The No Mores of Heaven: No More Tears

Let's turn in your Bible to Revelation chapter 21,

Revelation 21 · chapter mention

Revelation chapter 21. will read again, the Opening part of the

Revelation 21 · chapter mention

chapter. Let's hear the word of God were

reading. Of course, often emphasized from

the authorized version. Revelation 21 verse 1.

Revelation 21:1

And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven.

And the first Earth were passed away.

There was no more sea and I John saw the holy city.

New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven prepared as a

bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of

Heaven, saying behold, the Tabernacle of God is with man

and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God

himself shall be with them and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there

shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying neither shall

there be any more Pian for the former things are passed away

and he that sat upon the throne said, behold I make all things

you and he said unto me. Write for these words are true

and faithful and he said unto me, it is done.

I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.

I will give unto him. That is athirst of the Fountain

of the Water of Life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit

all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son, but the

fearful and unbelieving and the Abominable and murderers and

whoremongers and Sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall

have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and

brimstone, which is the second death now, my text tonight has

taken from Revelation, 21, and verse 4, On my famous, the

topic. Nor crying.

This is the fourth message in the subject, the no mores of

heaven. And here's another thing that is

not find in heaven, not only is there no more sea but there's

also no more death There's no more sorrow but there's also No

More Tears. Whenever you read Revelation, 21

carefully, think of these words on God shall wipe away all tears

from their eyes. John tells us that and then he

begins to add nor crying. Now you a number of years ago, I

preached a sermon, I think entitled it God's handkerchief.

I'm not going to repeat what I said they and but let me ask the

question. What is heaven like heaven is

also a plea as of No More Tears. This was one of the things about

having that was revealed to John, John could say and I saw

And he could answer that, and I heard on the end, if you look at

verse 5, he was given the command, right?

John could say, I wrote, here's John and able to see the new

heavens and the new Earth. He heard from the voice that

speaks to him. What it was like John's acting

as a faithful and true witness and he rooted down in the pic

for us and one of the things that he wrote Into the book for

us as this that Heaven is a place of No More Tears for the

only shall God. Wipe away all tears from their

eyes but Heaven is a please, where there's neither crying.

Remember what we read in Revelation chapter 1, and in the

Revelation 1 · chapter mention

verse 3, we're told they're blessed.

Is he that readeth? And they that hear the words of

this prophecy and keep those things hurt.

The written there, rang for the tame as it ha.

And one of the things that stood out to join, one of the things

that caught his attention and God shall wipe away all tears

from their eyes, I believe that stood out to him.

I believe the definitely Crypt is heartening.

You contrast life on Earth is this life.

Not a veil of Tears. In fact, sometimes tears are

described as the language of life.

You know, what's a universal language?

We traveled to the United States of America.

If we visit Canada, save him, don't you?

Brazil and took a wee trip up the Amazon rainforest, and then

left the Amazon and went to the jungles of Africa.

And we traveled on down to Australia and even thought, you

know, what will take a, we kept the tassel and, and, and to

Tasmania, and then down to New Zealand and up from New Zealand

and to China and India, Japan, and the Philippines and end,

Shownu crean and then eventually traveled the whole of Europe on

the way back home to the United Kingdom and they eventually

commended us, we Province, we could see if we spoke to people

all over the world and their language, we would witness the

tears as definitely a universal language.

For the tears of the American. The African is the same as the

tears of an Ulster man. Now, I'm told that a happy cry

last forever. A two minutes.

That's maybe the Cry of a child. A sad cry last for about 7

minutes. But I want you to think of the

type of cry that John has in made.

When John says, neither crying, he's thinking of a particular

type of cry. This is a cry that can last for

ours, last for days. This is a wheel.

This is born out of a crooked, a broken spirit because this cry

that John refers to, in the Greek, New Testament is the cry

or the crook of a raven. Tears are a sign of deep strong

emotions. And yet we reach.

There's no more crying in heaven.

Why for God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Think with me carefully of the cause of Tears has been removed.

That that's why there's neither crying in heaven.

What causes tears. Tears of sorrow years ago in one

of the villages here in Northern Ireland, I dialed had been

murdered. I want you to think of a

grief-stricken widow, I want you to think of a young boy standing

by his ground, the Sate, their out, the kid the coffin has been

removed from the home. The villagers are packed.

There's hundreds literally lining the route and the court

age is making its way down from the house down to the gate to go

onto the road and the way boys asking ground.

The question as a whole is groundless hard.

He says grounder, why is everyone crying?

