There's a New World coming!

Have you ever wished for a new planet that you could go live on just to be rid of the troubles of this world - a world where people did right instead of wrong? Well, in the end of 2nd Peter, we find:

Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. (2Peter3:13; NKJV)

Hey! It's not just me!  This is encouraging in these present times. Not only do we wish it, but He has promised it!  There's a new world coming - a better one.  This reminds me of the Nina Simone song, New World Coming:

There's a new world commin'

And it's just around the bend

There's a brand new mornin'

That belongs to you and me

A new world commin'

The one we had vision of

And its commin' in peace

Is commin in joy

and commin in love...yea...yea...yea

There's a new world commin'

And its just around the bend

There's a new day dawning

the one that's for you and me

A new world commin'

The one we've had vision of

and its commin in peace

commin' in love

Commin' in peace

Commin' in joy

and commin in peace

commin' in joy

And commin in love

And I saw another sign in Heaven

Great and marvelous

Seven angels having the seven last plagues

for in them is filled up the Wrath of God

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire

And them that had gotten the victory over the beast

And over his image

and over his mark

and over his name,

stand on the sea of glass

with the harps of God all around them.

There's a new world commin'

and its just around the bend

There's a new day dawning

That middle section comes from Revelation 15, if you were wondering.

.
With that New World in mind, turn back to 2nd Peter:

Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? (2Pet3:11-12;NKJV; emphasis mine)

...and from there to the end of John's Revelation:

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Rev 22:20;NKJV)
