"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)
The key to "understanding" the Book of Revelation, as well as all Scripture, is the passage in 2 Corinthians 4:18, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Jesus appeared in the, "....temporary...," that He might bring us into the, "....Eternal."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I commit to, "....look at...the things which are not seen...." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
