Poof. What? Ha, yes poof. Let’s talk about this for a moment. What is going to be so different from this world and the new heaven and the new earth? I mean what is the appeal for those who are still indecisive or at this point in time choosing this world over one that is 100% all-beef patty good. Ha, no like free of everything evil. We will do a comparative list just so you get the impact of the full exchange of the life Jesus offers you. This for that. It’s simple. Rotten for great, polluted for pure, evil for perfection, pride for humility, and so on and so forth. Ok but so perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. Oh well but not yet. First lets take a look at the great exchange scriptures so that we can paint a perfect picture of what is at stake:

Google A.I. states “The Bible states "new heaven and a new earth" in Revelation 21:1 and Isaiah 66:22. It is also mentioned in Isaiah 65:17 and 2 Peter 3:13. These passages describe a future state of renewed creation where God will dwell with His people”. 

• Revelation 21:1: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea".
• Isaiah 66:22: "For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me, declares the Lord, so will your offspring and your name endure".
• Isaiah 65:17: "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind".
• 2 Peter 3:13: "But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells". 

Ok so this is a simplistic view of what is to come but in truth these are just elements created by God for us. The most significant change is human behavior. Ha, yup but yes it is. All corruptible things are brought about by our existing human behavior. So in a strange analogy, imagine the entirety of all humanity being saved on this planet. Now though I do not believe it is possible as then the choice to choose between a life of sin and one of righteousness would not exist. At least not to the measure it does now. Love could not be fully expressed without a love-contradiction. In a strange way good would not be so appreciated without the presence of evil, peace would not be the main objective of humanity without the existence of wars. 

So the problem is our appetite for extreme selfishness to oneself. Oh we have trickery up our sleaves and try to hide our hideous selves in the shadows of darkness from others least they see who we really are. Oh imagine of we could really read each others thoughts and but even though you knew you had this ability, no one else ever knew that anyone else had that ability. Strange right. But really think about how shocked we would be to see in the secret dark places of the minds of others. Everyone able to see everyone else’s thoughts but never for a minute thinking that there own thoughts could be read. Sounds like a movie but in truth even though we cannot do this, God can and we will be invited to a heavenly CEO meeting where we will have to give an account of those hidden thoughts and behaviors.
