Revelation 21 says…<\/p>\n
1 <\/span>Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 <\/span>And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 <\/span>And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place <\/span>of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, <\/span>and God himself will be with them as their God. <\/span>4 <\/span>He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”\u009d<\/strong><\/p>\n
5 <\/span>And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”\u009d Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”\u009d 6 <\/span>And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 7 <\/span>The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 <\/span>But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”\u009d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
May the start of this new year remind of the coming new creation that has already begun in the Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from the death! Glory to God in the highest! And may all that is good in this world proseper and all that is evil perish this new year of 2008!<\/p>\n
