ALL THINGS NEW

===================================

The resurrection of the body; and immortality; and "no more death" go hand in glove together: 

"When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:54 - Paul was writing to the Corinthians about the resurrection of the body from the dead in this passage). 

===================================

CHRIST WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW

THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY

AND THE REGENERATION OF ALL THINGS:

Paul links the resurrection of the body from death to the regeneration of all things:

Romans 8:19-25:
"The earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, That the creation itself shall also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."

All three gospel authors recorded Jesus speaking to His disciples about the regeneration of all things in the age to come:-

Luke 18:29-30:
Then Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of God's kingdom who will not receive many times more in this age - and in the age to come, eternal life [zoe]."

Mark 10:28-30:
Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed you. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the aion (age) to come aionios (perpetual/everlasting) life [zoe].

Matthew 19:27-29:
"Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life [zoe]."

THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY,

IMMORTALITY,

AND "NO MORE DEATH"

Before circa 1227 A.D there was no division into chapters and verses in the Revelation or in any other biblical book.

Paul wrote, "When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:54 - Paul was writing to the Corinthians about the resurrection of the body from the dead in this passage). 

Revelation 21:4 says, 

"God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things passed away." (Revelation 21:4).

Following the resurrection from the dead at the time of the return of Christ, those who rose from the dead when Christ appeared, will once again be immortal. There will be no more death (the first death - the death of Adam). 

Jesus promises those who overcome that THEY will not experience the second death.

COMMON THEMES IN THE REVELATION LINK 

THE RETURN OF CHRIST TO 

THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH

END OF THE AGE In Revelation 7:13-17 we read about a great multitude, which no man could number, that came out from great tribulation, which they experienced before the return of Christ, and below is what else John saw regarding them:  The throne of God is among them, and all tears will be wiped from their eyes. (Revelation 7:13-17).

BRIDE OF CHRIST PREPARED AS A BRIDE ALL THINGS NEW Revelation 21:2: "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." The same promises made to those who came out from great tribulation are made to the bride of Christ,  New Jerusalem, in a New Heavens and Earth which John saw "descending out of heaven from God.": The throne of God is among them, and all tears will be wiped from their eyes. (Revelation 21:2-4).

BRIDE OF CHRIST HAS MADE  HERSELF READY Revelation 19:7-8:   "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.    And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."

 

"It is Done!"

ARMAGEDDON "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.  --- And he gathered them into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air.  --- And a great voice came out of the temple of Heaven, from the throne, saying,  --- It is done! "--- (Revelation 16:15-17)

ALL THINGS NEW "And He sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. And He said to me,  --- It is done ---.   I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely. He who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.  But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." (Revelation 21:5-8)

TREE OF LIFE "Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according as his work is. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.  Blessed are they who do His commandments, that their authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the gates into the city.  But outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes a lie. I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you over the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star.  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one hearing say, Come! And let him who is thirsty come.  And he willing, let him take of the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:12-17).

THE WORDS "ALL THINGS" USED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IN REFERENCE TO GOD'S CREATION:-

Colossians 1:16-17:

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."

John 1:3-4:

All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any thing made that was made. 

In him was life [zoe]; and the life [zoe] was the light of men." 

Revelation 21:5:

"And He sitting on the throne said, 

Behold, I make all things new" 

"And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful."
