Jeremiah 29:1-14

1 Jeremiah wrote a letter from Jerusalem to the elders, priests,

prophets, and all the people who had been exiled to Babylon by

King Nebuchadnezzar. 2 This was after King Jehoiachin, the

queen mother, the court officials, the other officials of Judah, and

all the craftsmen and artisans had been deported from

Jerusalem. 3 He sent the letter with Elasah son of Shaphan and

Gemariah son of Hilkiah when they went to Babylon as King

Zedekiah’s ambassadors to Nebuchadnezzar. This is what

Jeremiah’s letter said:

4 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says

to all the captives he has exiled to Babylon from

Jerusalem: 5 “Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and

eat the food they produce. 6 Marry and have children. Then find

spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren.

Multiply! Do not dwindle away! 7 And work for the peace and

prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to

the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.”

8 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,

says: “Do not let your prophets and fortune-tellers who are with

you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their

dreams, 9 because they are telling you lies in my name. I have not

sent them,” says the Lord.

10 This is what the Lord says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy

years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I

have promised, and I will bring you home again. 11 For I know the

plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and

not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days

when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly,

you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end

your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the

nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your

own land.”

Isaiah 43:14-21

14 This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel:

“For your sakes I will send an army against Babylon,

forcing the Babylonians to flee in those ships they are so proud

of.

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,

Israel’s Creator and King.

16 I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters,

making a dry path through the sea.

17 I called forth the mighty army of Egypt

with all its chariots and horses.

I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned,

their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick.

18 “But forget all that—

it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

19 For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

20 The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

the jackals and owls, too,

for giving them water in the desert.

Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland

so my chosen people can be refreshed.

21 I have made Israel for myself,

and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

Romans 8:18-25

18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will

reveal to us later. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that

future day when God will reveal who his children really

are. 20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse.

But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when

it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and

decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in

the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 And we

believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within

us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be

released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for

the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted

children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 24 We were

given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have

something, we don’t need to hope for it. 25 But if we look forward to

something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and

confidently.)

Revelation 21:1-5

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven

and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also

gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down

from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her

husband.

3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home

is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be

his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear

from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or

crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making

everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for

what I tell you is trustworthy and true.
