New Heavens And A New Earth

     I began in Jeremiah chapter one verses four through eight:

     Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    
     "Before I formed you in the womb
             I knew you;
       Before you were born I sanctified
             you;
       I ordained you a prophet to the
             nations."

       Then said I:

     "Ah LORD God!
       Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a
               youth."

       But the Lord said to me:

     "Do not say, 'I am a youth,'
       For you shall go to all whom I send
             you,
       And whatever I command you,
             you shall speak.
       Do not be afraid of their faces,
       For I am with you to deliver you,"
             says the LORD.

       God knows us all - FROM THE WOMB.  Kinda loud, but I know it got you attention.  Also, as I am hopefully learning, if God asks you to do something, you do it - no matter who you are, age, religion.  I figure that God wants me to post His Word, for now.  It seems, for all of us, that God is preparing us for something - the way I see it any way.  Life is about learning, and we seem to learn differently, but the same in the way He wants us to learn.   We are all here for Him.
       So then I went to 2 Peter, I fixed my entry but also wanted to read, especially the third chapter.  The thirteenth verse got me:

        Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

       I did some research which lead me to Isaiah 65:17 -

       "For behold, I create new heavens
              and a new earth;
        And the former shall not be
              remembered or come to mind.

        This is probably related to "New" Jerusalem and the Second Coming.  But hold on, God lets me understand differently.  I have been researching the earth and the three ages related to Christianity.  I have asked God to help me understand, so I am not finished on the subject.  Tell God that you love Him.

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make his face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

     Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.  Please read your Bible.
