I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them as their God.”

Revelation 21:2-3

John hears a loud voice, a booming voice of authority, to authenticate the vision. When heaven comes down to earth, God will make his dwelling fully and completely on earth. God will dwell in full and complete relationship with his people.

Our ultimate hope rests in the fact that God will dwell fully and completely with us at the end of time. We will be unified with God and his people under the goodness and authority of God.

Thank God today that he is bringing about a unity among his people at the end of time.
