Bible Quote Jun 2nd Revelation 21: 2-4

“I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘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.”” Revelation 21: 2-4 NIV

Revelations was thought by early theologians to have been written by the apostle John. It is the same language used in his Gospel and letters. Modern theologians question it as it sounds like John became old. John had thought Jesus had told him he would not die. But he later realised that Jesus had not said that. Elijah had not died. John seems to have died at least twice. Killed by Romans upset at his community work. Then, later more permanently, of natural causes. Probably he died at Ephesus.

Here, John reveals a prophetic vision of life after Jesus finally and forever addresses evil.
