1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the sea was gone.

2 I also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "See, the tabernacle of God is among humans! He will make his home with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God.

4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There won't be death anymore. There won't be any grief, crying, or pain, because the first things have disappeared."

5 The one sitting on the throne said,"See, I am making all things new!" He said,"Write this: ‘These words are trustworthy and true.’"
