This episode explores Revelation 21–22 to show that God’s final purpose is to restore creation, return to His people, and reconcile the nations through the victorious reign of Jesus. It emphasizes that the “new heaven and new earth” reverse the chaos and death introduced by the fall, wiping away tears and ending the separation between God and humanity. Drawing from the exile-and-return motif and post-exilic prophets like Haggai, it highlights how the New Jerusalem symbolizes the full, covenantal presence of God with His bride, the church, and invites believers to anchor their security in Christ rather than in earthly assets. The message reframes judgment as a means by which the nations come to know God, and it unpacks the vision of an un-walled, always-open city whose tree of life heals the nations, calling the church to proclaim the gospel until Jesus returns. The message ends with a challenge: to fix our hope on the city of God, to join the Spirit and the bride in praying “Come, Lord Jesus,” and to live now as witnesses who bring the nations into the light of the Lamb.
