And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
·
In
heaven, the curse is gone. Since the fall, man and creation have lived with the
effect of the curse described in Genesis
3:16-19: sorrow and
pain in childbirth for women, friction between the sexes, the necessity of hard
and often futile work for man’s sustenance, and most of all death. (DG)
·
These
aspects of the curse will even
be present during the Millennium, though they will be greatly mitigated by the
perfect rule of Jesus. Isaiah
65:20 shows us that
it is still possible for a sinner to be accursed in the millennial earth. But
in the new heaven and new earth they are done away with forever. Instead of the
curse, the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it. That’s quite an
exchange. (DG)
