The New Jerusalem

21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared. Now there was no sea. ² And I saw the holy city coming down out of heaven from God. This holy city is the new Jerusalem.^[a] It was prepared like a bride dressed for her husband. ³ I heard a loud voice from the throne. The voice said, “Now God’s home is with men. He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God.^{[b] 4} He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain. All the old ways are gone.”
