(GWT)
Revelation 21:1 - 2 New heavens and new Earth.
New Jerusalem--Holy City.
Isaiah 65:17 "...I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come
into mind."
Revelation 21:3 God is with men, and he will dwell with
them,
Revelation 21:4 No more death,

Revelation 21:5 I make all things new.
Revelation 21:6 "And he said unto me, IT IS DONE."
1 Cor 15:27 is now fulfilled (Rev. 21:6)

Isaiah 66:23 "... shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the LORD."
Isaiah 66:24 And they shall
go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed
against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched;
and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
From scripture, Jesus Christ is the mediator, the propitiation of our
sins. Once we are resurrected unto eternal life, we will have an
incorruptible, immortal body that cannot die. 1Corinthians 15:27
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he
is excepted, which did put all things under
him.
Jesus Christ's mediatorial reign is over, not His Kingdom,
His righteousness, His immortality, etc. Redemption of sin is concluded.
If satan is forever lost in the Lake of Fire, then the complete presence
of sin is gone! The one who had the power of death is satan, who
is thrown in to the Lake of Fire for eternity. satan will no longer
be loosed from the Lake of Fire or death would still have power.
Revelation 21:23, Revelation 22:1 and Revelation 22:5 all signify that
the Lamb of God is the light of this new Holy City. There is no sin
there. In 22:5, we see that the "LORD GOD" gives them light.
Jesus Christ is one with the Father. (John 10:30, John 17:11, etc.)
The Father is in Jesus Christ(the Son) and Jesus Christ is in the Father
(John 10:38). They are literally one. Both Jesus Christ and
the Father give the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians 1:23, Colossians 3:11
and 1 Corinthians 12:6, God's attribute's are identical to the Son, God
is "all in all" and so is the Son "all in all." It is the same God
which works (1Corinthians 12:6).
1Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then
shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under
him, that God may be all in all.
Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body,
the fulness of him that filleth
all in all.
Colossians 3:11 "...but Christ [is] all,
and in all."
1Corinthians 12:6 "...the same God
which worketh all in all."
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away.
2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new
heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not
again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first
resurrection.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath
no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ,
and shall reign with him a thousand years. (this is for all believers in
Christ Jesus, death has not been conquered here yet).
Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in
the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to
gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand
of the sea.
In verse Revelation 16:3, all died in the sea but then in Revelation 20:13 below, "the sea gave up the DEAD which WERE in it..." This is the resurrection of all(remaining) whom were not part of the 1000 year reign with Jesus Christ. This is prior to the judgment of all. The scriptures are crystal clear about this.
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon
the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every
living soul died in the sea.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were
in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which
were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
(all are resurrected here that were not in the first resurrection, which
is the "resurrection of the just." This is the resurrection
of the unjust.
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
1Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive. (here "all"
is referring to those
who are remaining that were not part of the 1000 year
reign.)
1Corinthians 15:24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered
up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put
down all rule and all authority and power.
Isaiah 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering
cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
Isaiah 25:8 he will swallow up death in victory; and
the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces;
and the rebuke of his people
shall he take away FROM OFF all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
(here it is very clear that the LORD is redeeming the Body of Christ which
is those of His church.
Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make
all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for
these words are true and faithful.
1Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under
his feet.
1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
The devil has the power of death. The devil is destroyed in 1
Corinthians 15:26 by the lake of fire in Revelation 20:10.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh
and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the
same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power
of death, that is, the devil;
1Corinthians 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when
he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that
he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
Revelation 21:6 "...And he said unto me, IT IS DONE..."
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away; and
there was no more sea. (refer back to Revelation 20:13,
"the sea gave up the dead which were in it...")
This is the resurrection of the rest of all that were not part of
the first resurrection during the 1000 of Jesus Christ our LORD reign.
There is literally, no more death. The sea completely emptied out all dead,
the dead meaning those that were not part of the Body of Christ.
The "no more death" is referring to the Great White Throne of Judgment
in Jesus Christ.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (this fulfill's 1 Corinthians 15:24 - 27).
Jesus Christ is the Body, he fills "all in all"
Jesus Christ is the head of all things of his church, which is
his body......The Body of Christ, which is the fulness of him. He
fills all in all. All those that are in Christ. Also, For in
him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus Christ judges
all (John 5:22). No one comes unto the Father, but by Jesus.
Whoever is in Christ the same is to the Father (1 Cor 3:23 & John 10:30)
by virtue that the Son is equal to the Father. Jesus Christ is the
resurrection. There is no resurrection after the Great White Throne
of Judgment which is the second death.
Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of
him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him
[to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.
Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision
nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ
[is] all, and in all.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness
of the Godhead bodily.
1Corinthians 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is
the same God which worketh all in all.
1Corinthians 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son:
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
1Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then
shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under
him, that God may be all in all.
(Here, the "all in all" is referring to the justified in the name of Jesus
Christ, the redeemed through his precious blood which is by faith
in Jesus Christ. Not of works of any kind. See Ephesians
2:8-9 and Titus 3:5. Fulfillment of 1
Corinthians 15:28 is seen in Revelation 21:4, Revelation 21:22 and confirmed
in Isaiah 65:17-25, Hebrews 12:26-27, Isaiah 54:16 and Isaiah 66:23.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,
the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their
God.
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the
holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
Isaiah 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless
himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in
the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles
are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and
the former shall not be remembered, nor come
into mind.
Isaiah 65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I
create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing,
and her people a joy.
Isaiah 65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:
and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard
in her, nor the voice of crying.
Note: In 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Paul introduced the human body as an illustration of the interrelationship of the members of Christ's body, the church. Paul said in the context of the Lord's Supper, "Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partakers of that one bread." From that point on through the end of chapter 12, Paul refers to the human "body" to describe the church sixteen times. It's an important image he wants us all to grasp.
1John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all[3956] of us.

by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

in one hope of your calling;

is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of
the body.

but also for conscience sake.
1Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and
all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is]
Christ.
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is
the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all
[things] he might have the preeminence.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the
which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

him, that God may be all in all.

[to be] the head over all [things] to the church,

him that filleth all in all.
Colossians 1:19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him
should all fulness dwell;
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness
of the Godhead bodily. ("Him" is of course Jesus Christ)
Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision
nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ
[is] all, and in all.
1Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized
into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether
[we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into
one Spirit.
1Corinthians 12:14 For the body is not one member, but
many.
1Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every
one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
1Corinthians 12:19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the
body?
1Corinthians 12:20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one
body.
1Corinthians 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no
need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and
members in particular.
1Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts
of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the
Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1Corinthians 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed
through the sea;
1Corinthians 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they
drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was
Christ.
1Corinthians 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for
they were overthrown in the wilderness
1Corinthians 10:17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body:
for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1Corinthians 10:20 But I [say], that the things which the Gentiles
sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that
ye should have fellowship with devils.
1Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord,
and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers
of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
1Corinthians 8:6 But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom
[are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
[are] all things, and we by him.
1Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore
put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things
are yours;
1Corinthians 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
1Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
1Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the
spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God.
1Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them],
because they are spiritually discerned.
Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of
his bones.
1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare
unto you, that God is light, and in him is
no darkness at all.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to
the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
1Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?
shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of
an harlot? God forbid.
1Corinthians 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot
is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
2Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell
in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be
my people.
2Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean
[thing]; and I will receive you,

sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
