Good afternoon everybody. As I was reflecting back to our meeting on monday, something hit me. I began to think of how God is telling his people through Saint Peter(2peter3:8-14) "BUT according to his promise, we await new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells."

"new heavens":
What I humbly began to ponder was Genesis, and the Fall Stories. First, the fall of the angels. The beginning of sin, the chasm of heaven and hell. The choice that 1/3 of the angels made to follow Lucifer. The only reason there will be new heavens is by the blood of the lamb. Each drop, wiping clean everything heaven, hell and the chasm.
Just like Peter said, "and the heavens will pass away with a mighty roar." I like to think its the roar of the lamb coming in full glory, to bring us ALL home. Where is home? Eternal life. This is how Jesus cleans up all of divinity and heavens before we go home.

"a new earth"
In the fall story of Adam and Eve, the start of original sin, its consequences and reprocutions of it, for all humanity. This is a fall that keeps falling. A fall we are all still and will be part of to this very day, why? Because we are human and have free will. The choice and choices we make in our lives, past present and future keeps us wretchedly sinful.
The only reason there will be "a new earth" is by the Body and Blood of the Lamb made flesh, who is OUR CHRIST JESUS. It makes me very humbled and grateful that God came down in the flesh to save us from sin, from its consequences and reprocutions, basically from this human life and death to give us eternal life with no death.
Jesus not only saved us by dying on that tree, and by rising from the dead. He conquered death by dying and desending into hell, so we would not have to. Through his desecnt, I feel is where Jesus Christ cleaned up the consequences and reprocutions and deeds of all evil, and loved it for the good of all. All this love was and is needed for us humans to make it through the gates, TOGETHER AND UNIFIED UNDER THE ONE.

"and the earth and everything done on it will be found out"
This reminded me of the tower of babel. All of this babel we do, we say, we live, we mingle with in our lifetimes. The sin we live within ourselves. Then, we(humanity)have to live together on this planet. Then, we as a family of God, perserve and reform our cultures, our societies, our families, so again, we stayed unified under the one risen Christ Jesus, FOR ALL OF TIME. TO ANY END OF ANY EARTH AND BEYOND. All thanks and praise and thanksgiving to the Father Almighty, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

"where righteousness dwells"
This is why need Jesus soo much, He is the ONLY perfect righteousness known to man and above and the only place I would want all of us to dwell after this existence has taken its course. That is when we really will be dwelling in divine and heavenly style. Amen
