Day 192 – May 9, 2024: Revelation 19-22 and Psalms 85-86 and Isaiah 60

If you want to know where we get the phrases “pearly gates” and “streets of gold” when we are describing heaven you need look no further. Revelation 21 contains much of what we imagine when heaven is talked about as this idyllic place. But the part that I use most consistently is the beginning of the chapter which describes the promise of what it will be like as a result of the victory of Jesus on the cross. Death will be no more, he will wipe away every tear from our eye. These descriptions provide much joy and consolation for one how is mourning the death of a loved one.
