Revelation 22:3




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)

Ezekiel 48:35  All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be:  THE LORD IS THERE.

Zechariah 14:11  The people shall dwell in it; and no longer shall there be utter destruction but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
