"And all things shall be made new ... and there shall be no more tear, nor sorrow, nor pain ... for the temple of God shall be in the people with which He shall live ..."

These words, taken from the biblical book Revelation or Revelation, chapter 21 verses 5, 4, and 3 portray in a poetic way the happy outcome of living the "sacred secret."

Verse 2, in turn, speaks of a "marriage," citing a bride getting adorned for her husband. Already in verse 1, it speaks of seeing new heavens and a new earth, because the previous heavens and earth no longer existed ...

Letting your reflection lead to more extensive paths and deeper places in the understanding of this passage, let us consider some points:

Vers. 1, says about "new heavens and a new earth, because the heavens and the former earth no longer existed." In fact, most of us "awake" to ourselves, to God and His purpose, when we realize that the way we live is not necessarily as idealized. We wake up when our life seems to be meaningless. When we come to the point of questioning the existence of God. We wake up, when everything seems confused and we say: this was not the life I had planned! In other words, when "the heavens and the earth" that we draw for us, they no longer exist. So we look for "new heavens and a new earth" and see them, when something or someone helps us to see what God has in fact prepared for us. Here comes vers. 2...

Vers. 2, talks about the New Jerusalem dressed as a bride to her husband. If you advance in your theological studies, you will see that the expression "New Jerusalem" is a symbology and always refers to a chosen people, a separate nation. What does that mean? That we enter stage 2: recognize that we are chosen, separated by GOD. Yes, we must assume such a condition! If you have been called (o) by HE to be "special property", accept the invitation! And then begin to "adorn" yourself as a bride to your husband, that is, understand that you will need a whole process, a passage full of teachings, changes, readjustments, to show yourself fit to unite truly to Him, as in a marriage. And when we remember the institution of marriage in the early days of history, it is said that "man should unite with woman and both should be one flesh." This is the process described in v. 3

Vers. 3 reports that the "temple of God will be in the (or" with ") people with whom He will live. This reminds us of the words of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, who claims to be "temple of the Living God". There is another passage, in the book of Acts of the Apostles, which says that "He dwelleth not in temples made by human hands." Yes, we must truly assume and understand this truth: we are the dwelling place of God. Being a dwelling place for Him, we become ONE, such as the marriage represented in v. 2. When we reach this climax of adoration, understanding this principle of unity, we let live in us the most complete ...

Vers. 4, reveals some of the pleasant consequences: "and there will be no more death (we will not be more frustrated by the loss of a dream, a planning, a story), there will be no more sorrow, no sorrow, no pain, for all is past ! "

After all, as verse says. 5, "all things are made new"!

Live this truth, live the life that God has planned for you!

May HE be with you and in you even more!
