Revelation 21:5 - Bible Commentary

Revelation 21:5

“Look, I am making everything new!”

Commentary

God is the Maker. The Good book starts with the superb story of His formation of the universe, and it finishes up with His production of another paradise and another earth. This is a colossal expectation and consolation for the devotee. At the point when we are with God, with our transgressions excused and our future secure, we will be like Christ. We will be made wonderful like Him.

Revelation 21:5 is a powerful verse where God declares, "Behold, I make all things new." This verse is found in the last book of the Bible, Revelation, and it offers a glimpse into the future, describing a new heaven and a new earth.

The context of this verse is important. In the preceding verses, John, the author of Revelation, describes the vision of a holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven. This city represents the dwelling place of God among His people. In Revelation 21:5, God Himself speaks, emphasizing His authority over creation.

The phrase "I make all things new" signifies a divine renewal and transformation. It echoes themes found throughout the Bible, emphasizing God's ability to bring about redemption and restoration. It draws on Old Testament prophecies that speak of a future restoration, like Isaiah 65:17, where God promises to create a new heaven and a new earth.

Biblical stories such as Noah's ark and the flood provide examples of God renewing the world after judgment. In the New Testament, the resurrection of Jesus Christ serves as the ultimate act of renewal, offering new life to all believers.

In summary, Revelation 21:5 is a proclamation of God's power to bring about a new and redeemed creation. It ties together biblical themes of renewal, restoration, and the ultimate victory of God over sin and death.

Keep your lamp filled with oil. The King of kings is coming. - Matthew 25;1-13

Let's break down this powerful passage from the Bible, Matthew 25:1-13, known as the "Parable of the Ten Virgins." Even if you're not Christian, the core message here is about readiness, responsibility, and the consequences of procrastination , which are universal truths. First, what's a "parable"? Think of it as a story Jesus told to explain a deep spiritual truth in a simple, relatable way. He used everyday situations people understood to teach big ideas about God and life. The Story: The Wedding Party Imagine an ancient Middle Eastern wedding. It was a huge celebration, often lasting for days! The climax was when the bridegroom would come at night to collect his bride, bringing her to his house for a grand feast. In this story, ten young women (often called virgins, but think of them more like bridesmaids) are waiting for the bridegroom to arrive. Their job is to join the procession with their lamps lit to welcome him and guide the way to the feast...

Gossip - How bad thing it is..

In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation for wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him: "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?" "A moment," replied Socrates. "Before you tell me, I would like to test it with the three sieves." "The three sieves?" "Yes," continued Socrates. "Before you speak about others, it's important to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?" "No, I just heard it." "Very well! So, you don't know if it's true. Let's move on to the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. Is what you want to tell me about my friend something good?" "Oh, no! On the contrary." "So," questioned Socrates, "you want to tell me something negative about him, and you're not even sure it...
