Revelation 21

“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God” (3). The coming of the New Jerusalem from heaven symbolized the fulfilment of God’s promise: that He will live among us, and we will enjoy His presence without any shadows. Jesus’ kingdom will be fully realized: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore” (v4).

“Behold, I am making all things new” (5). The healing, rebirth, and joy we taste now by faith in Christ will one day extend to the whole world.
