Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.” Revelation 21:1-3 NLT
There are a lot of stories in the Bible. Added together, they form one grand narrative. This narrative is not fictional, but true. If you were asked what the grand narrative is all about, you would have to say that it is all about God and His relationship to His creation. In effect, it is the story of everything, because there is nothing other than God and His creation. It begins in Genesis 1 with the story of God’s creation of heaven and earth and it ends here in Revelation 21 with the story of a new heaven and a new earth.
Have a great day.
