For the Son of Man is to come with His angels in the glory of His Father
and then He will repay everyone for what has been done. –Matthew 16:27 (NRSVCE)
The Glorious New Creation
For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth;
The former things shall not be remembered or come to mind but be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating;
For I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy and it’s people as a delight.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem and delight in My people, no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it or the cry of distress.
No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.
They shall build houses and inhabit them;
They shall build vineyards and eat their fruit. –Isaiah 65:17-21
For I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins — you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe and push the needy in the gate.
Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a time for it is an evil time.
Seek good and not evil that you may live and so the Lord, the God of hosts will be with you just as you have said. –Amos 5:12-14
