Revelation Verse by Verse Playlist: • Revelation Verse by Ve... | In this text, Steve Gregg discusses Revelation 21-22 and the idea of a new heaven and earth. Gregg notes that the descent of the New Jerusalem and the descent of the Lamb's wife are likely connected to the meeting of the church and Christ at his second coming. The city is depicted as having twelve foundations, each associated with one of the twelve apostles, and it calls to mind the Holy Holies, God's dwelling place among men. Gregg also touches on the idea of renewal and the removal of impurities, as well as the importance of righteous and holy living.

I know it's been a few days. I, Jason, have either not felt well enough or been too tired to post. But I've gotten much better, have gotten to church and kids sports games and started back with my day job today - but I am quite drained after each of those. Thanks all for your prayers. Here is the last vbv lecture of Revelation!

Thank you so much, Steve, for your heart and investment into the Word of God, and for how through you He has enlightened us to its genuine meaning. O, for the Day when we who believe may be of one mind and one heart, understanding the truths of our God, and basking in His glory forever. Amen. God bless you, Steve. I appreciate your ministry so much.
Thank you for this Truth seeking ministry, it's a blessing to me. I've been listening on the radio and am so happy to find you on two other platforms!
@SteveGreggVideos Can you make a video about the claims of Jesus being a yogi and spending time in India?
Lies from the pit of hell imo. With the exception for the short period of time He spent in Egypt as baby with His family hiding from Herod. Jesus stayed with His family in the land of Israel up until the start of His ministry and preached in the land of Israel and died and rose again in the land of Israel then ascended into Heaven.
The new heavens and earth are described in non-apocalyptic prose for instance in 2Pet 3.13 which refers back to the prophesy of the new physical reality in Isa 66 and 65. Paul also addresses the ideas in non-apocalyptic prose in 1Cor 15, and Romans 8.
Preterism can’t help but systematically try to force a square peg into a round hole and undo all biblical prooftext and internal logic to cover for the agenda in Mystery Babylon/Jerusalem with the red heifers to renew the Sinai covenant/Mosaic laws enforced by the beast.
I follow you on the first paragraph. Have no clue what the second paragraph is about. - in post surgery dizziness, Jason.
Did Steve comment on the phrase “the sea was no more”? What does that mean?
I admittedly haven't listened to the full teaching yet, but I believe he mentioned the same concept/typology during his commentary on Revelation 13. The sea can refer to chaos/evil, hence why there is no more sea at this juncture. God will have banished and purged all evil from creation. I need to listen to the full video, but I'm almost certain he mentioned it earlier in the series.
It's not literal - the new earth will have seas, perfect condition - no chaos, fear, sin etc
The "great city" where the Lord was crucified (Rev 11.8) which is called Babylon and described ruling over the kings and great merchants of the land/earth (Rev 17.5,18; 18.23) rules out Rome and Jerusalem in 70 AD and eliminates Preterism as a viable explanation.
Preterism is designed to put watchers to sleep and neutralize opposition to the efforts of Jerusalem/Babylon to build a 3rd temple with red heifers ready to begin the process and renew the Sinai Covenant, which in the Torah came with the name of the Lord sealed spiritually upon the head and hand of the congregation, which the beast will imitate with his psuedo prophet leading the way.
This is what the rabbis expect Elijah to do when he returns in defiance of the New Covenant announced by Jeremiah who said it would NOT be like the one at Sinai which they broke (Jer 31.31-33), and coincidentally this is what is happening in Rev 13.
Preterism makes zero sense when you understand the language from the Torah used to describe these prophetic events.

Irenaeus, famous disciple of Polycarp who was the famous disciple of Apostle John, understood the beast/AC of Rev 13 had not yet come and therefore was a futurist, and not a Jesuit.
The Bride glorified. Not many boble teachers notice that, but it's absolutely true.
40:01 But can I have that curse of the ground removed now via faith and by the laying on of hands and prophetic declaration? The Lords prayer "You will be done on earth as it is in heaven" so perhaps via that prayer I am bringing aspects of that new earth into my reality now as I take authority over the property and business w/in my sphere of influence?
Revelation 21-22
New King James Version
All Things Made New
21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [b]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It[c] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The New Jerusalem
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came [f]to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the [g]bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the [h]great city, the [i]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the [j]names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand [k]furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
The Glory of the New Jerusalem
22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine [l]in it, for the [m]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations [n]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor [o]into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into [p]it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything [q]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The River of Life
22 And he showed me a [r]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
The Time Is Near
6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [s]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.
7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Now I, John, [t]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. [u]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [v]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
Jesus Testifies to the Churches
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [w]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed are those who [x]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [y]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
A Warning
18 [z]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, [aa]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God[ab] shall take away his part from the [ac]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
I Am Coming Quickly
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be [ad]with you all. Amen.

as, not is.
The phrase "A new heaven and a new earth" refers to what heaven will be like for us as resurrected glorified people. That is a three dimensional reality that accommodates aspects of our physical earthly experience, though in a glorified manner
new heaven, not heavens.
1 Peter 2:5-9King James Version
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
I'm unclear about this teaching. It seems to me these transformations happen instantaneously upon death. In other words on death The Judgement, The bodily transformation and arrival into Heaven or conversely Judgement unto damnation all occur instantly upon death. I still believe The New Heaven and Earth in a relationship dynamic like Full Preterism teaches. There is no scripture that teaches God will Supernaturally create something completely different. At least to my knowledge
