Now, do you want to know a secret? Making new; that what's going on in the
world; that's what's happening. The Holy City is not future perfect, it's present
tense. (Check out the Greek verbs in the text!) Now the Holy City is descending.
Now God is making things new. Right now God is wiping tears and easing pain and
overcoming the power of death in the world.
Now! There's nothing otherworldly about the
vision; it's happening Now in the midst of our worn, torn, broken world. And
with the eyes of faith, you can see it happening.”
