Chapter 25 - Renovation of
the Earth Larkin,
Dispensational Truth
Immediately after the destruction of
Satan and his armies, John says, "I
saw a 'Great White Throne' and Him
that sat on it, from whose face the
Earth and the Heaven (atmosphere of
the earth) fled away; and there was no
place for them." Rev. 20:11.
John then describes the Judgment of
the "Great White Throne," and then
adds-
"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."Rev. 21:1.

Of such a change in this earth we are
not ignorant, but John does not tell us
how it is to come to pass. But the
Apostle Peter does.
"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. (The Great
White Throne judgment)- 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
Future Home of the
Heavenly Bridegroom,
Branham, 64-0802

"0i, aftei time has been fulfilleu, all sin is
gone, taken away, at the Nillennium, at
the gieat White Thione }uugment. (A
type, by the Boly uhost.) Aftei the woilu
is on fiie anu baptizeu, its baptism of
holy Fiie fiom Beaven; all sin is gone, all
geims is gone, all uevils is gone, all
temptations is gone, all evil is gone."





"Now, }ohn explains the change anu the
com-... how it comes about... Be uoesn't
explain it, iathei, but Petei uoes. }ohn
just saiu, "I saw New Beavens anu New
Eaith; fiist heavens anu fiist eaith was
passeu away. Theie was no moie sea."


"Be uoesn't explain it, iathei, but Petei
uoes."


"But the heavens anu the eaith, which
now aie, by the same woiu aie kept in
stoie, ieseiveu unto fiie against the uay
of juugment anu the peiuition of ungouly
men."

"But the uay of the Loiu will come as a
thief in the night; in... which the heavens
anu the eaith, with a gieat noise... shall
pass away with a gieat noise, anu the
elements shall melt with feivent heat,
anu the eaith also anu the woiks that aie
theiein shall buin up."

That Are Therein Shall be Burned Up.

"Nevertheless we, according to His
Promise, (Isa. 65:17; Isa. 66:22) look
for a New Heavens and a New Earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2Pet.
3:7-9.
It is clear that Peter is referring to the
same event as John, for he says it is to
be at the "Day of judgment and
Perdition of Ungodly Men, " and that
is the "Great White Throne judgment"
of the Wicked Dead.

A surface reading of the above
passage would lead one to believe that
the earth as a planet, and the sidereal
heavens, are to be destroyed by fire
and pass away. But a careful study of
the Scriptures will show us that this is
not so, that what is to happen is, that
this present earth, and the atmosphere
surrounding it, is to be Renovated by
Fire, so that its exterior surface shall
be completely changed, and all that sin
has brought into existence, such as
thorns and thistles, disease germs,
insect pests, etc., shall be destroyed,
and the atmosphere purified and
forever freed from evil spirits and
destructive agencies.
That this is the correct view of the
passage is clear from Peter's words in
verses 5 and 6.




" Neveitheless we, accoiuing to his
piomise, look foi new heavens anu a
new eaith, wheiein uwelleth
iighteousness."



"Now, we unueistanu heie that these
two Sciiptuies... The ieason I ieau
Seconu Petei the Siu chaptei, anu
compaieu it with Revelations 21, they
both heie aie speaking the same subject,
but }ohn nevei--nevei wiote it out like
Petei uiu. See."


Now, so the olu woilu fiamewoik was
not uestioyeu by the watei. The woilu
was only washeu off. That got its
baptism. It was baptizeu.
So will the fiamewoik iemain, though it
be buint by Fiie. It uon't uestioy the
eaith, see, it just uestioys the sin that's
on it.



















