Then I saw\\xa0a new heaven and a new earth, for\\xa0the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.\\xa02\\xa0And I saw\\xa0the holy city,\\xa0new Jerusalem,\\xa0coming down out of heaven from God,\\xa0prepared\\xa0as a bride adorned for her husband.\\xa03\\xa0And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, \\u201cBehold,\\xa0the dwelling place\\xa0of God is with man. He will\\xa0dwell with them, and they will be his people,\\xa0and God himself will be with them as their God.\\xa04\\xa0He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and\\xa0death shall be no more,\\xa0neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.\\u201d 5\\xa0And\\xa0he who was seated on the throne said, \\u201cBehold, I\\xa0am making all things new.\\u201d Also he said, \\u201cWrite this down, for\\xa0these words are trustworthy and true.\\u201d Revelation 21:1-5 (ESV)

41\\xa0There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42\\xa0So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.\\xa043\\xa0It is sown in dishonor;\\xa0it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.\\xa044\\xa0It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.\\xa045\\xa0Thus it is written,\\xa0\\u201cThe first man Adam became a living being\\u201d;\\xa0the last Adam became a\\xa0life-giving spirit.\\xa046\\xa0But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.\\xa047\\xa0The first man was from the earth,\\xa0a man of dust;\\xa0the second man is from heaven.\\xa048\\xa0As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven,\\xa0so also are those who are of heaven.\\xa049\\xa0Just\\xa0as we have borne the image of the man of dust,\\xa0we shall\\xa0also bear the image of the man of heaven. 50\\xa0I tell you this, brothers:\\xa0flesh and blood\\xa0cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.\\xa051\\xa0Behold! I tell you a mystery.\\xa0We shall not all sleep,\\xa0but we shall all be changed,\\xa052\\xa0in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For\\xa0the trumpet will sound, and\\xa0the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:41-52 (ESV)

"I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,\\xa0the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen."

51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: \\u201cDeath is swallowed up in victory.\\u201d 55 \\u201cO death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?\\u201d 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 (ESV)

25 Jesus said to her, \\u201cI am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?\\u201d 27 \\u201cYes, Lord,\\u201d she replied, \\u201cI believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.\\u201d John 11:25-27 (NIV)

Truly, truly, I say to you,\\xa0whoever hears my word and\\xa0believes him who sent me has eternal life. He\\xa0does not come into judgment, but\\xa0has passed from death to life. 25\\xa0\\u201cTruly, truly, I say to you,\\xa0an hour is coming, and is now here, when\\xa0the dead will hear\\xa0the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear\\xa0will live\\u2026 \\xa028\\xa0Do not marvel at this, for\\xa0an hour is coming when\\xa0all who are in the tombs will hear his voice\\xa029\\xa0and come out,\\xa0those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. John 5:24-29 (ESV)

\\u201cAll joy reminds.\\xa0 It is never a possession, always a desire for something longer ago or further away or still \\u201cabout to be.\\u201d\\u201d \\u2013 C.S. Lewis

He has\\xa0made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man\'s heart, yet so that he cannot\\xa0find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ESV)

\\u201cYou have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in You.\\u201d St. Augustine

18\\xa0For I consider that the sufferings of this present time\\xa0are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.\\xa019\\xa0For the creation waits with eager longing for\\xa0the revealing of the sons of God.\\xa020\\xa0For the creation\\xa0was subjected to futility, not willingly, but\\xa0because of him who subjected it, in hope\\xa021\\xa0that\\xa0the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.\\xa022\\xa0For we know that\\xa0the whole creation\\xa0has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.\\xa023\\xa0And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have\\xa0the first fruits of the Spirit,\\xa0groan inwardly as\\xa0we wait eagerly for adoption as sons,\\xa0the redemption of our bodies.\\xa024\\xa0For\\xa0in this hope we were saved. Now\\xa0hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?\\xa025\\xa0But if we hope for what we do not see, we\\xa0wait for it with patience. 26\\xa0Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For\\xa0we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but\\xa0the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.\\xa027\\xa0And\\xa0he who searches hearts knows what is\\xa0the mind of the Spirit, because\\xa0the Spirit\\xa0intercedes for the saints\\xa0according to the will of God.\\xa028\\xa0And we know that for those who love God all things work together\\xa0for good,\\xa0for\\xa0those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:18-28 (ESV)
