if you look carefully at the beatitudes (Mat 5:3-12) they all find their fulfillment in revelation chapters 21 and 22:
| Mat 5:3-12 | Rev 21-22 |
| {Mat 5:3} “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. | Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. |
| {4} Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. | Rev 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” |
| {5} Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. | Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. |
| {6} Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. | (Rev 21:26-27 NIV) The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. {27} Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. |
| {7} Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
{8} Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. |
Rev 22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. |
| {9} Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. | Rev 21:7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. |
| {10} Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. | Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. |
| {11} “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
{12} Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. |
(all of Rev 21-22 cf. 2:8). Rev 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. |
