Revelation 21:1-3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Vision 7: The New Heaven And New Earth And New Jerusalem
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth passed-away. And there is no longer a sea[a]. 2 And I saw the holy city— the new Jerusalem— coming down out of heaven from God, having been prepared like a bride having been adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying “Behold— the dwelling[b] of God is with mankind. And He will dwell with them. And they themselves will be His peoples[c]. And God Himself with them will be their God.
