The Gospel of The Restoration of All Things. Tim Hodge

this passage? That God will dwell with man and all suffering will end! Please note that John uses the words ‘their’ and ‘them’, not ‘we’ and ‘us’. If John was talking about the members of the church, he would’ve said ‘and God will dwell with us’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from ‘our’ eyes’. But he doesn’t, and this is because this passage is dealing with the restoration of all those who are not part of the bride company. It does apply to the church as well, but the emphasis here is on those outside the church.

      We also learn that there shall be no more death! The wages of sin is death (Rom 6 v 23) yet there will be no more wage to pay because Christ died for the sins of the whole world!

      There will be no more sorrow, crying or pain. If eternal torment were true, how could all suffering end?

      And finally as we began this chapter showing that the word ‘things’ means ‘beings’, human and angelic, God says he will make all things new! God will make all humans and all angels new, and they will all be made alive in Christ and restored back to God!

      This is the Gospel of the restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began, and I commend to you this biblical overview and pray you meditate on the scriptures I’ve shared concerning this.
