    Eccl.1.9 "New"

    "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." What is new but the will of God fulfilled, which is done in heaven, certainly not under the sun. Thus new earth is not created under tha sun that itself shall be no more. The new heaven and the new earth inhabited by new creation is heaven. For this reason Paul paraphrased the words of Jesus saying, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."(Col.3.2) Our inheritance is in heaven,"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."(Mt.6.19-21)The idea of new worlds is embedded in the Word. If the Law can only be revealed progressively how shall this following verse be implemented. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."(2 Cor.5.17) . This helps us understand the analogy of parables concerning new cloth and new wineskins, "No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse."(Mt.9.61) Yout trasure is set in heaven, and your heart naturally ought to be there. Instead what shall you call those who still wheel and deal with mammon? Hypocrites,neither in heaven nor of the earth. CUFI and millennialists show roguery is alive and kicking in the present day churches.

    Faith with which worlds were framed helps every believer enter into the God's rest so day Seven assures you under the Covenant the fuits are genuine since it is what Christ has done for his Father's glory. As a new creation we are to grow, while we are in our vile bodies, we walk not by sight but by faith, groaning, "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."(2 Cor.5.1)
