“Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

 He will dwell among us:

 

Revelation 21:3-4

3     And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,

     4     and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

     

 

Revelation 22:3-5

3     There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him;

     4     they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.

     5     And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.

     

            Look at all the appalling things that no longer will be: death, mourning, crying, pain, and curse. These things are among the first things. We will no longer be made miserable by any of them. Many of us have mourned our loved ones going on before us; too many of them before their time. We’ve all cried. We’ve all felt pain inside and out. We were all under a curse before we came to Jesus. Those things will no longer harm us. Not only will the negative things be gone, there will be many positive ones to take their places. The throne of the Father and the Son will be in our midst. We will see the face of God. We will walk in the light of the Lord and won’t have need of sun or moon to light our way.

 

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "My children, sorrow no more. I have established My covenant with you in the earth that you may be victorious in life and in death. I have not desired that you suffer in pain and agony. I have desired that you walk in the glorious newness of My life. You shall know no pain in My glory. You shall not suffer nor be afflicted in any way. No evil thing can exist in My presence. I will be with you in My glory and nothing shall ever again harm you. You are precious in My sight, and I will let nothing afflict you ever again. You will walk with Me in white and know My glory. I will take away all pain and sorrow and harm that has come upon you when you meet Me in My glory. I will never again allow any harm to come upon you when you meet Me in My glory.”

 

            111. I shall behold the face of God, and He will wipe away all my tears. I will no longer cry or experience pain. I shall walk in the light of the Lord and will reign forever and ever.
