What's behind the pearly gates?

Good morning everyone!!! May this day be a wonderful day - enjoyable, delightful, and peaceful for you. If the day seems chaotic, stop, take a moment for the peace of the Lord to fill you ..... then continue on!! We can be caught up deeply in the everyday chaos and forget our Lord and saviour who makes everything well.
Say, if everything will be well, what do you think it is like behind the pearly gates. Are there really pearly gates? Revelation 21:21 "The twelve gates were made of perarls-each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass." Okay, next question.
What is it like behind the pearly gates? Isaiah 60:19-20...Please read this and the rest of Isaiah. You will find joy and fulfillment. Now this is stated again in Revelation 21:22-24 "I SAW NO TEMPLE IN THE CITY, FOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB ARE ITS TEMPLE. AND THE CITY HAS NO NEED OF SUN OR MOON, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ILLUMINATES THE CITY, AND THE LAMB IS ITS LIGHT. THE NATIONS WILL WALK IN ITS LIGHT, AND THE KINGS OF THE WORLD WILL ENTER THE CITY IN ALL THEIR GLORY."
Okay, so what is being said. The temple, the primary worship place of the people is no more. Why? One is not needed because God is present and His presence being everywhere will illuminate everything everywhere. God will be the light in the new Jerusalem. Light represents what is good, pure, true, holy, and reliable. Darkness represents sin and evil. God's glory lights the city and the city will be enveloped by HIM, GOD, who is perfectly holy and true.
Because darkness cannot exist where there is light we can also say sin and evil cannot exist where the presence of God is. We will be able to freely worship God, nothing to hinder or stop us from our worship. What a glorious day this will be. Are you ready? If you are not sure...then... read on...verses 26 and 27. If our name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life.....OH NO!! take time now to right yourself with the Lord God, our Father in heaven. It's only takes a moment and God wants no one to perish. Thank you Jesus for giving you life for me, continue to help me walk in your will, your path of righteousness, and be Christlike.
Hey, thanks for reading, be still and listen to God. God is great and cannot receive enough glory. A brief Johnny note: God opened the door for me to change careers and I was not looking. I will be moving into a sales representative position for a textbook company. God opened the door, all went smooth, the interviews, meeting with my principal, God is in control. I have to give God the glory. Thanks for listening. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
