4. God in the Midst of Men (Revelation 21:3-4)


And There Shall be no More Death: The Bible assures us several times that the last enemy of God and men which will be destroyed is death (Isaiah 25:8; Hosea 13:14; 1 Corinthians 15:26.54-55; Revelation 20:14; 21:4).

We all have to die because we are sinning. There is none who does good, no not one. Therefore death has global power. Countless tears are wept because of the death of fathers, mothers, children and friends. The misery arising from death of those that are left behind is often hard.

However, Christ has defeated death when he overcame the reason of death, which is our sin, and visualized the eternal live in his resurrection.

While Antichrist is raging by means of slander, torture and death, he nevertheless will fail because of the love of the sanctified toward Christ, their Savior. All those who are “in” Christ have everlasting life. Death will find no hold on them. By means of faith in Christ they will overcome the world as well as death.

Along with the destruction of the satanic trinity death is deprived of his fundament and power. Likewise as Satan, his cruel master, death will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14).

The background of this victorious message is the fact that nobody will sin any more in the new creation, neither in the new heaven nor on the new earth. The spirit of rebellion and disobedience has been eradicated. All kind of ungodliness has been eliminated by the blood of the Lamb and its spirit. The freedom of the children of God will not entice them into pride and independence of their creator, but on the contrary the lowliness and gentleness of Jesus have gained ground in men as well as in angels. Therefore death will find no hold on them any longer. The so-called “sickness to death” has been overcome and eradicated in the new creation. All things which were related to this enemy of God are completely defeated.

Because of these reasons in the realm of peace all keens have become silent. There are no more cries of horror, no more mourning of the desperate.

All shouting because of accidents, dishonor, shame, violence, injustice, harm and horror has become silent.

Even pains of body and soul do not exist any longer in the realm of the Almighty God and His Lamb.

While in perished Babylon, the great harlot, all joy and life came to an end, in New Jerusalem holy joy and everlasting live dominate.

The old world order has been vanished. Its curse and punishment came to an end. The pleasure of the Lord will fill the overarching space of His peace and love. (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11; 65:17-19).

PRAYER: Prince of Peace and Victor over death, we worship You because You took away all troubles and sins from us to reconcile us to God that His peace might prevail and His pleasure might dwell in us. We deposit into Your hands the persecuted Christians, suffering women, and blessed martyrs that they may experience Your comfort and the everlasting life with You and Your heavenly Father. We praise You that You overcame death and its reason having wiped off our sins and our little faith. Amen.

QUESTION:

  1. How did Jesus overcome death and its reason? What is the result of this great victory for us?