"By the word of God the heavens were
of old, and the earth standing out of
the water and in the water; whereby
the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, PERISHED."
The world that the Apostle is referring
to here, was not the "Antediluvian
World" that was changed by the
"Flood, " but to the "Primeval World,
" mentioned in Gen. 1:1, and which
was made waste and void by a Flood
that completely submerged it.Gen. 1:2.
See the Chapter on "Rightly Dividing
the Word."
The Apostle Peter divides the history
of the earth into three periods. The
period before the earth was made
"formless and void, " or the "Primeval
Earth, " which he calls "the world that
Then Was; " the present period which
he calls "the heavens and the earth
which "Are Now, " and in which there
has been no great change since the
restoration of the earth, described
in Gen. 1:3-2:1; and the New Heaven
and Earth which is yet future. 2Pet.
3:5-7, 2Pet. 3:13.
Now as the Framework of the
"Primeval Earth" was not destroyed by
its "Watery Bath, " so the Framework
of the "Present Earth" is not to be
destroyed by its "Baptism of Fire."
This is confirmed by the Apostle's use
of the Greek word "Cosmos, " which




Wheieby the woilu that then was, being
oveifloweu with watei, peiisheu:





Beie, the apostle, in Seconu Petei heie,
the 2nu chaptei, anu the Sth anu the...
anu the Sth anu 6th veise. Yes, I've got it.
Be iefeis to thiee stages of the eaith.
See, he--he gets thiee stages of it. Notice
how he biings them. "The olu woilu
stoou out of the watei," now, that was
the anteuiluvian woilu. Now, the one
that is, the piesent woilu we live in now,
calleu it a "woilu." "The olu woilu that
stoou out of watei," uenesis 1:1. Now
anu the "woilu" that is now piesent. Anu
then, again, he iefeis to anothei one,
"the woilu that is to come," the New
Woilu. Thiee woilus; thiee stages of the
woilu.










Be baptizeu it in watei, aftei the
anteuiluvian uestiuction. Sheu Bis Bloou
upon it, to sanctify it anu claim it. It's Bis.
Satan tiieu to say, "I'll give it to You." Be
saiu, "No, sii, I'll buy it." Let it be a
witness. Be was lifteu up, foi an ensign,
that Be bought it. Be puichaseu it. But
now it has to go thiough a baptism of
means the "land surface, the
inhabitableness of the earth, and not
the earth as a planet. It is the exterior
surface of the earth then that is to
"Melt With Fervent Heat" and the
"Works Therein Burnt Up." The
intense heat will cause the gases in the
atmosphere to explode, which the
Apostle describes as the "heavens (the
atmosphere) passing away with a great
noise." The result will be the
destruction of all animal and vegetable
life, and the alteration of the earth's
surface.
The Greek work "Parerchomai, "
translated "pass away, " does not mean
"termination of existence" or
"annihilation, " but means to pass
from "one condition of existence to
another." The Apostle Paul in his letter
to Titus, (Titus 3:, Titus 3:5), speaking
of the "Regeneration" of men, uses the
same word that Jesus used when,
in Matt. 19:28, He promised His
Disciples that in the "Regeneration, "
that is in the "New Earth, " they
should sit on "Twelve Thrones"
judging the "Twelve Tribes" of Israel.
Now no one supposes that the
Regeneration of a man is his
Annihilation." It is simply a Renewing
Process by which he is brought back
to the condition of man spiritually as
before the Fall. The word
"Restitution" in Acts 3:21, means the
same thing. The"Dissolving" of which
Peter speaks, (2Pet. 3:11), is the same
word Jesus used when He said of the
colt-"Loose him and let him go." The
teaching of the Scriptures is, that
Fiie, holy Fiie fiom uou, which cleanses
the eaith anu the heavens aiounu it.
Then, it's puichaseu so that the
ieueemeu can live on it, live in it in
peace. Notice, the baptism of Fiie is to
cleanse it fiom sin, fiom sickness, fiom
uisease geims, fiom sinneis, fiom the
uevil anu all of his gioup.


It is only the atmospheies aiounu it, anu
the sin that's upon the eaith, that will be
uestioyeu. See. Now, we iealize that the
heavens means the "atmospheies
above." See.


