1 *Is 65.17;66.22;2 P 3.13Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth disappeared, and the sea vanished. 2 *2 Esd 13.36;Is 52.1;Rev 3.12;Is 61.10And I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared and ready, like a bride dressed to meet her husband. 3 *Ez 37.27;Lv 26.11,12I heard a loud voice speaking from the throne: "Now God’s home is with people! He will live with them, and they shall be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God. 4 *Is 25.8;Is 35.10;65.19He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain. The old things have disappeared."
