Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. (Song of Solomon 1:4)
290 Nothing will ever touch that sod but holiness, the Redeemed. Oh, my! Yeah. Oh, I just feel so good. God, and His creation; and His creatures of this creation is redeemed by His Own Blood. Cleansed by His Own cleansing process; His germ-killing, sin-killing process!
291 Like if anything is sterilized, the best sterilization we’ve ever had has been fire. You can take anything and wash it with soapsuds and all these chemicals that they talk about, it still ain’t free. But you burn it once!
292 And when the holy Fire of God sterilizes the earth with the Chemicals; He has lifted His Bride, which can come into Heaven with Him, while this is going on. And comes back upon the earth again, a New Heavens and a New Earth. The cold winter can’t hurt it. The hot summers can’t hurt it. The deserts will blossom as a rose. Sin and sinners are gone.
293 God, and His creatures and creation, is dwelling together in perfect harmony. As the heavens and the earth is husband and wife, so is Christ and the Church, and they all meet in one big glorious plan of redemption and is brought right into the bosoms of God again. You see it?
294 And, in the New Earth, there is a New City. Oh, my! Now listen close. Don’t forget this. That, Jesus said, in John 14, He would go to prepare. “Let not your hearts be troubled.” When He’s going away, “I have a reason to go away. You’ve believed in God,” He said, “believe also in Me.” They couldn’t see that He was God. Said, “You’ve believed in God, now you believe in Me. And I’m going to prepare a Place for you. In My Father’s House is many mansions; in My Father’s Kingdom is many palaces.” Christ is there, under the construction of this New Jerusalem now. Now listen close. Don’t move. Don’t, don’t miss this. Christ is in Heaven, today, preparing the New Jerusalem.
295 Just as God created the earth in six days, made the earth in six days, or six thousand years. As he said, “Be not ignorant,” we read in the Scripture, “one thousand years is one day.”
296 And Christ has gone and is preparing a Place, that’s been on its construction for many, many thousands of years, preparing a Place. “And if I go and prepare a Place, I will come again, and receive you; that wherever I am, there you may be also.” Notice the Redeemer and the Redeemed!
297 Wish we had time now. I got marked here, Solomon quoting, “this girl, the Bride.” Oh, we just have to omit it; it’s getting too late, see. I’ll get it, again. “When he tries to get her, but she’s engaged to a shepherd boy.” Some probably thought that was a song he sang. Oh, no. Solomon was the throne inherit of David, on earth, but showed that kingdom had to pass away. It was a type of Christ in love with the Bride. See?
