Cory teaches on Revelation 21:1-8. Faithful Christians will reign with Jesus in the new creation as in Eden. The mainstream narrative about “going to heaven when I die” is only part of the full biblical story. Looking at Rev 21:1-8, we see through the OT references that John is describing a renewed creation of both heaven and earth, and that the faithful believers are again given the mandate as in Gen 1, to rule the earth on God’s behalf. Understanding this ancient and enduring call means that Christians now should be engaged in that task as we wait for the life to come.
