1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,200 Let's turn in your Bible to Revelation chapter 21, 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:15,400 Revelation chapter 21. will read again, the Opening part of the 3 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,800 chapter. Let's hear the word of God were 4 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,800 reading. Of course, often emphasized from 5 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,100 the authorized version. Revelation 21 verse 1. 6 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,200 And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven. 7 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,100 And the first Earth were passed away. 8 00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:43,400 There was no more sea and I John saw the holy city. 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,700 New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven prepared as a 10 00:00:47,708 --> 00:00:52,800 bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of 11 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,400 Heaven, saying behold, the Tabernacle of God is with man 12 00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:03,600 and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God 13 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,700 himself shall be with them and be their God. 14 00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:12,000 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there 15 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,100 shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying neither shall 16 00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,400 there be any more Pian for the former things are passed away 17 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,600 and he that sat upon the throne said, behold I make all things 18 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,400 you and he said unto me. Write for these words are true 19 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,600 and faithful and he said unto me, it is done. 20 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,200 I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. 21 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,000 I will give unto him. That is athirst of the Fountain 22 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,600 of the Water of Life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit 23 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,100 all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son, but the 24 00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:52,800 fearful and unbelieving and the Abominable and murderers and 25 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,300 whoremongers and Sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall 26 00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,900 have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and 27 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:05,900 brimstone, which is the second death now, my text tonight has 28 00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:12,100 taken from Revelation, 21, and verse 4, On my famous, the 29 00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:16,300 topic. Nor crying. 30 00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:21,500 This is the fourth message in the subject, the no mores of 31 00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,200 heaven. And here's another thing that is 32 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,000 not find in heaven, not only is there no more sea but there's 33 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,200 also no more death There's no more sorrow but there's also No 34 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,600 More Tears. Whenever you read Revelation, 21 35 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,100 carefully, think of these words on God shall wipe away all tears 36 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,900 from their eyes. John tells us that and then he 37 00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:56,500 begins to add nor crying. Now you a number of years ago, I 38 00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:00,300 preached a sermon, I think entitled it God's handkerchief. 39 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,900 I'm not going to repeat what I said they and but let me ask the 40 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:08,400 question. What is heaven like heaven is 41 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,900 also a plea as of No More Tears. This was one of the things about 42 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:17,400 having that was revealed to John, John could say and I saw 43 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:23,100 And he could answer that, and I heard on the end, if you look at 44 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,800 verse 5, he was given the command, right? 45 00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:32,900 John could say, I wrote, here's John and able to see the new 46 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:36,600 heavens and the new Earth. He heard from the voice that 47 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,000 speaks to him. What it was like John's acting 48 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,700 as a faithful and true witness and he rooted down in the pic 49 00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:46,700 for us and one of the things that he wrote Into the book for 50 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,500 us as this that Heaven is a place of No More Tears for the 51 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,700 only shall God. Wipe away all tears from their 52 00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:57,100 eyes but Heaven is a please, where there's neither crying. 53 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,700 Remember what we read in Revelation chapter 1, and in the 54 00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:05,700 verse 3, we're told they're blessed. 55 00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,100 Is he that readeth? And they that hear the words of 56 00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,500 this prophecy and keep those things hurt. 57 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,400 The written there, rang for the tame as it ha. 58 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,800 And one of the things that stood out to join, one of the things 59 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,300 that caught his attention and God shall wipe away all tears 60 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:27,600 from their eyes, I believe that stood out to him. 61 00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:30,400 I believe the definitely Crypt is heartening. 62 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,800 You contrast life on Earth is this life. 63 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Not a veil of Tears. In fact, sometimes tears are 64 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,300 described as the language of life. 65 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:46,200 You know, what's a universal language? 66 00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,600 We traveled to the United States of America. 67 00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:52,800 If we visit Canada, save him, don't you? 68 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,700 Brazil and took a wee trip up the Amazon rainforest, and then 69 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,300 left the Amazon and went to the jungles of Africa. 70 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,900 And we traveled on down to Australia and even thought, you 71 00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,900 know, what will take a, we kept the tassel and, and, and to 72 00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,300 Tasmania, and then down to New Zealand and up from New Zealand 73 00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,900 and to China and India, Japan, and the Philippines and end, 74 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,900 Shownu crean and then eventually traveled the whole of Europe on 75 00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:21,800 the way back home to the United Kingdom and they eventually 76 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,400 commended us, we Province, we could see if we spoke to people 77 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,200 all over the world and their language, we would witness the 78 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,700 tears as definitely a universal language. 