year. The fruit gives life, and the leaves are used as medicine to heal the nations.
God's curse will no longer be on the people of that city. He and the Lamb will be seated there on their thrones, and its people will worship God and will see him face to face. God's name will be written on the foreheads of the people. Never again will night appear, and no one who lives there will ever need a lamp or the sun. The Lord God will be their light, and they will rule forever.
Revelation 22:1-5
When the curse is gone life will be different, very different. Pain, sorrow, suffering and dying will all disappear. You will never have a headache and you will never again feel that deep ache in your heart after a loved one dies. There are no obituaries in the Heavenly Times! There also are no cemeteries in Heaven. All the news in Heaven is Good News.
No one in Heaven will be afraid of the dark, because there will be no night. In Heaven you will see God face to face and His name will be written on your forehead. In Heaven you will eat fruit that gives life.
Everyone spends time thinking about their vacation trip before that day arrives. And as the day of their departure comes closer the excitement grows. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ you have never been closer to the day of His return than you are this day! As the world spins out of control, hold on tightly to Jesus and think about the world that is to come.
"Lord Jesus, walk though my heart with Your Word and the hope of Heaven! Give me peace where there is no peace. I hope to see You soon! Amen."
