18 <strong>REVELATION</strong> is NOT a Mystery—TEACHER’S GUIDE THE FUTURE: Eternity<br />
THE <strong>ETERNAL</strong> STATE<br />
1. In the Eternal State, a new heaven and a new earth<br />
replace the present heavens and earth (Revelation<br />
<strong>21</strong>: 1).<br />
2. The present system is destroyed (II Peter 3:7 and 10-<br />
13). A new arrangement begins and lasts forever.<br />
3. The old and new forms relate to each other, but<br />
Scripture indicates extreme changes. “No more<br />
sea” (Rev. <strong>21</strong>:1): seas separate land masses and<br />
drastically effect the climate).<br />
4. A new Jerusalem (God’s Golden City) is suspended<br />
between the new heaven and the new earth, serving<br />
as headquarters for the Eternal State (Psalm 87:2-3;<br />
Rev. 20:9; <strong>21</strong>:2, 9-10).<br />
5. New Jerusalem fulfills, forever, God’s promise to<br />
Abraham that his (Abraham’s) children would<br />
become a great nation and be a blessing to the entire<br />
world (Genesis 15:1-<strong>21</strong>; Is. 9:7; Zech 8:23).