And of course, they're crying because their hearts are full of

Sorrow. I think of the sieve you're

asking Mary this question, John 2015, why we passed?

I am one of the reasons we weep is because we have been plunged

into intense, sorrow and intense Pian and you think of Mary.

And the garden Mary was full of Sorrow.

She had just witnessed the horrible death and crucifixion

of Christ. I guarantee that shakhter to the

Core. I believe, also she was full of

shock and disappointment when she came to the tomb or not

Resurrection morning, she came early to finish and bombing

Christ's body. And what did she discover?

She was in shock, disappointment frustrated, have stolen the body

and she stood at the tomb weeping and then this voice

behind her asked her, why weepest?

I will come to that in a moment? But focus on the Weeping, she

was willing with a glitter wheel.

And he often our hearts and minds are full of Sorrow

stricken with grief. There's a real sense of loss and

Pian and what's deep down in, the soul has given van through a

geared, and we discover the tears are part of our DNA.

You know, we have the ability to laugh.

The Bible says, there's a time to laugh.

It also says, in Ecclesiastes, 3 is a time to weep We weep openly

some people can only weep secretly, no one to see them,

but God that they weep in their heart but the slave is a veal of

tears. And we as we journey through

life, we experience the contradiction of different

emotions laughter and sadness and it fills our heart and I'm

but were full of the depth of sorrow and we can know them and

fierce bitter disappointment, we can burst into tears.

We can even ask the question. Where is God when I need them?

Of course, the answer is on the throne, he's always on the

throne has never been vacated, but sometimes we just can't see

that. Sometimes we ask, well, why is

God not working in the way that I asked them or the way that I

think. Or the way that I want,

sometimes we doubt his promises. We think to ourselves God

promises, can't be true. And even though we're in the

depths of sorrow and Van think it through tears.

Remember our thinking is wrong. Remember our speaking, his room

because we've got to learn to process life, from God's

perspective. Life is a veil of Tears.

Now, that was born of woman is a few years and full of trouble as

the Sparks Fly upward. But in this V, love tears that

were going through. We must learn to process life

from the Lord's Viewpoint from the Lord's perspective.

In light of his loving. Kindness God is love in late of

us tender mercy. God is merciful, that's what the

Bible teaches. Us and they'd of us care.

We were singing. Does Jesus care and the answers?

Yes, I know he cares. How do we know that it's not

just because we've got this feeling inside as at this

because we think that so they can feel good.

No, we're standing on the rock of Holy Scripture, casting all

your care upon him for he first Peter five and seven says careth

for you. Sometimes we ask the question is

there anyone to help us and the answer is yes, listen to our him

and 424. Yes there's one and only one,

the Blessed blessed Jesus. He's the one when afflictions

press the soul and waves of trouble roll and you need a

friend to help you. He's the one General.

Why we sing that we can say that because the Bible teaches

Hebrews, 13 and 5, the Lord is my helper.

Oh, oh that we get SATA that Not only see that he loves us and he

has Mercy toward us and he cares for us.

But 11 later his Sovereign plan and Sovereign purpose.

So often we lose late of God's Aid of God's sovereignty.

And once we lose sight of that truth, then we can begin to

question and ask Where's God and what on Earth is God doing?

So here's one of the causes of Tears, it's been removed.

Why is there no crying in heaven?

Because the tears of Sorrow have been removed.

The think also very quickly, the tears of sin I'm thinking of the

Deeds of evil and wicked, man. I'm thinking if the presence and

power and pronouncement of wicked May, what happens when

evil or Wicked? Man try mm you think of Mary

weeping in the garden. And she's asked the question,

why weepest I and her? Does she answer?

This is what she answers to the one that she thinks is the

gardener that killed the Lord Jesus Christ.

I saw murdered. I saw that crucifixion.

I went there. I was there.

I went the student. And worse to come.

Tip, no stolen his body. And if you read John 20 and 2

and John 20 and 13, it emphasizes Mary says, I know not

what they have laid him. You see that there's Brokenness

in her voice that there's a lament in her voice and her

tears are Weeping as because of what evil Wicked hands of dumb

to the Lord Jesus. Those are tears, not only of

sorrow with tears of sin, what evil and wicked men have done.

You know, I read a story there, just a few days ago.

Younger, lovely young girl. Teenager 1819, she went to a

mile in California late, one evening, she was going to buy a

wedding present from a friend and she was invited to the

wedding. And there was few people there

and because it was late in the evening, she bought the gift.

And was returning to her car and tragedy stroke.

She was abducted. She was brutally raped.