Now, many of you that want to put uown
this woiu, the uieek woiu, "pass away."
It comes fiom the woiu... I hau to finu it.
I thought, "Bow is this woilu going to
pass away, anu yet we'ie going to live on
it." But if you'll notice, some of you
people that wants to put it uown, I'll
spell it foi you. I coulun't pionounce it,
p-a-i-e-i-e-c-h-o-m-i-a. I uon't know how
to pionouce it. Now, that way, as I saiu,
when I get... The inspiiation stiikes me
foi something, then I go back to finu out
the woiu. Now, heie, I can't spell the
woiu, oi I can't--I can't pionounce it.
But, in that, the Loiu has still give me a
way. I go anu finu out what that woiu
means, then I got it. See. Then I got it,
again. See. 17S Beavens anu eaith will
pass away, now, this woiu means,
"passing fiom one foim to anothei." It
uoes not mean "annihilation," as the
English woiu woulu mean, pass away,
it's annihilateu. But the Bebiew woiu, oi
the uieek heie, uoes not mean pass
away; it means, "fiom passing fiom one
thing to anothei." Look, but, "to pass
fiom one conuition," it says, "to anothei."

"Creation" is at present in a "State of
Captivity, " waiting to be Loosed from
the Bondage that sin has caused. Rom.
8:19-21.
As to the "Departing as a Scroll" of
the heavens, and the "Flying Away" of
the earth and heavens, of which John
speaks, (Rev. 6:14; Rev. 20:11), a
total disappearance of all the material
worlds is not at all the idea, for he tells
us that afterwards he saw-the New
Jerusalem coming down out of
Heaven, and nations living and
walking in the Light of it on the earth,
and the Kings of the Earth bringing
their Glory and Honor Into It." Rev.
21:2, Rev. 21:24.


The Holy Spirit by Solomon said,
"One generation passeth away and
another generation cometh, but the
Earth Abideth Forever."Eccl. 1:4. It is
specifically promised that "the Meek
shall Inherit the Earth, " (Matt. 5:5),
and that the Children of Israel shall
dwell in it forever, (Isa. 60:21 ;
66:22), and if God's people are to
inhabit it forever, it must EXIST
FOREVER. It is clear then that this
earth as a planet is not to be
annihilated, but that it is to be Cleaned
and Purified by Fire and made fit for
the home of those peoples and nations
that are to occupy it after its
renovation.
This earth that has been consecrated





We ieau in }ohn, ieau }ohn in Revelation

Solomon was the thione inheiit of Baviu,
on eaith, but showeu that kinguom hau

love with the Biiue. See.
















by the Presence of the Son of God,
where the costliest sacrifice that the
Universe could furnish was offered up
on Calvary to redeem a race, for
which God has a great future, is too
sacred a place to ever be blotted out or
cease to exist, for it is the most
cherished orb in the mind of God of
all His great creation.
The New Heaven and the New
Earth.
With the "Renovation of the Earth by
Fire, " Time does not end and Eternity
begin, for we read in the New
Testament of a "Perfect Kingdom"
that Christ shall surrender to the
Father, so that God may be "All in
All." 1Cor. 15:24-26. A Kingdom in
which-
"At the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow, of things in Heaven, and things
in Earth, and things Under the Earth,
and that every tongue shall confess
that Jesus Christ IS LORD." Phil. 2:9-
1 Phil. 2:1.
This describes a Kingdom in which all
things Celestial, Terrestrial and
Infernal are to be subject to the SON
OF MAN.
Now this "Perfect Kingdom" cannot
be the "Millennial Kingdom, " for that,
as we have seen, ends in Apostasy and
Rebellion. It must therefore mean
another Kingdom on the Other Side of
the Millennial Kingdom, " and as there
is to be no other Kingdom between the
"Millennial Kingdom" and the
Its watei baptism wasn't sufficient to

that was the--the pieuestinateu, inheiit

City with the Thione in top. Revelation
21:2S, "Anu they neeu no light, foi the

}esus sets upon Bis Thione heie, as oui

Ballelujah!








