In 2002, Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped from her home in Utah. She lived a vagabond life in the constant presence of the couple accused of abducting her. However, 9 months after she was abducted she was found and returned home. It was the happy reunion her family had been longing for.
In the book of Revelation, John describes a vision of a new heaven and a new earth and our future reunion with the Lord (21:1-5). The context is not just geographic, but a context of life for Gods peoplea glorious reality of God and His people dwelling together for eternity.
John describes the benefits that come to Gods people when He takes up His abode in their midst. Abolished forever are the debilitating consequences of sin. In Johns vision, sorrow, death, pain, and separation are all part of the first things that are now gone. The old order gives way to the new and perfect ordera reunion of eternal blessedness. Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. . . . He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new? (Rev. 21:3,5).
One day, well rejoice over a happy reunion in heaven with our heavenly Father. We cannot imagine what a day of rejoicing that will be!
