Chapter 35

At that moment, there will be no room to think about the pain and sorrow that they had suffered on earth. The new world that God will rule by himself is such an amazing place that we cannot imagine its scale now.

In my vision, I met prophets who had greatly worked for God to receive fine linen and have stayed in the Most Holy Place in heaven. When I asked one of them his name, he identified himself. And he curiously asked me, “You are the Overcomer, right?” Then I replied, “Yes, I am.” He said, “I envy you.” He is already in God’s world but envied our work for God.

Through my vision, I was able to understand how luxurious and magnificent the new world would be.

“Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready” (Rev. 19:7). This event will happen in the new world that God will create because it is in the time when God will reign.

“Because his bride has made herself ready, fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints” (Rev. 19:8). John heard the event from angels and just recorded it. John was the person who recorded it, but not the person who will accomplish the prophecy. Dear people, who will be greater between the recorder and the accomplisher? You are now looking