She was murdered. She was from a Christian home.

Whenever they local police arrived at the home and inform

the parents. You can just imagine how broken

cut up they were, could you hear their Hiles and their dials?

And you see I understand that because there's homes in this

province and I remember hearing of Howells and girls of loved

ones who have been murdered by the IRA during the 40 Years of

troubles. And also I suspect and I had the

other homes would have been highly and growling who had

loved ones murdered by so-called loyalist terrorists.

Those who are shot dead, those who have been blown to pieces

and that create cry goes up and goes up to the ears of God and

Heaven. Under not later.

Such atrocities. You can hear that hole and guile

and you can understand the strong tears that their tears

because of what sin has done an enemy of doneness.

And how do you overcome that? Well, you only overcome that I

can suggest is connected to God's Great sovereignty.

That's the answer. I'm Christ's resurrection power.

Let me take you to the first home tonight.

The first home was an Eden. I want you to think of the

family, they're out of and Eve Cain and Abel.

Two brothers. Can you picture the home?

It's at supper time. The table is sat Eve's watching

and waiting for her boys to return.

Maybe she was looking out the window, where is he able?

Perhaps there's a problem with the sheep and the fate of

remember he's a shepherd and she's getting the mail rally and

as he says to Adam, Adam, have you seen the evil?

And he say, I don't worry, there's probably a difficulty,

maybe a lion, maybe a bear, maybe a wolf on these protecting

the flock. Remember, in those days, there's

no phones and she's looking at the window watching for the

shepherd's light, the lamp to come.

Hope he's okay and then they asked him you just picture it

qian. Do you know where your brother

as an amazingly snaps out? Am I My Brother's Keeper?

And of course he will never come home evil had been brutally

murdered his body had been buried in the dust.

The blood Cried unto God for vengeance from the soil into the

years of the old Mighty inhabit. The first family had tasted the

sorrow of death and not first home.

I'm there was the tears shed because of sin because of the

horrible Act of murder. I also think of the day that

Peter denied the Lord with olives and cursings.

Remember he boasted Lord, you can kind and me I'll not deny

the Lord. I will be faithful Lord, I'm

gonna die for you. And the Lord tells him before

the cock crows. You will deny me three times

Peter you read, Luke, 22, you get the story.

It says in verse 62, that that Peter wept bitterly, see think

of him before that he's denied with those and cursing.

And I'm not, I'm not one of his disciples.

He denied, I don't know them. I'm not one of his and then the

Lord Jesus come up from the house of Caiaphas of the steps,

from the the jailhouse and below the house and to the courtyard

and he just looked at Peter. And the Bible says, Peter weapon

early. See, that's the tears of sin

Peter in you and those tears. I've sinned against the Lord,

I've since against one who, loved me, when he come to bleed

and die for me against the one who calls me, his own tears of

sin, Think about the tiers of service over there and Jeremiah

I'm not going to develop this. I'm just going to read the text

over there in Jeremiah chapter 9 and verse 1.

Jeremiah 9 · chapter mention

Jeremiah the prophet said oh that my head were Waters and

nine eyes of Fountain of tears. I made week day and night for

the slaying of the daughter of my people.

He said in verse 10, for the mountains will I take up a

weeping and wailing and for the in habitations of Wilderness

alimentation because they are burned up so that none can pass

through them. Either can man hear the voice of

the cattle. Both the files of the Heaven,

and the bases are flared. They are gone.

He said, in chapter 10 verse 9 and 10.

Silver, spread into plates is brought from Tarsus and gold

from new files, the work of the work and of the hands of the

founder blue and purple is their clothing.

They are all the work of cunning man.

Man, but the Lord is the true God.

He is the Living God and an everlasting King and his wrath,

the Earth shall tremble. And the nation should not be

able to abide his indignation. The tiers of service.

What about the tears of sickness Hezekiah?

Chapter 38 of Isaiah says, in verse 3, has a Kya web sword, he

experienced. Thank God.

Death bed, recovering. He was sick on the death and on

the day, when he was boosted to high God, give him extended 15

years because the Lord is Jehovah roofie.

He can't hear and answer prayer. As far as bodily healing is

concerned. He did for Hezekiah.

Did the CM for epaphroditus? What The tears of sympathy.

Three times. The Savior wept.

Where did he weep? He wept at the tomb of Lazarus.

The village of Bethany. John 11:35 Jesus wept was not

John 11:35

heartbreaking, that word wept as connected to the word, crying in

Revelation, 21 and 4. Oh should I suggest that we as

God's people must never get hard-hearted.

