“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
November 9, 2026
The apostle John in the last chapters of Revelation became a spectator of conditions in the new heavens and the new earth. This is not a description of the millennium kingdom. That precedes the “forever-ness” of the heaven on earth as it will be forever. There is to be a place in our thinking of what it won’t be like in the eternal future of God’s redeemed people. The effects of sin will be erased. Negatives are used to describe the New Jerusalem. God gives us a guarantee of the truthfulness of what He has promised. Some “no-moreism” can be good for us. Let’s start with a land where we will never grow old. There will be no sickness or disease, no cancer, no more dementia, hatred, no more crime, death, pain, suffering, no more alienation from one another, no more depression, fear, worry, loneliness, murder, no-more good-byes, no more bitterness, disappointment, anger, slander, sexual abuse, fraud, theft, no more war, sadness, jealousy, slander, divorce, no more grief. All this and more because Jesus Christ will be there. He is the center of it all. Too many get fixated on the “nor-mores” and leave out the one who has made it all possible. Some want peace and quiet without the Prince of Peace. Are you in? If not, bow before the Savior and receive the forgiveness of sin He alone can give.

Reflect:
Is there a “mo more of” that is especially meaningful to you at this time? Why?
How should you handle this right now?