79 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:38,400 For the tears of the American. The African is the same as the 80 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,500 tears of an Ulster man. Now, I'm told that a happy cry 81 00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,100 last forever. A two minutes. 82 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:52,100 That's maybe the Cry of a child. A sad cry last for about 7 83 00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,100 minutes. But I want you to think of the 84 00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:59,900 type of cry that John has in made. 85 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,500 When John says, neither crying, he's thinking of a particular 86 00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:12,900 type of cry. This is a cry that can last for 87 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:18,700 ours, last for days. This is a wheel. 88 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,100 This is born out of a crooked, a broken spirit because this cry 89 00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:30,800 that John refers to, in the Greek, New Testament is the cry 90 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,400 or the crook of a raven. Tears are a sign of deep strong 91 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,500 emotions. And yet we reach. 92 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,200 There's no more crying in heaven. 93 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,000 Why for God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 94 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,900 Think with me carefully of the cause of Tears has been removed. 95 00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:57,500 That that's why there's neither crying in heaven. 96 00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,400 What causes tears. Tears of sorrow years ago in one 97 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,700 of the villages here in Northern Ireland, I dialed had been 98 00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:10,300 murdered. I want you to think of a 99 00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:14,500 grief-stricken widow, I want you to think of a young boy standing 100 00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:19,500 by his ground, the Sate, their out, the kid the coffin has been 101 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,600 removed from the home. The villagers are packed. 102 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,000 There's hundreds literally lining the route and the court 103 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,800 age is making its way down from the house down to the gate to go 104 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,000 onto the road and the way boys asking ground. 105 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,200 The question as a whole is groundless hard. 106 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,300 He says grounder, why is everyone crying? 107 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,900 And of course, they're crying because their hearts are full of 108 00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,900 Sorrow. I think of the sieve you're 109 00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:54,200 asking Mary this question, John 2015, why we passed? 110 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,000 I am one of the reasons we weep is because we have been plunged 111 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,500 into intense, sorrow and intense Pian and you think of Mary. 112 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,300 And the garden Mary was full of Sorrow. 113 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,800 She had just witnessed the horrible death and crucifixion 114 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,100 of Christ. I guarantee that shakhter to the 115 00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:18,000 Core. I believe, also she was full of 116 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,200 shock and disappointment when she came to the tomb or not 117 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Resurrection morning, she came early to finish and bombing 118 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,900 Christ's body. And what did she discover? 119 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:31,500 She was in shock, disappointment frustrated, have stolen the body 120 00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:36,900 and she stood at the tomb weeping and then this voice 121 00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,100 behind her asked her, why weepest? 122 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:43,000 I will come to that in a moment? But focus on the Weeping, she 123 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400 was willing with a glitter wheel. 124 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:49,500 And he often our hearts and minds are full of Sorrow 125 00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,300 stricken with grief. There's a real sense of loss and 126 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:59,700 Pian and what's deep down in, the soul has given van through a 127 00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:05,000 geared, and we discover the tears are part of our DNA. 128 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,200 You know, we have the ability to laugh. 129 00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:09,900 The Bible says, there's a time to laugh. 130 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,600 It also says, in Ecclesiastes, 3 is a time to weep We weep openly 131 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,600 some people can only weep secretly, no one to see them, 132 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,200 but God that they weep in their heart but the slave is a veal of 133 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,500 tears. And we as we journey through 134 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,800 life, we experience the contradiction of different 135 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,500 emotions laughter and sadness and it fills our heart and I'm 136 00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:38,700 but were full of the depth of sorrow and we can know them and 137 00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:42,700 fierce bitter disappointment, we can burst into tears. 138 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,000 We can even ask the question. Where is God when I need them? 139 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,700 Of course, the answer is on the throne, he's always on the 140 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:52,800 throne has never been vacated, but sometimes we just can't see 141 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800 that. Sometimes we ask, well, why is 142 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,800 God not working in the way that I asked them or the way that I 143 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,600 think. Or the way that I want, 144 00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:05,500 sometimes we doubt his promises. We think to ourselves God 145 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:09,800 promises, can't be true. And even though we're in the 146 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,100 depths of sorrow and Van think it through tears. 147 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:18,100 Remember our thinking is wrong. Remember our speaking, his room 148 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,900 because we've got to learn to process life, from God's 149 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:25,700 perspective. Life is a veil of Tears. 150 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Now, that was born of woman is a few years and full of trouble as 151 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,500 the Sparks Fly upward. But in this V, love tears that 152 00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:35,500 were going through. We must learn to process life 153 00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,600 from the Lord's Viewpoint from the Lord's perspective. 