Heaven Awaits
Part 7: The New Heaven and The New Earth

In this powerful sermon, Dr. Michael Youssef explores the Biblical prophecy of a new heaven and new earth, focusing on Satan's opposition to Genesis and Revelation.

Key Themes Examined:

  • Satan's absence in the first two and last two chapters of the Bible
  • The consistency of God's Word regarding the new heaven and earth
  • The destruction of the old universe and creation of the new
  • The New Jerusalem as the capital city of the new heaven
  • The characteristics of eternal life with Jesus

Key Points Expanded:

  1. Satan hates Genesis and Revelation because they bookend his defeat. In Genesis, God pronounces Satan's death sentence, while Revelation carries out that sentence. This highlights the remarkable consistency of God's Word across millennia, from Isaiah's prophecy to Jesus' teachings and John's visions in Revelation.
  2. In the New Jerusalem believers will dwell in God's presence without any separation. Dr. Youssef paints a picture of a place where there is no more sin, sorrow, or death – only eternal joy in the presence of Jesus. He uses the analogy of a blind man seeing his bride for the first time to illustrate the moment when believers will finally see Jesus face to face.
  3. Are you ready for Christ’s return? Dr. Youssef emphasizes that salvation is by grace alone, not works, but that believers will be rewarded according to their faithfulness.