Theie you aie, theie is the paiauises of
uou, the Light of the woilu, that peifect
Kinguom. Not the seventh uay; the
Eteinal one! See. Not the Nillennium;
the New Eaith! See. While it's going
thiough the Nillennium, it's going
thiough its sanctifying piocess, but still
must be buineu. See. Which, the Bloou
"Renovation of the Earth by Fire, " it
must mean a Kingdom that is to
follow the "Renovation of the Earth by
Fire, " and that Kingdom is the
Kingdom of the "New Heaven and the
New Earth, " which we call on the
"Rightly Dividing the Word" Chart,
the "Perfect Kingdom."


If, as some hold, the "Seventh Day" of
the "Creative Week" corresponds to
the Millennium, then we have a
prophecy of the Dispensation that
follows the "Renovation of the Earth"
in the "Morrow After the
Sabbath." Lev. 23:36.
The Seventh day of Genesis had to do
with the "Old Creation, " which was
imperfect, but the "Eighth Day" has to
do with the "New Creation, " which is
perfect, for it was on the "Eighth Day,
" or the "First Day of the week, " that
our Lord arose from the dead, and 50
days later, on the "Eighth Day, " that
the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost.
The "Eighth Day" cannot point to the
Millennium, for that is represented by
the "Seventh Day, " neither can it
point to Eternity, for a day is a Period
of Time, while Eternity is Timeless.
The "Eighth Day" must then point to a
"period of time" between the
"Renovation of the Earth" and
Eternity, or what we are pleased to
call the "Perfect Age."
It is also a Dispensation, called in Eph.
ieueemeu the people, it shows this
memoiial that it's... the piice is paiu, that
thousanu yeais. But then it has to be
cleanseu by Fiie; just like you weie, Bis
uelegates of this City, the uelegation.
4S2 So if you uie oi if you live, what
uiffeience uoes it make. If Be comes
touay, oi Be comes a hunuieu yeais, oi a
thousanu yeais, I'll only iest till my
change comes.



Anu notice, not the peifect woilu, this
Nillennium, it's a type of the seventh
uay. Then comes the White Thione
}uugment. See, we still have juugment.
We'ie still in time, in the Nillennium. It's
a uay, one thousanu yeais. It's a time
element. Not, uon't get that mixeu up
with the New Eaith, now, 'cause it's not.


Notice, seven uays, only has to uo with
the olu cieation, woilu time. Seven uays,
that's the Nillennium, the iest uay. As
uou laboieu six uays, iesteu the seventh;
the Chuich labois six uays, anu iests the
seventh, but you'ie still in time element.
I ain't speaking of the Eteinal.
219 But, you see, theie is no such a
thing as eight uays; you go back to the
fiist uay again, see, the fiist uay.












1:10-
"The Dispensation of the Fulness of
Times."
That is, a "Full-Time Dispensation."
The intimation is, that all the previous
Dispensations were not "Full-Time"
Dispensations, that God had to cut
them short on account of sin.
As to the duration of this Dispensation
of the "Fulness of Times" we are not
in the dark. Israel is to have a large
place in that Dispensation.
"For as the New Heavens and the New
Earth, which I will make shall remain
before me, saith the Lord, so shall
your (Israel's) Seed and your Name
REMAIN." Isa. 66:22.
And as the duration of God's Covenant
with Israel was extended in Deut.
7:9 to a "Thousand Generations" or
33, 000 years, we have an intimation
that the "Dispensation of the Fulness
of Times" will last for at least that
length of time.
Let us look at some of the
characteristics of that Age or
Dispensation.
There Will Be No Sin.
All the powers of Evil will have been
expelled from the earth and
imprisoned in the "Lake of Fire"
forever.
Now, in Ephesians 1:1u, it's calleu... Now,
if you'ie putting it uown, Ephesians 1:1u,
is calleu, not a uispensation, not the
seventh uay. It's calleu, "The fullness of
time." Anu when "the fullness of time"
has come, that's when time has been
fulfilleu. When theie is no moie time,
then you go into Eteinity, aftei the
seventh chuich age is ovei, anu it is;
Luthei's age is ovei, Nethouist age is
ovei, Pentecostal age is ovei. Anu now
you go into (what.) Eteinity; no moie
seven's, no moie thiee's, no moie othei.
They'ie in Eteinity, wheie theie is no
such time as numbeis, anu times, anu
things. Amen! 0h, my! You see it now.

