The End and Still Dwelling

Revelation 21

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1) Here in
verse 1 is the end of that creation. Yet God will continue to dwell with
men. God walked with Adam in the garden and will dwell with men in the new
city.

From creation to creation God walks with men. This is the goal of Jesus
coming to earth, to provide salvation to men. The pain of life (Gen 3) has
come to an end. The tears of that life will be wiped away. Corinthians
tells of men becoming a new creation through Christ. The old has passed
away. Yet we who have been made new still live in the pain filled earth.
The new dwelling place will be the home of righteousness and even death will
be no more.
