Zechariah 8 – The New Jerusalem

 

If we judge our self we will not be judged. If we confess our sins we will be forgiven. When Christ comes He will dwell in the New Jerusalem, and it shall be the capital of the earth. It shall be called the City of Truth. We do not live in the City of Truth today. There are too many cults and false religions. This kingdom will be established, and no one can change God’s plan. It will be a place for the elderly to live. There will be no more rest homes and retirement centers. They will be safe and welcome there. Boys and girls will be playing safely in the streets. There will be no cars or pollution. The elderly and the young will live together in peace. If you think you have it good here, just think of what it will be like in New Jerusalem. This is nothing compared to there.

 

All God’s people from the East to the West will travel there. This is not only the obedient Jews, but the obedient Gentiles also. We will live in truth and righteousness. God is not recognized in Jerusalem today, but in the New Jerusalem all will be made right. We will share in the prosperity of the fruit and vegetation of the land. If we want to enter the New Jerusalem, God tells us to speak the truth to our neighbors, not to believe in false promises and to not think evil in your heart against your neighbor. Those things God hates, so we must be honest and truthful and live peaceably with each other. There will be no fasting, but only days of feasting. The events of the past will be forgotten in the glory of the worship of the Lord. Jesus came to bring us joy, not sorrow (Matt. 9:14-17).
