Revelation 21:1a
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth;”
During the Millennial Kingdom, sin and death had not yet been vanquished (Isa.65:20; Rev.20:9). Now John sees the creation of a new heaven and earth (which is in response to the destruction of the previous) and differs fundamentally from the old.
Simply put, the new creation is perfect. There is no more sin, nor death, nor sorrow or crying. Those who populate the new earth enjoy full communion with God, who will wipe away every tear and build a New Jerusalem.
What God creates in the new heaven and new earth will surpass anything which man has imagined.
The Truth
“But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’ ” (1 Cor. 2:9)
