Are you looking forward with ineffable joy to the appearing of the "NEW EARTH with NEW HEAVENS?"

A dramatic painting of a woman, back view, standing on the edge of a shallow stream with a mountain on one side and trees on the other contemplates an enormous sphere that fills the sky before her.

God and his beloved Son are preparing this fantastic "NEW EARTH," this "WORLD TO COME," for every human being who desires a pleasant, secure dwelling place, a heavenly country, infinitely better than planet Earth. John 14:1-4; Hebrews 12:22; 2 Peter 3:13-14

The HOPE of going to live in such a marvelous, perfect, everlasting abode, held unswervingly with absolute confidence in the Divine Beings who affirm their offer, serves as "a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul." Even amid the most ferocious storms of this earthly life. Hebrews 6:17-20

The key is to "HOLD FAST to the HOPE set before us." Hebrews 6:18

Jesus Christ himself, "for the JOY that was set before him endured the cross." The joyous hope of the glorification he would receive forty days beyond the cross. Thereby setting the example for us. Hebrews 12:1-4