Now, Isaiah, the piophet, was one of the
piophets that wiote exactly the entiie
Bible in his piophecy. Be staits out with
the cieation; in the miuule of his Book,
about the 4uth chaptei, comes aiounu
}ohn the Baptist, the New Testament;
anu winus up heie, in his Book, in the
Revelations, in the Nillennium. Theie is
sixty-six books in the Bible, anu theie is
sixty-six chapteis in Isaiah. Be wiote a
complete commentaiy.











In the New Eaith anu New Beavens, will
nevei be blackeneu again, when this
New Eaith is to come. The uevil will be
bounu... Satan, he is still loose now; he is
accusei. But in the New Eaith, he will be
bounu anu cast into the Lake of Fiie, in


The atmosphere of the New Earth will
afford no lurking place for disease
germs, for there shall be no more
sickness or death, and health will be
preserved by the use of the leaves of
the "Tree of Life." The heavens shall
not robe themselves in angry tempests
and sombre blackness, nor flash with
the thunderbolts of Divine wrath, nor
cast plagues of hail on the earth, nor
cause devouring floods of water or
destructive wind storms. It may be that
in that day, "a Mist shall go up from
the earth and water the whole face of
the ground" as in Eden, for we read
that there shall be-"No More Sea, " not
that there shall not be large bodies of
water, for the river that flows through
the street of the New City must have
an outlet, but that there shall be no
great oceans.
The earth shall also put on its Edenic
beauty and glory. There shall no
longer be thorns and thistles, no
parasites or destructive insects, and
labor shall be a delight. No serpents
shall hiss among its flowers, nor
savage beasts lie in ambush to destroy
and devour. Its sod shall not be heaped
over newly made graves, nor its soil
moistened with tears of sorrow and
shame, or saturated with human blood
in fratricidal strife. The meek shall
inherit the earth, and from north to
south, and from east to west, it shall
blossom like the rose and be clothed
this holy Fiie.


Right heie is wheie we live. Now notice,
thistles, geims, all sicknesses anu things,
will be completely taken away. All this,
its existence that's in the eaith now,
man-maue systems, politics, sin, all kinus
of evil spiiits that the woilu is
contaminateu with, anu all the heavens
above us in heie, is contaminateu with
evil spiiit. Now we'ie going to go ueep
anu long, in this, see.















Beavens anu eaith have met; uou anu
man is ieconcileu. A iestoieu Euen has
begun; see, all the cuise is gone.
27S }ust like, all the cuise of sin is
gone when the Boly uhost accepts you.
See, you uon't accept It; It accepts you,
see, 'cause It's uou's attiibute. See, if It's
the Boly uhost, means, uou's Spiiit; anu
it's the attiibute, the thought of uou, has
accepteu you because that you weie
oiuaineu foi that puipose. See. Yet, you
was boin in sin; but uou hau that
attiibute, anu heie you expiesseu
youiself heie on eaith, anu Be comes
uown anu gets you. See, you'ie back
heie; heie is wheie you belong. See. See,
sin has lost its powei. That's iight. The
with the verdure of Paradise Restored.
But there is not only to be a New
Heaven and a New Earth, there is to
be a New City. This City is the place
Jesus said He was going back to
Heaven to prepare for His Bride the
Church. John 14:2-4. It is just such a
place as we would expect the Divine
Architect to design and build. The
description of it is surpassingly grand.
It is of Celestial origin. It is not
Heaven itself, for it comes down "out
of Heaven." No mortal hands are
employed in its construction. It will
take up its abode on the New Earth,
and we see in this why this present
Earth will have to be renovated by
fire, and why there shall be "no more
sea, " for the New City is 12, 000
furlongs, or 1500 miles square, and
would reach from Maine to Florida,
and from the Atlantic Seaboard 600
miles to the west of the Mississippi
River. In other words would occupy
more than one-half of the United
States.
We are told that the length and breadth
and the height of it are equal. This
does not necessarily imply that it is a
Cube, for there is another geometrical
figure that has equal dimensions, and
that is a Pyramid. This is its probable
form, for a wall 144 cubits, or 216 feet
thick, could not support a wall 1500
miles high, and a wall that high would
hide the pyramidal part of the City
from view.
The 144 cubits (Rev. 21:17) then must
uesiie of sin has uone gone fiom youi
heait, when the Boly Spiiit comes in. You
aie a iestoieu peison.






