Daily Devotion:
"New Jerusalem"
Micah 4:5
New International Version
5 All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
After telling the people that Jerusalem would be reduced to ashes, the prophet Micah brings hope to their hearts and tells them of the day when Jerusalem and the temple would be rebuilt.
This is a Messianic prophecy that tells us about the period known as “the last days”, when Jesus will return as King to establish His kingdom on earth. There were promises for God´s chosen people and Micah was sure to share them to encourage their hearts. Revelation gives us a glimpse of the “New Jerusalem”, the eternal city without pain,
tears, sorrow or dead. The heavenly place where we will spend eternity! What a beautiful hope we have! Even when every earthly thing is destroyed. Even if we lose everything we have, Jesus is preparing a place for us (John 14:2).