We must wake with those that are weep.

We must unite and grief with those urinated and grief because

the Savior wept at the tomb of Lazarus that he not weep, the

city of Jerusalem. Matthew chapter 23 and verse 37,

Matthew 23 · chapter mention

o Jerusalem who Juris he was thinking of the desolation of

the Temple. You think of today's cities are

United Kingdom, the life of The Unborn been murdered almost

5,000. I and Northern Ireland.

Since the abortion law was changed.

You think of the confusion of the young people of their

identity, they don't know whether they're male or female

some agents will call them, or teaching that they're seventy

two genders. It's like California, you could

be a fairy, a leprechaun Stardust.

Did you ever hear such nonsense in your life?

But as poured into the hearts and minds of the young people,

even the children in the primary school, you think of the

godlessness and lawlessness of our political leaders, the lack

of substance in their life that I Out of character, the lack of

God. I was talking to Michael

Harrison, we were talking about Northern Ireland and you know,

what is absent from Northern Ireland, the fear of God and

that was absent from the great city of Jerusalem and today's

cities all over the world and towns and villages, we get out

into the mix, the drunkenness, the adultery, the fornication

homosexuality. Remember over there Paul

emphasizing to the church at Ephesus said in First

Corinthians. 6 and verse 9. He said these words, listen to

the word of God know. You not that the unrighteous

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Be not deceived. Neither.

Fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor

abusers of themselves. With mankind, nor thieves nor

Covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers nor extortioners, shall

inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you in

qarth. But year washed, but ye are

Sanctified. But ye are justified in the name

of the Lord Jesus. And by the spirit of God, Jesus

wept over the city of Jerusalem. I believe he's weeping over our

cities at least in his heart. You think of weeping before the

tree in the Garden of Gethsemane, the book of Hebrews

and Hebrews chapter 5 and verse 7, gives us this information who

Hebrews 5 · chapter mention

in the days of his flesh, when he'd offered up prayers, and

supplication was strong crying. That's our word with.

I'm tears unto him. That was able to see if him from

death and was heard in that he feared It was interesting that

the psalmist talk to God in prayer and he said put my tears

in my bottle sound 57. Andy and What a wonderful thing

it is for God to be able to bottle our tears.

I wonder how many tears we have shared.

With wept with those you have wept and sympathy with wept over

the state of our cities and our nation.

We have wept over particular situations indeed. not only

think about the cause, Of Tears being removed, but think of the

cure for Tears has been revealed.

Here's another reason. Why there's no tears in heaven,

what is the cure for the veil of Tears?

In which we live. Remember I told you this word

crying has to do with a noisy wheel, it's a piercing cry, a

cry of Brokenness, The Cry Of The Reef and it's very

intrusive. And you think of the Ste at of

The Souls of man. Do we weep for the state of The

Souls of man? Think of the state of Northern

Ireland, the state of our United Kingdom.

Think of the state of the church and the Apostle Paul do

ministered in Ephesus ministered are With Many Tears was strong

tears. He said in Acts chapter 20 and

Acts 20 · chapter mention

verse 21 a tremendous statement in Acts 20 and verse 21.

He, he told his they're testifying, both the Jews and

also to the Greeks repentance toward God and Faith toward our

Lord, Jesus Christ, and it's interesting.

He says, in verse 31, therefore watch, and remember that, by the

space of three years, I ceased not to warn every one night and

day with tears. He served the Lord, he prayed,

he preached, he laboured, he sought the wins souls and he was

the Apostle e where he was a picture of Jeremiah of

Jeremiah's. The property week Paul was the

prophet, they are partially wept.

And why did he weep? Because here the state of

Christ, He preached repentance toward God and Faith toward our

Lord Jesus Christ. He seemed the crucified Christ

Christ and the cross substitute security sin Bearer.

Cinders one sacrificial, one saving one, do you see the

crucified Christ? Didn't you see him as the resin

Redeemer, was that there is a redeemer.

That was the cure for Mary, the savior's voice Mary.

And she cried out, right? Bone.

I and the savior's Victory, he told her the tomb was empty.

He told her I am risen from the dead.

Perfect daddy. Perfect Humanity to Nature's and

one body forever. See the ascended Christ.

Where is he tonight? And Laurie.

He's at the right hand of God. Remember he said the Mary touch

me. Not for I am not yet ascended to

my father and he was going there to present the virtue and value

of his once and for all sacrifice and the shed lat, see

the triumphant Christ is seated at God's right hand.