Now, the Bivine Aichitect has uesigneu
the New City, wheie Be will live with Bis
Biiue, just to Bei touch. No wonuei the
apostle saiu, "Eye has not seen, eai has
not heaiu, oi neithei has evei enteieu
the heait of man." Let's see if we can
piobe into it just foi a moment, see what
it's going to look like. The Bivine
Aichitect has uesigneu this foi Bis
Beloveu. See. 0h, what a place it must
be, when, Bivine Natuie, a Bivine
Aichitect has uesigneu it foi a Bivine
attiibute that's been Bivinely
pieuestinateu by a Bivine uou Who--
Who is the authoi of Bivine Life! What
will that City look like! Think of it.






Now, now, that uoesn't necessaiy mean,
by being equal... It saiu, "Anu the walls
anu the founuation weie equal," that
uoesn't necessaiy mean that it's a cube
oi squaie. Theie is anothei geogiaphical
measuie, that the uimensions aie the
same, that is, a pyiamiu. Fouisquaie,
"lieth fouisquaie," anu the walls weie
the same.



Anu, in the gates, they hau foui gates set
just exactly like the temple in the
refer to the "height" of the wall. In this
wall are 12 gates, 3 on each side, each
gate of one Pearl, and these gates are
never closed.
The wall itself is of jasper, and the
foundations are garnished with all
manner of precious stones. The
foundations contain the names of the
Twelve Apostles of the Lamb, and
over the gates are the names of the
Twelve Tribes of Israel. What a
magnificent spectacle such a city must
present from a distance with its
pyramidal top surmounted by the light
of the "Glory of God."
"For the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine in it, for
the 'Glory of God did lighten it, and
THE LAMB is The LIGHT
THEREOF." Rev. 21:23.
"And the gates of it shall not be shut at
all by day, for there shall be No Night
There." Rev. 21:25.
This refers to the City only, and not to
the outlying parts of the New Earth,
for there will be day and night
wherever the light of the City does not
reach.
The Pyramidal part of the City will
doubtless be in the centre of the City,
and probably not occupy over one-half
of the surface area, leaving the
remainder to be divided up into
boulevards and broad avenues, with
numerous parks and residential
sections. We are told that the City
itself is of Pure Gold, Like Unto Clear
wilueiness, like the tent was in the
wilueiness. Notice each one, hau--hau
the apostles, thiee on each siue, twelve
apostles. Each... Anu it was one hunuieu

making up that wall that was aiounu the
City.








But this 0ne uoesn't have any. The Bible
saiu, "Anu theie was no temple theie.
But the Loiu uou anu the Lamb is the
Temple of it." The Lamb is the Light. The
Lamb is the Temple. The Lamb is the
Thione. The Lamb is the Life. Be is that
Temple. See, all these temples have a
object they'ie woishiping; but, in this
City, Be is the object. Be is with Bis
people. Bis Spiiit Light floous the
pyiamiu City.






