SCRIPTURES
Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
From Scriptures, we learn that there is a place where crying is permanent and eternal. This place is called hell.
Matthew 25:30 "Cast
ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth."
From Scriptures, we learn also there is a place where
there is no crying at all. This place is called heaven.
Revelation 21:4 "God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain."
From Scriptures, we discover again that being in
Christ gives the redeemed access to heaven and entitles him to replicate heaven
while on the earth.
For this reason, in Matthew 6:9-10, Jesus says :
“After this
manner therefore pray ye: … thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it
is] in heaven.”
Therefore, if in heaven there is no crying at all, the
will of God for the redeemed on earth is not to replicate the hell pattern of permanent
crying but the heaven pattern of NO MORE CRYING.
You
will live in Zion, in Jerusalem. YOU WON’T CRY ANYMORE. The LORD will certainly
have pity on you when you cry for help. As soon as he hears you, he will answer
you. ( Isaiah 30:19)
And
the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and
everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and SORROW
AND SIGHING SHALL FLEE AWAY. ( Isaiah 35:10)
And
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and THE VOICE OF WEEPING
SHALL BE NO MORE HEARD in her, nor the voice of crying. ( Isaiah 65:19)
