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.

Verse 3 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.

Y oí una gran voz del cielo que decía: He aquí el tabernáculo de Dios con los hombres, y morará con ellos; y ellos serán su pueblo, y el mismo Dios será su Dios con ellos.
Oí una voz fuerte que salía del trono y decía: «He aquí, la morada de Dios está entre los seres humanos. Él habitará con ellos, ellos serán sus pueblos y Dios mismo estará con ellos.
Et j'entendis du trône une forte voix qui disait: Voici le tabernacle de Dieu avec les hommes! Il habitera avec eux, et ils seront son peuple, et Dieu lui-même sera avec eux.
Ed io udii una gran voce dal cielo, che diceva: Ecco il tabernacolo di Dio con gli uomini, ed egli abiterà con loro; ed essi saranno suo popolo, e Iddio stesso sarà con essi Iddio loro;
E ouvi uma grande voz do céu, que dizia: Eis aqui o tabernáculo de Deus com os homens, pois com eles habitará, e eles serão o seu povo, e o mesmo Deus estará com eles, e será o seu Deus.
我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來,說: 「看哪,上帝的帳幕在人間! 他要和他們同住, 他們要作他的子民。 上帝要親自與他們同在。
