Deut. 32:48-34:12, John 11:54-12:19
Thought from Today’s Old Testament Passage:
“Underneath are the everlasting arms.”Deuteronomy xxxiii. 27
“Underneath” is the great matter to which the architect, if he be wise, will give his best attention. And truly, brethren, when you and I begin to examine into our graces and our professions, that word “underneath” suggests many a testing question. Is it all right with us as to the root of the matter—“underneath”? If not, the fair flower above ground will wither very speedily. The seed has sprung up hastily, but how is the soil underneath? For if there be no depth of earth the scorching sun will soon dry up the superficial harvest. “Underneath,” though it be mysterious, is also intensely important, and hence the great joy of being able to say by faith, “yes, ‘underneath’ is well-secured; we have trusted in God and we shall not be confounded; we have relied upon the eternal promises and they cannot fail; we have rested on the infinite merits of the atoning sacrifice of God’s dear Son, and we shall never be ashamed of our hope.” Happy is he who rests upon the everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure, for with him all is safe underneath; and, though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, he need not fear, but may patiently hope and quietly wait for the salvation of God. (C. H. Spurgeon, The Treasury of the Bible, Vol. 1 (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House, 1962), p. 477)

Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like? The city at the center of our future Heaven is called the New Jerusalem. According to the Bible, the ground level of that city will be nearly two mission square miles. That is forty times bigger than England and fifteen thousand times bigger than London. But remember, that's just the ground level. In Heaven, What Will It Be Like? Dr. Randy Alcorn helps to answer your questions, clear up wrong ideas many have about heaven and explores the specific details God gives us in the Bible.
