Main Reading: Isaiah 65–66; Ezekiel 40–48; Revelation 21–22
Theme: God Makes All Things New and Dwells Forever With His People
Messianic Focus: Yeshua Brings the New Creation and Completes God’s Redemptive Plan
🌿 Overview
The story of Scripture ends not with escape from the world, but with the renewal of the world.
God’s plan is not simply to redeem souls, but to restore creation itself.
Isaiah 65–66 declares that God will create new heavens and a new earth, a world of joy, justice, and peace.
Ezekiel’s final vision reveals:
- a restored land,
- a renewed Temple,
- a river of life flowing from God’s presence,
- healing for the nations,
- a transformed Jerusalem called:
“THE LORD IS THERE” — YHWH Shammah.
Revelation 21–22 brings these visions into their fullness:
- a New Jerusalem
- the Tree of Life restored
- no more death, sorrow, pain, or curse
- the dwelling of God among His people
- the Lamb as its light
- the river of life flowing from God’s throne
The final hope of Scripture is the presence of God, face-to-face, forever.

🌿 Messianic Connection

2. Yeshua removes the curse introduced in Genesis 3
Revelation 22:3 — “No longer will there be any curse.”
3. Yeshua is the Temple and the Light of the New Creation
There is no Temple in the New Jerusalem because God and the Lamb are its Temple.
There is no sun because the Lamb is its light.
4. Yeshua opens the way back to the Tree of Life
Revelation 22 restores what was lost in Genesis —
access to the Tree of Life through the Messiah.
5. Yeshua restores God’s presence to His people
“Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity.” (Rev. 21:3)
He is Immanuel — God with us — forever.

This world is not the final chapter.

Invest in what will last — righteousness, faith, love, discipleship.
