The New Heaven and the New Earth
21 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.(A) 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.(B) 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

He will dwell[b] with them;
they will be his peoples,[c]
and God himself will be with them and be their God;[d](C)

for[e] the first things have passed away.”(D)
