3 I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said, “Now God’s home is with people. He will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain. All the old ways are gone.”
5 The one who was sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this, because these words are true and can be trusted.”
6 The one on the throne said to me, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega,** the Beginning and the End. I will give free water from the spring of the water of life to anyone who is thirsty. 7 All those who win the victory will receive all this. And I will be their God, and they will be my children. 8 But those who are cowards, those who refuse to believe, those who do terrible things, those who kill, those who sin sexually, those who do evil magic, those who worship idols, and those who tell lies—they will all have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”**
Primal issue between us is that: What God say and make definition for him self and revealed to prophet Jesus that is being considered as if Jesus say it for himself. Smilarly if we consider what God say in Quran for himsel as if Muhammed say for himself than Muhammed would be God. But Muhammed is only a prophet as Jesus. Here are only an example:
- To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: it is He Who gives Life and Death; and He has Power over all things.
- He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Hidden(İn Bible as Alfa and Omega): and He has full knowledge of all things.
- He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne. He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do.
- To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all affairs go back to Allah
(Quran, Al-Hadid:2-5)
Well, God is forever and lives eternally, beyond space and time i.e. existed before space and time. Right? That should answer the question: “Where will Jesus dwell at beyond?” God eventually entered into His creation, as a male, via the blessed mother Mary i.e. as God incarnate to do the sacrificial work (as both fully God and fully Man) necessary to reverse the acts of the very first humans e.g. sin. When Jesus walked the earth He fulfilled the messianic prophecies, i.e. He was the long-awaited Prophet, King and Messiah of the new and everlasting covenant. Once His work as the final Prophet, King and Messiah and suffering Servant was completed (i.e. His salvific work within time and space, here on earth) Jesus returned to His eternal Home, an eternal abode and Kingdom, now open to every human be it past, present or future. Upon His second coming, all things will be made new; pretty cool stuff:
We are so cognitively limited on this side of eternity…" I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?"
