The Revelation of Jesus Christ | The Old Passing and New Beginning – Revelation 21:1-8
John looks out and sees a New Heaven and a New Earth and the sea is gone. The distance that once separated man from God, that vast sea that surrounds the throne, has gone. Throughout the history of the church, Jesus’ acts can best be understood as an invasion to pluck His beloved creation from the grasp of death’s hands. Now, the great intercession is complete and the relationship between heaven and earth become new, resembling a perfected Eden where mankind and God exhibited no separation from one another.
