146 | Advent Revelations | The Catholic Midlife Podcast

Revelations 21 beautifully and dramatically describes a new heaven and a new earth, with the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, and God coming to dwell with His people. “Behold, I am making all things new.” Our ideas of the end-game, the point of it all, the final-final Where All This Is Going matters because it has a big impact on how we live now. You are destined to live in eternity in a (new) earth seamlessly integrated with a (new) heaven where God will come down to dwell with all His people. Once you get your imagination around that, it will change your perspective. Yes, it will change your perspective on everything. What a contrast this vision is with the mistaken idea that life is something we have to simply suffer through, to get over with, to endure, to just sweat it out because all this world is going to be annihilated anyways. Life requires forward momentum. Your imagination about where you are going - your vision for the future - starts to create your future because starting NOW, picking up the thoughts, habits, and way of being that you WILL have after your vision becomes true is a powerful driver for change. We have a destiny as the people of God. Let’s step into that now.