He's able to dispense grease and mercy to us and time of need

Christ is with us. Is he knew all these emotions he

experienced him? He is able to come into our

midst and say to us. Peace.

Be still the word taste means. Be see if be satisfied me.

Sure, we can be in a right relationship with God.

My peace. I give unto you not as the

world. Giveth give, I unto you, let not

your heart, be troubled. Neither, Let It Be Afraid

member. He said that will keep him in.

Perfect. Peace to his eye of the Prophet

whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusts with Annie, do

you have peace with God tonight? Do you know, the peace of God?

Because you've seen the crucified resinous and the

triumphant Christ at God's right hand and you profess him as

Lord. And Savior, you see?

The cure for the vale of Tears is revealed and that curious

Christ assayed of Christ and I marry stopped her weeping when

she got the Sate of Christ and the sound of his voice.

Do you hear his voice tonight? Have you could say eight of

Christ. I want to tell you one final

thing, the crook of Tears has been redeemed.

You see, if you go back to our text that says and God shall

wipe away all tears from their eyes.

What is that? That's a wonderful declaration,

isn't it? But I'll also tell you something

else, that's not only a wonderful decoration, It's a

Wonderful anticipation because this is going to happen in the

new Heaven and the new Earth. He John adds nor crying.

As I've told you, one day in the new Heaven, and the new Earth

will be no tears to Shared. Why?

Because God has removed all the causes of Tears.

Every cause I'm the Cure is found in Christ because as

people are with Christ and there's not going to be that's

Kruk. Anymore.

No intense cry. As I told you that we're trying

has to do with the harsh crook of a raven.

If we translated from the Greek were translating, it literally

crying. We use your thing here and the

English called, automata Pia. If you don't know what that is,

don't worry about it. but you think of it, the sizzle of a

sausage, you think of the call of the cuckoo bird, That call is

like the crook of the Raven. It's a voice of hopeless

mastering and there's a day coming when that will never ever

be hurt again. Have you that Assurance tonight?

Are you see? After you're born again, are you

washed in the blood? Are you in Christ?

Are you looking forward in anticipation?

So that the Declaration is made that there's a day, that, that

cry, that intense, howling and growling will never be heard

again. Let me finish tonight.

I want you to think of a wave just home from hospital.

So struggling with cancer, This is how to surgery.

She is facing chemo. The day.

She comes home, there's a telephone call.

Telephone calls from Scotland. It's a relative to tell her.

Their dad is dead with a heart attack.

Could you just process that the impact of that you're just been

told, you've chance, sir, you've had the operation you're getting

chemo and then you come home and you're told your dad is stayed

on that woman. Give voice to what was in her

Sewell with howls and girls from not home.

And as she was processing, that a few hours leaders, he gets

another call. And this time, it's the place of

the door and the stains is given the news that our brother has

just been killed in a car crash. And I'll tell you if there was

one wheel, there's better wheels that Nate and not home.

Because life is hard so feel of tears and we can experience

we've after real trouble. Some of, you know, that you've

identified with that. But what I'm saying is this,

there's a day coming will not cry.

I will never ever be heard again.

On the crook of Tears has been redeemed forever.

Let me finish tonight. Have you heard of the boy called

a soul? Do you know what a saw dead?

Young people, Esau sold his Birthright.

He sold it for a mess of pottage.

And were told and the Bible. In verse 16 of Hebrews chapter

Hebrews 12 · chapter mention

12 lest there. Be any fornicator or profane

person as Esau who for one morsel of meat, sold his

Birthright for you know, how that afterward when he would

have inherited the blessing, he was rejected for he found no

place of repentance though. He sought it carefully with

tears? Even though he cried.

Esau had sold his Birthright. He didn't inherit the blessing

of the firstborn and Esau died as he lived.

He died a lost soul. That's a not awful.

Place called hell tonight. Because he died with her to

repentance. Can you honestly say that you're

in Christ tonight? Can you personally testify to

that? Have you baigent Leigh common

repentance and fears to the bleeding and Windows 8?

If the Savior and you have Della gently made confession of him as

Lord and Redeemer. Because only through Christ

Christ Alone. That that weeping and wailing

from your mouth from your lips out of your heart.

Will never be heard in heaven. But if you die in your sin, the

lost and go to hell and what the Bible tells us.

But we have contrast, there's weeping and wailing.

And gnashing of teeth. That's what a Shaw's

experiencing. And I'm saying tonight.

Get, hold of Christ, come to him, profession know him as

Lord, and Redeemer last to be too late by the Lord.

Take these few thoughts and bless them to her heart's, the

sea.
