1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. 2 And I saw the holy city--the new Jerusalem--descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: |Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more--or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.| 5 And the one seated on the throne said: |Look! I am making all things new!| Then he said to me, |Write it down, because these words are reliable and true.| Revelation 21:1-5, New English Translation.
