وَسيَمْسَحُ كُلَّ دَمْعَةٍ مِنْ عُيُونِهِم، وٱلمَوْتُ لَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ بَعْد، ولا ٱلنَّوْح، ولا ٱلصُّرَاخ، ولا ٱلوَجَعُ يَكونُ مِنْ بَعْد، لأَنَّ ٱلأَشيَاءَ ٱلأُولى قَدْ زَالَتْ
رؤيا القدّيس يوحنّا14/14.12-1:21/”يا إِخوَتِي، رأَيتُ سَمَاءً جَدِيدةً وأَرْضًا جَدِيدَة، فَٱلسَّمَاءُ ٱلأُولَى وٱلأَرْضُ ٱلأُولَى قَدْ زَالَتَا، وٱلبَحْرُ لا يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْد. وٱلمَدينَةُ ٱلمُقَدَّسَةُ ٱلجَدِيدَةُ رأَيْتُهَا نَازِلَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاء، مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلله، مُهَيَّأَةً كَعَرُوُسٍ مُزَيَّنَةٍ لِرَجُلِهَا. وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا عَظيمًا مِنَ ٱلعَرْشِ يَقُول: «هُوَذَا مَسْكِنُ ٱللهِ مَعَ ٱلبَشَر، فَهُوَ سَيَسْكُنُ مَعَهُم، وَهُم يَكُونُونَ شُعُوبًا لَهُ، وٱللهُ نَفْسُهُ يَكُونُ مَعَهُم، إِلهًا لَهُم. وَسيَمْسَحُ كُلَّ دَمْعَةٍ مِنْ عُيُونِهِم، وٱلمَوْتُ لَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ بَعْد، ولا ٱلنَّوْح، ولا ٱلصُّرَاخ، ولا ٱلوَجَعُ يَكونُ مِنْ بَعْد، لأَنَّ ٱلأَشيَاءَ ٱلأُولى قَدْ زَالَتْ!». وقالَ ٱلجَالِسُ عَلَى ٱلعَرْش: «هَاءَنَذا أَجْعَلُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ جَدِيدًا». وقال: «أُكْتُبْ! لأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَقْوَالَ عَدْلٌ وَحقّ!». وقالَ لي: «لَقَد تَمَّت! أَنَا ٱلأَلِفُ وٱليَاء، ٱلبِدَايَةُ وٱلنِّهَايَة. أَنا أُعْطِي ٱلعَطْشَانَ مِن يَنْبُوعِ مَاءِ ٱلحَيَاةِ مَّجَانًا. أَلظَّافِرُ يَرِثُ كُلَّ هذَا، وسَأَكُونُ لَهُ إِلهًا، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا. أَمَّا ٱلجُبَنَاءُ وٱلكُفَّار، وٱلأَرْجَاسُ وٱلقَتَلَة، وٱلفُجَّارُ وٱلسَّحَرَة، وعَابِدُو ٱلأَوْثَانِ وٱلكَذَّابُونَ جَمِيعًا، فَنَصِيبُهُم في ٱلبُحَيْرَةِ ٱلمُتَّقِدَةِ بِٱلنَّارِ وٱلكِبْرِيت، وهذَا هُوَ ٱلمَوتُ ٱلثَّاني!». وأَتَى واحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلمَلائِكَةِ ٱلسَّبعَةِ ٱلحَامِلينَ ٱلكُؤُوسَ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلمَلأَى مِنَ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلأَخيرَة، وكَلَّمَنِي قائِلاً: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيكَ ٱلمَرْأَةَ عَرُوسَةَ ٱلحَمَل!». وَنَقَلَنِي بِٱلرُّوحِ إلى جَبَلٍ عَظِيمٍ عَالٍ، فأَرَانِي ٱلمَدِينَةَ ٱلمُقَدَّسَةَ نَازِلَةً مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، مِنَ عِنْدِ ٱلله، وَلَهَا مَجْدُ ٱلله، ولَمَعَانُهَا أَشْبَهُ بِحَجَرٍ كَرِيم، كَحَجَرِ ٱليشْبِ ٱلبِلَّورِيّ. وَلَها سُورٌ عَظِيمٌ عالٍ، وَلَهَا ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ بَابا، وعَلى الأَبْوَابِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلاكًا وأَسْمَاءٌ مَكْتُوبَة، هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرائِيلَ ٱلٱثْنَي عَشَر: وسُورُ ٱلمَدِينَةِ لَهُ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَسَاسًا، وعَلَيْهَا ٱثْنَا عَشَر ٱسْمًا، هيَ أَسْمَاءُ رُسُلِ ٱلحَمَلِ ٱلٱثْنَي عَشَر”.

He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; & will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Book of Revelation 21/01-12.14: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.’Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’And in the spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It has the glory of God and a radiance like a very rare jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. It has a great, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates are inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites; And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

دَعْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضًا، حَتَّى أَنْكُشَ حَوْلَهَا، وَأُلْقِيَ سَمَادًا، لَعَلَّها تُثْمِرُ في السَّنَةِ القَادِمَة، وَإِلاَّ فَتَقْطَعُها!
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا13/من06حتى09/قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ هذَا المَثَل: «كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ تِينَةٌ مَغْرُوسَةٌ في كَرْمِهِ، وَجَاءَ يَطْلُبُ فيهَا ثَمَرًا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ. فقالَ لِلكَرَّام: هَا إِنِّي مُنْذُ ثَلاثِ سِنِين، آتي وَأَطْلُبُ ثَمَرًا في هذِهِ التِّينَةِ وَلا أَجِد، فٱقْطَعْهَا! لِمَاذَا تُعَطِّلُ الأَرْض؟ فَأَجابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا سَيِّد، دَعْهَا هذِهِ السَّنَةَ أَيْضًا، حَتَّى أَنْكُشَ حَوْلَهَا، وَأُلْقِيَ سَمَادًا، لَعَلَّها تُثْمِرُ في السَّنَةِ القَادِمَة، وَإِلاَّ فَتَقْطَعُها!».

let it alone for one more year, If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.
Luke 13/06-09/” Then Jesus told this parable: ‘A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, “See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?” He replied, “Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig round it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.” ’
