“There are no ordinary people. It is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit.” ~ C.S. Lewis No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. —1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT) …but it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. —1 Corinthians 2:10 (NLT) Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.” —Matthew 19:28-29 (NLT) palingenesia “On this mountain, the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine - the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy The shroud that enfolds all people, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; He will remove his peoples disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. “Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people will be a source of joy. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe 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. And he who was on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”” —Revelation 21:1-5 (NLT) The earth is included… The sea (evil) is no more… Heaven is coming to earth… God will comfort us… All things new…