154 00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:43,900 In light of his loving. Kindness God is love in late of 155 00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:47,500 us tender mercy. God is merciful, that's what the 156 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,500 Bible teaches. Us and they'd of us care. 157 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:54,100 We were singing. Does Jesus care and the answers? 158 00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:58,700 Yes, I know he cares. How do we know that it's not 159 00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:02,100 just because we've got this feeling inside as at this 160 00:11:02,108 --> 00:11:05,000 because we think that so they can feel good. 161 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,100 No, we're standing on the rock of Holy Scripture, casting all 162 00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:16,000 your care upon him for he first Peter five and seven says careth 163 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,200 for you. Sometimes we ask the question is 164 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,200 there anyone to help us and the answer is yes, listen to our him 165 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,300 and 424. Yes there's one and only one, 166 00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,300 the Blessed blessed Jesus. He's the one when afflictions 167 00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,500 press the soul and waves of trouble roll and you need a 168 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,600 friend to help you. He's the one General. 169 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,500 Why we sing that we can say that because the Bible teaches 170 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,100 Hebrews, 13 and 5, the Lord is my helper. 171 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:50,700 Oh, oh that we get SATA that Not only see that he loves us and he 172 00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:53,600 has Mercy toward us and he cares for us. 173 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,000 But 11 later his Sovereign plan and Sovereign purpose. 174 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,000 So often we lose late of God's Aid of God's sovereignty. 175 00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,900 And once we lose sight of that truth, then we can begin to 176 00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,700 question and ask Where's God and what on Earth is God doing? 177 00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:14,400 So here's one of the causes of Tears, it's been removed. 178 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,400 Why is there no crying in heaven? 179 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,600 Because the tears of Sorrow have been removed. 180 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,600 The think also very quickly, the tears of sin I'm thinking of the 181 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,400 Deeds of evil and wicked, man. I'm thinking if the presence and 182 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,100 power and pronouncement of wicked May, what happens when 183 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,500 evil or Wicked?

Teenager 1819, she went to a 200 00:13:45,308 --> 00:13:49,400 mile in California late, one evening, she was going to buy a 201 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,100 wedding present from a friend and she was invited to the 202 00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,300 wedding. And there was few people there 203 00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:57,000 and because it was late in the evening, she bought the gift. 204 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,400 And was returning to her car and tragedy stroke. 205 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,000 She was abducted.

Matthew chapter 23 and verse 37, 307 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,700 o Jerusalem who Juris he was thinking of the desolation of 308 00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:56,600 the Temple. You think of today's cities are 309 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,600 United Kingdom, the life of The Unborn been murdered almost 310 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,700 5,000.

I was talking to Michael 323 00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:45,000 Harrison, we were talking about Northern Ireland and you know, 324 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,600 what is absent from Northern Ireland, the fear of God and 325 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,800 that was absent from the great city of Jerusalem and today's 326 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,800 cities all over the world and towns and villages, we get out 327 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,100 into the mix, the drunkenness, the adultery, the fornication 328 00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:04,900 homosexuality. Remember over there Paul 329 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600 emphasizing to the church at Ephesus said in First 330 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,800 Corinthians. 6 and verse 9. He said these words, listen to 331 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,700 the word of God know. You not that the unrighteous 332 00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:17,100 shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 333 00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:18,100 Be not deceived. Neither. 334 00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:20,800 Fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor 335 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,400 abusers of themselves. With mankind, nor thieves nor 336 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,100 Covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers nor extortioners, shall 337 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:33,000 inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you in 338 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,400 qarth. But year washed, but ye are 339 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Sanctified. But ye are justified in the name 340 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:46,800 of the Lord Jesus. And by the spirit of God, Jesus 341 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,300 wept over the city of Jerusalem. I believe he's weeping over our 342 00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:57,300 cities at least in his heart. You think of weeping before the 343 00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:01,200 tree in the Garden of Gethsemane, the book of Hebrews 344 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,200 and Hebrews chapter 5 and verse 7, gives us this information who 345 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,500 in the days of his flesh, when he'd offered up prayers, and 346 00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:13,600 supplication was strong crying.

Andy and What a wonderful thing 351 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,800 it is for God to be able to bottle our tears. 352 00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:40,000 I wonder how many tears we have shared. 353 00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:46,200 With wept with those you have wept and sympathy with wept over 354 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,500 the state of our cities and our nation. 355 00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:56,800 We have wept over particular situations indeed. not only 356 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,200 think about the cause, Of Tears being removed, but think of the 357 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,900 cure for Tears has been revealed. 358 00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,000 Here's another reason. Why there's no tears in heaven, 359 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,700 what is the cure for the veil of Tears? 360 00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:13,200 In which we live. Remember I told you this word 361 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,900 crying has to do with a noisy wheel, it's a piercing cry, a 362 00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:19,000 cry of Brokenness, The Cry Of The Reef and it's very 363 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,500 intrusive.
