The greatest migration in historySome wandered in desert wastelands, Finding no way to a city where they could settle.They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away.Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And he delivered them from their distress.He led them by a straight way to a city where they could
settle.Psalm 107:4-7

God is bringing the people to citiesFrom one man he made every nation of men, that they
should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
Acts 17:26-27The ends of the earth have come to the city

The Fall
Redemption
Creation Gen 1:21 “very good”
THE WAY IT “OUGHT TO BE”
Everything was broken—relationship with God (Gen
2:17), self (Gen 2:25), others (Gen 4:8), the planet
(Gen 3:17-18)
“THE WAY IT IS”
Everything that was lost in the fall was redeemed at the
cross… Col 1:19-20, Luke 19:10, 2Cor 5:19
Until that time God invites us to join him in that
restoration Matt 6:10
“WHAT IT CAN BE”
…and one day will be fully restored“THE WAY IT WILL BE ONE DAY”
Rev. 21:1
