Eden Restored, Revelation 22:1-5

🎚️ Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. 🎚️

As I sit here in the warmth of my home I can’t help but think about the world in which we live. I was sent to the book of Revelation this morning where I read about one of the two locations that will have vacancies when our earthly life ends; unless of course the rapture occurs first. My mind went to the story of the rich man in Luke 16, looking up from Hell seeing Lazarus at Abraham’s bosom, . Verse 24 says:

🎚️ So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ 🎚️

According to Scripture there is a literal Heaven and there is a literal Hell. The Bible is also clear on who will go where. It’s not a big secret. And we can choose which room we book.
