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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 21 of Revelation. John sees a new heaven and a new earth because the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. The new Jerusalem descends from heaven like a bride prepared for her husband. A voice declares that God’s tabernacle is with humanity: he will dwell with them, wipe away every tear, and remove death, mourning, crying, and pain. Christian hope is thus presented not simply as escape from creation, but as renewal and the definitive presence of God with his people.

Und ich sah einen neuen Himmel und eine neue Erde; denn der erste Himmel und die erste Erde verging, und das Meer ist nicht mehr.
Y vi un cielo nuevo, y una tierra nueva: porque el primer cielo y la primera tierra se fueron, y el mar ya no es.
Vi un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva, porque el primer cielo y la primera tierra habían pasado, y el mar ya no existe.
Puis je vis un nouveau ciel et une nouvelle terre; car le premier ciel et la première terre avaient disparu, et la mer n'était plus.
POI vidi nuovo cielo, e nuova terra; perciocchè il primo cielo, e la prima terra erano passati, e il mare non era più.
E VI um novo céu, e uma nova terra. Porque já o primeiro céu e a primeira terra passaram, e o mar já não existe.
我又看見一個新天新地,因為先前的天和先前的地已經過去了,海也不再有了。
