And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Read Chapter 21
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
New, by their form and qualities, but not by their substance.
The first heaven and first earth was passed away: being changed, not as to their substance, but in their qualities. (Challoner)
In fornications, in adulteries, and in lies and uncleanness, and in idolatries, and in murders, and in battles. For there shall be the new heaven and the new earth.
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, because the former things have passed away."
