    About this ebook

    In JHN 14:2, Jesus said, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” The New Jerusalem was being prepared by the master builder Jesus as a future home for his saints.

    Satan learned many things about the plan of God from what was written in the New Testament and tried to use this knowledge to his own advantage. He knew that Jesus would have to defeat him before taking his saints to live in these new mansions. Crafty and cunning, Satan wondered what was in the place that Jesus was preparing for his saints, and whether he might be able to use it to his advantage.

    In the current book, the Accuser was intrigued with the massive, triangle shaped object that floated in space just outside the confines of heaven. He wanted to go inside and take a peek. Yet, time was running out for him after his confinement in the Bottomless pit for a thousand years.
    In a dream, he masqueraded himself as an angel of light, and flew around to one of the gates of the City, where he quickly glided through the doorway with the other angels, swooping into the huge expanse. Keeping a low profile, he continued to examine places that might offer an opportunity. But what would he do? Maybe, he could destroy much of what the Lord had created. Or maybe, he could plant something in the City that would change the course of Bible prophecy and turn his defeat into victory. At last, a brilliant insight filled his mind, and he knew exactly what needed to be done. After carrying out his newly conceived plot, he took wing again, and quickly exited the mammoth expanse of the New Jerusalem. In the cloud covers of earth, he again took on the form of the devil, and prepared to do battle with the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem. Because of his cleverness, no one would know what he had been up to. It would be his little secret. Yes, there was something very strange and sinister about him now; he had a big smile on his face and was laughing very heartily, even as the fire came down from heaven. The underlying question must now be asked: will his big dream in fact become a reality or was it just a figment of his imagination? And so, the story begins.

      Note From The Author

      Dr. Gary Michael Epping Ph.D. received Bachelor and Graduate degrees in Business Administration, and was a University Professor for twenty-five years. He and his family also spent eight years as missionaries in Thailand. Upon returning to the USA, he is active as both a rancher and writer. As always, I want to thank my wife, Diane for her support in the writing of this new book.

      Introduction

      After the new heavens and earth were recreated as described in REV 21:1, the Revival Crusaders stepped out to have a look at the New Eden. At a roundtable conversation, there was an extended discussion about the similarity of the newly re-created earth with the original earth. This was the storyline in my earlier book, ‘Original Creation.’ In the present book, the Crusaders are ready to check out God’s New Eden. Although the present book was written as a sequel to the Tribulation series, it can also be read as a standalone novel on God’s New Creation, which occurred after the Tribulation and Judgment.

      Prologue

      In JHN 14:2, Jesus said, In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. The New Jerusalem was being prepared by the master builder Jesus as a future home for his saints.

      Satan learned many things about the plan of God from what was written in the New Testament and tried to use this knowledge to his own advantage. He knew that Jesus would have to defeat him before taking his saints to live in these new mansions. Crafty and cunning, Satan wondered what was in the place that Jesus was preparing for his saints, and whether he might be able to use it to his advantage.

      In the current book, the Accuser was intrigued with the massive, triangle shaped object that floated in space just outside the confines of heaven. He wanted to go inside and take a peek. Yet, time was running out for him after his confinement in the Bottomless pit for a thousand years.

      In a dream, he masqueraded himself as an angel of light, and flew around to one of the gates of the City, where he quickly glided through the doorway with the other angels, swooping into the huge expanse. Keeping a low profile, he continued to examine places that might offer an opportunity. But what would he do? Maybe, he could destroy much of what the Lord had created. Or maybe, he could plant something in the City that would change the course of Bible prophecy and turn his defeat into victory. At last, a brilliant insight filled his mind, and he knew exactly what needed to be done. After carrying out his newly conceived plot, he took wing again, and quickly exited the mammoth expanse of the New Jerusalem. In the cloud covers of earth, he again took on the form of the devil, and prepared to do battle with the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem. Because of his cleverness, no one would know what he had been up to. It would be his little secret. Yes, there was something very strange and sinister about him now; he had a big smile on his face and was laughing very heartily, even as the fire came down from heaven. The underlying question must now be asked: will his big dream in fact become a reality or was it just a figment of his imagination? And so, the story begins.

      Chapter 1 – The 1st Worship Gathering

      As Cody the angel, finished his story about how things were in the Original Creation, the Revival Crusaders reflected on what had been revealed.

      George Finney, the leader of the group, and former evangelist during the last day’s revival, said, All of us that are members of the Revival Crusaders could have talked for years about how we thought God’s original creation might be, but Cody the angel has given us a first hand account of what actually happened.

      Denny Seicos replied, People can theorize and project their opinions on what might have occurred, but can never actually know what really happened unless a witness comes forth and reveals the actual details of what God’s original creation was like. Thanks Cody for the story. Your account was so real that I felt like I was actually there as you were speaking. I guess there is no need for any further discussion, since who can know more than about creation than an angel.

      From down in the valley, someone proclaimed, Testimony from an angel is pretty good as they can’t lie, but there’s someone that knows even more about the original creation than any of the angels. All of the crusaders turned around quickly to see Jesus walking up towards the table at which they sat."

      Cody shouts, No one knows better the story than the One who did the creating. He, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, were around long before they decided to create any of the angels.

      Jesus sat down with the group and declared, The angels know most all of the account, except the time prior to their creation. You’ll no longer need to theorize, hypothesize, and let your imaginations go wild in wonder about the creation. In your immortal bodies, you already know much more than you ever could in your previous life on the earth as a child of sin. There’s still much more to know, but lots of time and many other new stories. Some will come from the angels, and others from the Trinity. But, you have had enough for today, and it’s time for the worship gathering in the New Jerusalem to begin. That is the main reason I come down to see you. Very quickly the meeting dispersed, and the group followed Jesus back towards one of the entryways to the New Jerusalem. As they flew towards the gate they were accompanied by countless other hosts of angels that were also assembling for the worship gathering.

      Jesus proceeded to the throne and sat down beside the Father, as the Revival Crusaders stood in a circle among the mass of angels and humans spread out before the Holy Trinity.

      Moe said, I remember back in the revival days at Mobile, the pastor once told us that a great worship service must have three key things. The first comes in response to the Word of God that connects the hearts of the people. The Word always brings out God’s truth, which energizes worship. If you have no Word, then the worship is simply based on emotion. The second element is that we must worship in the spirit to bring the Spirit into our presence. No matter how great the worship group may be, it must be remembered that the real worship leader is the Holy Spirit. The last item is to have a hunger before you ever enter into worship. Being properly prepared allows us to have an encounter with the Lord in song and praise.

      Denny replied, "That was great advice back in the days of the revival. But, now things have changed a bit. We don’t really have to have a reading of the Word to become inspired, because the living Word is standing right here in front of us. Just a glimpse of him is enough to arouse all of us. We used to have to be in the spirit in order to ask the Holy Spirit to come join us! Now The Holy Ghost is hovering above the throne and the mere sight of Him lifts us up. We certain had a foretaste today having Jesus visit us at the inn. No doubt, we are
