Revelation 21:1-4

a new heaven and
a new earth: for
the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea.
John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem,
coming down
from God out of
heaven,
Prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband. And I
heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes;
and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain: for the
former things are passed
away.
And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make
all things new.

have gone astray;
