1.89. PARADISE OF PEACE
PARADISE OF PEACE And then it happened again. Again I was with the Lord Jesus, and we were soaring high up in the sky. Jesus said, "I want to show you the love and goodness of God and parts of heaven. I want you to see the wondrous works of the Lord, which are so beautiful to behold." An angel said to me, "See the goodness and kindness of the Lord your God. His mercy endures forever." There was such a sense of love and tender ness about the angel that I was about to weep when he spoke again, "Behold the power and might and majesty of God. Let me show you the place He has created for the children." Suddenly, there was a large planet looming before us, a planet that appeared to be as large as the earth.
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. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(Revelation 21:1-2) The next thing I heard was the voice of the Father saying, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one. The Father and the Son are one, and the Father and the Holy Spirit are one. I sent My Son to die on a cross so that no one needs to be lost.
I am about to show you the place I made for My children. I care greatly about all children. I care when a mother loses a child, even as the fruit of your womb was cast before its time. You see, I know all things, and I care. From the time there is life in the womb, I know. I know about the babies that are murdered while they are still in their mother’s bodies-the aborted lives that are cut off and unwanted. I know about the stillborn and those children who are born with crippling defects. From the time of conception, each is a soul. My angels go down and bring the children to Me when they die. In heaven they are loved, and they become perfect beings. I give them whole bodies and re store whatever parts are missing. I give them perfected bodies.
All over the planet there was a feeling of being loved, a sense of perfect well-being. Every thing was perfect. Here and there amid the lush green grass and pools of crystal clear water were marble seats and highly polished wooden benches to sit on. Everywhere I looked, there were children engaged in all kinds of activities. Each child wore a spotless white robe and sandals. The white robes were so bright that they glistened in the magnificent light on the planet. A profusion of color everywhere accented the whiteness of the children’s robes. Angels were the keepers of the entrance, and the children’s names were all written in a book. I saw children learning the Word of God and being taught music from a golden book. I was surprised to see animals of all sorts coming up to the children or sitting beside them while they were in this angelic school. There were no tears and no sorrow. Every thing was supremely beautiful. Joy and happiness were everywhere. Then the angel showed me another planet that glowed like a great light before me. The light shone with the radiance of a million stars, and everything on the planet was beautiful and alive. In the distance I saw two mountains made of pure gold, while closer to me were two golden gates, in which diamonds and other precious stones were embedded. I knew in my heart that this was the new earth and that the city lying in splendor before me was the New Jerusalem-the city of God as it will come down to earth.
