Vision
30: Further Revelations
The scene is shown in Heaven. All the overcomers are
gathered together before the throne of God. God Himself is seen as a Light
(very bright) sitting on His throne. The earth is shown to be in a terrible
state of destruction. This is the picture shortly after Armageddon has taken
place.
God sends His messengers (angels) to fetch the
forbidden books in order to show these to His children. The first book is
opened and rolled out upon the table. It shows a vision of the first (silver)
earth with water under the earth as well as water above the earth, many plants
and animals, beautiful strange animals, also dinosaurs, peace and tranquility
rules.
The second book shows how something went wrong and
the animals started to grow fangs and started killing one another. God said
this was not good. He opened up the fountains from beneath the earth and
simultaneously caused the water above the earth to come down. Everything died
and the earth remained covered with water. It became void and empty and
remained like this for a very long time.
The third book shows God's plans for the second
earth. He started off by restoring a small part of earth (the Garden of Eden).
Again something went wrong and He had to take man out of this garden.
At this stage the rest of the earth was also filled
with plants in order for man to live. Subsequently the garden was transferred
into the Heavens and is known as the Paradise. Christians who died, not being
overcomers, stay here. Those who have overcome are found in what may be
described as a higher Heaven before God's Throne. God then announces to the
overcomers that they now have a free hand to restore the earth that had been
destroyed. They draw up plans and everything happens as they planned it. God
also appoints them to rule over earth for the next thousand years.
For the first number of years many of the people on
earth still transgress and are punished for it, many even die. As time goes by
these transgressions become less frequent and most people live throughout the
next thousand years.
In the meantime God causes a new earth (the gold
earth) to be made, apparently by the overcomers. This having been finished God
announces that He will show them something. Something like a big door is opened
in the Heavens and the Heavenly Jerusalem is seen descending down onto the top
of the New Earth amidst a special song being sung by the angels (and overcomers).
God announces that in this city are homes for all the overcomers and they may
take possession of it. The people surviving on the old earth will fill the rest
of the New Earth.