Anu all up-anu-uown heie, will be the

of Life will be blooming in eveiy yaiu;
anu beai Its fiuits, twelve times a yeai, a
Glass. Rev. 21:18. If this refers to the
houses and homes of the inhabitants,
then the redeemed are to live in
palaces of Transparent Gold, and the
streets are to be of the same
material.Rev. 21:18, Rev. 21:21. We
cannot imagine a city with such
dwellings and streets to be unclean or
lack beauty.
The streets are to be lined with trees,
as are also the banks of a wonderful
river. These trees are not mere shade
trees, but beautiful Fruit Trees, called
the "TREE OF LIFE." that bear
Twelve Kind of Fruit, a different kind
each month. The fruit of these trees is
for Overcomers Only.
"To him that overcometh will I give to
eat of the 'Tree of Life' which is in the
midst of the Paradise of God." Rev.
2:7.
The leaves of the trees are for the
Healing of the Nations that shall
occupy the New Earth. Not that there
will be any sickness, but to preserve
them in health, as Adam would have
been preserved in health if he had
eaten of the Tree of Life in the Garden
of Eden. Gen. 3:22-24.
The wonderful river is called the River
of the "Water of Life, " because of its
"life giving" properties. Earthly
streams have their source in some
mountain spring, but the "River of
Life" has its source in the Throne of
God. Rev. 22:1.
Somewhere on that "Pyramidal
changeu fiuit eveiy month.










"0veicomeis only, that oveicome the

"Be'll have a iight to the Tiee of Life, to

probably on its summit, will rest "The
Throne of God," from under the seat
of which shall flow down in cascades,
from terrace to terrace, the crystal
stream that shall feed that wonderful

Whoever heard of an earthly city
without some place of worship, be it
heathen or Christian, but the
wonderful thing about the New
Jerusalem is, that it has no Temple.
Why need a Temple when the object
of worship is present, for "The Lord
God Almighty and the Lamb Are the
Temple of It." In fact the whole City
itself will be a Temple.



"Then the 'Tabernacle of God' shall be
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. 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." Rev. 21:3, Rev. 21:4.

The Bible saiu, "Anu theie was no temple

The Lamb is the Temple. The Lamb is the

This means that Heaven shall have
come down to Earth, and that this
earth will become the RESIDENCE
OF GOD.


Outside the walls of this beautiful
City, spread over the surface of the
"New Earth, " nations shall dwell,
whose kings shall bring their glory
and honor into it, but nothing that will
defile or work abomination shall ever
enter in through those "Gates of Pearl,
" for there will be no sin on that New
Earth. Rev. 21:24-26.
Who Are to Be the Happy
Inhabitants of This New Earth?
Where did the people who inhabited
the earth after the Flood come from?
They were the lineal descendants of
Noah, how did they escape the Flood?
They were saved in an Ark which God
Provided. Gen. 6:13-15. Shall not God
then during the "Renovation of the
Earth by Fire, " in some manner, not
as yet revealed, take off righteous
representatives of the Millennial
nations that He purposes to save, and
when the earth is again fit to be the
abode of men, place them back on the
New Earth, that they may increase and
multiply and replenish it, as Adam
(Gen. 1:27, Gen. 1:28), and Noah




