1) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6) And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. King James Version (KJV) Public Domain
COMMENTARY
Verses 1 - 3: Now, John sees the new heaven and earth. There is no sea. And he 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. This is how it was set up in the beginning with Adam and Eve. This time will be different, as we will have incorruptible bodies, which will be without sin. Can you even begin to imagine how it will be to never sin again? As much as I try to obey God and glorify Him, I fall so short EVERY day!
There will be people of every nation, every time period there. He will give everyone the same language so we can all talk with each other .
Verse 4: From the fall of man, sorrow has been multiplied to mankind (Genesis 3:16) Now, there will be no sorrow, no death, no crying, no pain. God will wipe away all of our tears.
Verse 5: When He says all things will be new, that also refers to us. It is generally understood that the babies and the old folks will be around 30 years old. Adam and Eve were created as young adults. Jesus started His ministry when He was 30, David became king when he turned 30.
Verse 6: It is finished: the creation, the redemption, the consummation, and the restoration. The "water of life" is both symbolic and literal.
Verse 7: In the letters to the seven churches, there was a promise given to those who overcome; here is the eighth promise to them: we shall inherit all things (1 Corinthians 3: 21-23); and God will be our God and we shall be His son. (Romans 8: 16, 17). Sometimes, to me, prayers seem like making a phone call and only being able to leave a voice message . There seems to be a lot of one way conversations. The response does not always come immediately unless I am praying while in The Word. But the time is quickly coming when I can talk with my God all of the time and He will communicate with me right then! Oh, how I am looking forward to that, aren't you?
