"WHY SHOULD WE STAND AGHAST AT NOTHINGNESS?"

John J. Selover

The Revelator tells us of "a new heaven and a new earth" (Rev. 21:1), in which there is no sorrow or pain and in which the former things—the errors which often seem troublesome in human experience —are no longer present. According to the teachings of Christian Science, this new heaven and earth are here now. There is no need to wait until some future time to enjoy them, for they are to be found in our own spiritualized consciousness.

In the steps leading to John's final vision of the new heaven and the new earth, the great red dragon, the dragon of error, is cast out into the earth. The promise which specifies the blessings that we shall enjoy when we cast the dragon out of our experience is thus stated by the Revelator (21:7): "He that overcometh shall inherit all things."