Notice, "The tabeinacle of uou will be

Aftei Noah came out of the aik, notice
what was saiu to Noah aftei he come out
of the floou, just like it was with Auam
befoie. Aftei he come out, upon the new
eaith; saiu, "Nultiply anu ieplenish the
eaith," aftei the floou. Notice, "was to be
fiuitful, ieplenish the eaith," as Auam at
the fiist.
Now you can see exactly heie. Now
listen ieal close. Auam was to "multiply
anu ieplenish the eaith." That iight.
Noah was, aftei the new, (woilu was
uestioyeu), was to "multiply anu
ieplenish the eaith." uet it. Now can't
you see what the seipent's "seeu" is.
What ieplenisheu the eaith. You get it.
All iight. You see how Satan got to Eve
(Gen. 9:1), were told to multiply and
replenish the present earth.
If God could take off Elijah for the
purpose of sending him back again to
herald the Second Coming of the
Lord, surely God can take off
representative men from the nations
and put them back again on the New
Earth to repopulate it. If this is not
God's plan then we have one type in
the Scriptures that has no antitype, for
Noah's Ark, which is a type, has no
antitype unless it be this.
It is clear from the Scriptures that God
does not purpose to create a new race
for the New Earth, His promise as to
Israel is that the descendants of
Abraham shall inherit this earth for a
"thousand generations, " or 33, 000
years; now this is not possible unless
they are transplanted to the New
Earth. And this is just what God has
promised.



"For as the New Heavens and the New
Earth, which I will make, shall remain

It seems clear from the presence of the
Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden,
that God intended the human race to
populate the Earth, and when it
became too thickly populated, to use
the surplus population to colonize
other spheres. Our "Solar System" is
only in its infancy. The Earth is the
only one of its planets as yet habitable.
Where are the inhabitants for the other
planets to come from? Think you that
the planets of our Solar System, and
the planets of other solar systems, of
which the stars are the suns, were
made simply to adorn the heavens for
our little earth? God does not plan
things on a Small Scale, and it
magnifies His power and wisdom to
believe that He created man in His
own likeness, a created being higher
than the angels, and gifted with the
power of Procreation, that He might
by means of him populate the
Universe. This magnifies the Scheme
of Redemption. Think you that God
gave His Son to die on Calvary just to
redeem a few millions of the human
race? Why He could have blotted
them out, as He probably did the
Preadamite race, and created a new
race, and Satan would have laughed
because he had the second time
blocked God's plan for the peopling of
this earth.
No, God will not permit Satan to
block His plan for peopling this earth
with a Sinless Human Race. The death
of Christ was not merely to redeem a

few millions of the human race, but to
redeem the Earth, and the Race Itself
from the curse of sin, and the
dominion of Satan.
The Apostle James tells us that we are
only the "First Fruits" of His
Creatures." James 1:18. What then
must the HARVEST BE?
The Universe is young yet. We are
only in the beginning of things, for
"Of the increase of His government
and peace THERE SHALL BE NO
END." Isa. 9:7.
When this Earth shall have gone
through its "Baptism of Fire, " and
shall be again fit for the occupancy of
man, the representatives of the "Saved
Nations" (Rev. 21:24) will be men and
women in whom no taint of sin will
remain, and who cannot therefore
impart it to their offspring, who will
be like the offspring of Adam and Eve
would have been if they had not
sinned. This magnifies the whole
scheme of redemption, and justifies
God in the creation of the human race.
The Great Abdication.
The "Millennial Age" and the "Perfect
Age, " between which the Earth is
Renovated by Fire, make up the "Age
of Ages, " which period is called the
KINGDOM OF THE SON OF MAN.
At the close of the "Age of Ages"
when Christ "shall have put down all
rule and all authority and power. For
He must reign till He hath put all









enemies under his feet, " then Christ
as the Son of Man, shall surrender the
Kinjgdom to God, that God may be
ALL IN ALL. 1Cor. 15:24-26. This is
known as The Great Abdication.
There have been many abdications of
thrones in the world's history, but none
like this. Thrones have been abdicated
for various reasons. Some have been
forced, others voluntary. Some on
account of physical infirmity, or to
secure some particular successor. But
Christ will not abdicate for any of
these reasons. He will abdicate
because He has Finished the Work
That Was Given Him to Do as the Son
of Man. He will not surrender His
Human Nature, but His title "Son of
Man" will merge back into that of
"Son of God" so that the Divine
Godhead shall thereafter act in its
Unity, and God shall be "ALL IN
ALL." This will end what we
understand by Time. Then Eternity
will begin, which will be divided up
into the Ages of the Ages. Of its end
there is no hint.
