1 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

2 "I saw the Sacred City, the New Yaravsalem, coming down out of heaven from the Almighty One, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

3 "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Now the dwelling of the Almighty One is with men, and He will live with them.   They will be His people, and Yahveh Himself will be with them and be their Almighty One.

4 "'He will wipe every tear from their eyes.   There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.'"
