Revelation is not literal. It is a prophetic, apocalyptic book with high level symbolism.

Why did God give us the book of Revelation?  To give us HOPE.

Revelation 21 teaches us about heaven

·         Heaven is God’s perfect residence where we will live forever

·         He will be making a new heaven and a new earth

·         God will dwell with His people eternally

·         Heaven will be perfect, lack sin, complete

·         It will be a blessed reunion

God gives HOPE for the fantastic future we have! Revelation is full of that hope.

Hope in Jesus is certain and sure!
