Making All Things New: Understanding God's Plan for Creation's Renewal (Revelation Series)
Discover how the Bible's vision of a new heaven and a new earth offers profound hope and insight into God's ultimate plan of restoration. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into key biblical passages from Isaiah, Peter, Paul, and Revelation to unpack the consistent message of renewal and reconciliation throughout Scripture. They explore the significance of the Greek words for "new"—Kainos (new in quality) and Neos (new in time)—and how understanding these terms illuminates God's intention to purify and restore creation rather than destroy it.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding "New" in Scripture – Differentiating between Kainos and Neos and what it means for God's promise to make all things new.
- The Consistent Biblical Theme of Restoration – Examining how passages from Isaiah 65, 2 Peter 3, 1 Corinthians 3, and Revelation 21-22 point toward a renewed creation and the rejoining of heaven and earth.
- Metaphors of Purification – Exploring how fire, water, and light symbolize refining processes leading to new creation, and how these elements reveal what is true and enduring.
- Our Role in God's Plan – Discussing how living holy lives and building on the foundation of Christ contribute to the coming of the new heaven and new earth.
- Anticipating the Rejoining of Heaven and Earth – Understanding the implications of God's promise to dwell among His people and make His dwelling place with humanity once more.
