A dream of Heaven












































































John sees into the future, from Revelation 1, 5, 21, 22
I see a throne. And on the throne is a king. And the King is Jesus. All around the throne people are bowing down. They are giving Him their treasures.


There are loud cheers and clapping, clapping and bright laughter like a thousand waterfalls and everyone bursts out singing a new song......


"This is our King! The Lamb who died, so we don't have to -- our Rescuer. All Honor and Glory! Forever and ever." And every creature everywhere, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, joins in.


And then

From all around

A wide

Immense

Beautiful

Silence


And I see Satan - God's horrible enemy - thrown down, defeated.


I see a sparkling city shimmering in the sky: glittering, glowing - coming down! From heaven and from the sky. Heaven is coming down to earth!


God's city is beautiful. Walls of topaz, jasper, sapphire. Wide streets paved with gold. Gleaming pearl gates that are never locked shut.


Where is the sun? Where is the moon? They aren't needed anymore. God is all the Light people need. No more darkness! No more night!


And the King says, "Look! God and His children are together again. No more running away. Or hiding. No more crying or being lonely or afraid. No more being sick or dying. Because all those things are gone. Yes, they're gone forever. Everything sad has come untrue. And see - I have wiped away every tear from every eye!"


And then a deep, beautiful voice that sounded like thunder in the sky says, "Look, I am making everything new!"

This photo of Carter is one of the sweetest of his face. The innocence and depth of wonder in his eyes is so beautiful. I sit in wonder at your deep faith. I am so happy you have it to help you through this time. You have inspired me so much. You are the definition of a true real Christian. I know God blesses you each day for keeping Him so close in this time of sorrow for you.
