The new *creation - Revelation 21:1-8

v1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared. And the sea did not still exist. v2 And I saw the holy city, which is the New Jerusalem. I saw it coming down out of heaven from God. The city was like a woman who has dressed for her wedding. The city was like a bride, ready to join her husband. v3 And I heard a loud voice from the *throne. The voice said, ‘Now the home of God is with people. He will live with them and they will be his own people. God himself will be with them and he will be their God. v4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Nobody will ever die again. Nobody will ever be sad again. Nobody will weep and nobody will suffer pain. These things all belonged to the old world, which does not now exist.’ formal party garments for teen girls
v5 God, who sits on the *throne, spoke. He said, ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Then he said, ‘Write this. What I am saying is true. You can believe it.’
v6 God said to me, ‘All these things are now complete. I am the first and the last. I am the beginning and the end. I will give water to all who need a drink. This comes from a fountain where the water gives life. And they will not have to pay anything for it. v7 Those who overcome will receive these things from me. I will be their God and they will be my children. v8 But the future for many people will be in the lake that burns with fire and *sulphur. This is the second death. Those people include:
· cowards
· those who refuse to believe
· those who do evil things
· those who murder
· those who *sin in sex
· those who do magic
· those who *worship FALSE GODS
· those who tell lies.’
