THE DESTINATION OF HEAVEN Revelation 22: 1-5<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Then the angel\u00a0showed me\u00a0the river of\u00a0the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb\u00a02\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>through the middle of\u00a0the street of the city;\u00a0also, on either side of the river,\u00a0the tree of life\u00a0with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were\u00a0for the healing of the nations.\u00a03\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>No longer will there be anything accursed, but\u00a0the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and\u00a0his servants will worship him.\u00a04\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>They will see his face, and\u00a0his name will be on their foreheads.\u00a05\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And\u00a0night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp\u00a0or sun, for\u00a0the Lord God will be their light, and\u00a0they will reign forever and ever.<\/h2>\n
Psalm 46: 4-5<\/h2>\n
There is\u00a0a river whose streams make glad\u00a0the city of God, the holy\u00a0habitation of the Most High.

1 Corinthians 13: 12<\/h2>\n
For\u00a0now we see in a mirror dimly, but\u00a0then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as\u00a0I have been fully known.<\/h2>\n

THE INSPIRATION OF HEAVEN<\/strong> Revelation 22: 6-10<\/strong><\/h2>\n
And he said to me,\u00a0\u201cThese words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of\u00a0the spirits of the prophets,\u00a0has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.\u201d 7\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cAnd behold,\u00a0I am coming soon.\u00a0Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.\u201d 8\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>I,\u00a0John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them,\u00a0I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me,\u00a09\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>but he said to me, \u201cYou must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those\u00a0who keep the words of this book. Worship God.\u201d 10\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And he said to me,\u00a0\u201cDo not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.<\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
2 Timothy 4: 8<\/h2>\n
Henceforth there is\u00a0laid up for me\u00a0the crown of righteousness, which the Lord,\u00a0the righteous judge, will award to me on\u00a0that day, and not only to me but also to all\u00a0who have loved his appearing.<\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
THE MOTIVATION OF HEAVEN Revelation 22: 11-16<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.\u201d 12\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cBehold,\u00a0I am coming soon,\u00a0bringing my recompense with me,\u00a0to repay each one for what he has done.\u00a013\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>I am the Alpha and the Omega,\u00a0the first and the last,\u00a0the beginning and the end.\u201d 14\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Blessed are those who\u00a0wash their robes,[<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0so that they may have the right to\u00a0the tree of life and that\u00a0they may enter the city by the gates.\u00a015\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Outside are\u00a0the dogs\u00a0and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cI, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things\u00a0for the churches. I am\u00a0the root and\u00a0the descendant of David,\u00a0the bright morning star.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Hebrews 12: 1-3<\/h2>\n
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and\u00a0sin which clings so closely, and\u00a0let us run\u00a0with endurance the race that is\u00a0set before us,\u00a02\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,\u00a0who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising\u00a0the shame, and\u00a0is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 3\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or\u00a0fainthearted.<\/h2>\n
1 John 2: 28- 3: 3<\/h2>\n
And now, little children, abide in him, so that\u00a0when he appears\u00a0we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his\u00a0coming. 29\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>If you know that\u00a0he is righteous, you may be sure that\u00a0everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. 1 See\u00a0what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called\u00a0children of God; and so we are. The reason why\u00a0the world does not know us is that\u00a0it did not know him.\u00a02\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Beloved, we are\u00a0God’s children\u00a0now, and what we will be\u00a0has not yet appeared; but we know that\u00a0when he appears\u00a0we shall be like him, because\u00a0we shall see him as he is.\u00a03\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And everyone who\u00a0thus hopes in him\u00a0purifies himself as he is pure.<\/h2>\n
THE VERIFICATION OF HEAVEN Revelation 22: 17-21<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>The Spirit and\u00a0the Bride say, \u201cCome.\u201d And let the one who hears say, \u201cCome.\u201d And\u00a0let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the\u00a0water of life without price. 18\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:\u00a0if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,\u00a019\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in\u00a0the tree of life and in\u00a0the holy city, which are described in this book. 20\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>He who testifies to these things says,\u00a0\u201cSurely\u00a0I am coming soon.\u201d\u00a0Amen.\u00a0Come, Lord Jesus! 21\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.\u00a0Amen.<\/h2>\n

Isaiah 55: 1-3 & 6-7<\/h2>\n
\u201cCome, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money,\u00a0come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. 3\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for\u00a0David. 6 \u201cSeek the\u00a0Lord\u00a0while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; 7\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the\u00a0Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.<\/h2>\n
Proverbs 30: 5-6<\/h2>\n
Every word of God proves true;\u00a0he is\u00a0a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Do not add to his words,\u00a0lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.<\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
Luke 12: 35-36<\/h2>\n
\u201cStay dressed for action[<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0and\u00a0keep your lamps burning,\u00a036\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>and be like men who are\u00a0waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and\u00a0knocks.<\/h2>\n
