How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Who doesn't like new stuff? Maybe it's a new car or trying new places to eat, and of course

meeting new people. God loves newness as well. He's made us new creatures in Christ, Jesus,

and someday he'll create a new heaven and a new earth. One day the children of God will walk

in the new city of Jerusalem, filled with new experiences. Welcome to Through the Bible. In this study,

our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, focuses on that new city where there's no sun or moon, so we'll have a new

source of light. There's no sin, so we'll enjoy a new way of life. Jesus will be on the throne,

and so will enjoy a new kind of government.

It's not a reach to say that we're going to experience a new kind of joy that we can't even describe right now.

So we'll need new words to say how wonderful it is.

Notice a new theme here?

Well, we begin Revelation 21, verse 22, here at the very tail end of our

five-year study through the whole word of God, and soon we're going to start all over again.

Let's pray for one another and then get to our study. Heavenly Father, bless your word

and make it fruitful in our lives as we obey it, as we love it, and as we treasure it. In Jesus

name we pray. Amen.

We're off to Revelation 21 on Through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

As we come back to this 21st chapter of Revelation, we've been looking here at everything that's new.

Have you noticed that this is a chapter where everything was new?

We have here a new heaven, a new earth, and a new Jerusalem.

We saw that in the first two verses.

Then a new era was coming.
