Revelation 21:1 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.

Is it then to be like as it was before the continents, where the land mass was all one?

Comprised with.Barnes Notes: All of chapter 21 and the first five verses of chapter 22, relate to scenes descriptive of the happy and triumphant state of those redeemed (those who go to the Redemption Centre for their money, etc, are those having been of good heart). 
   At this time conflicts will have ceased and all enemies destroyed. That happy state is depicted under the image of a beautiful city, of which Jerusalem was the emblem and it was disclosed to John by a vision of that city. It was called the New Jerusalem, depicted as descending from heaven. Jerusalem was regarded as the peculiar dwelling place of God and to the Hebrews it became thus the natural emblem or symbol of the heavenly world. All that follows is in keeping with that and is a carrying out of the image John saw. It is a city into which nothing impure ever enters, a city filled with trees and streams and fountains and fruits.

Comprised with.Barnes Notes:.about, 'were passed away', these three words in the original are just one word, 'passed' and that word is in the Greek aorist tense, in the active voice and indicative mood, meaning the writer, was writing about what he saw and speaking about what he saw as he saw it and noting that what he was seeing took the place on the Earth as we know it, that is, it was in process of passing away and being replaced with this new heaven and Earth, where all evil frequencies will be changed and only the good will be extant for evermore.

Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; 2Peter 3:13.

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Also Revelation 3:12.

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying Behold the tabernacle.(where the Creator dwells is in His house, in us).of God is with men.(where?).and he will.(words 'he will' not in original, that just how the translators thought way back when; it means God dwells with man; well then how close is He?).dwell with them and they shall be.(why shall be?).his people and God himself shall be with them and be their God.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from.(Isaiah 25:8).their eyes and there shall be no more death.(*), neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

It was the former things, such as the harmful things of today produced by the evil ones of today, that caused sorrow, crying and pain.

Original for 'passed away' is 'passing away' and means 'in process of separation so as not to be remembered'. Change finally has come toward the good.

Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.(how? and what?.Ezekiel 11:19; the heavenly Father-God's greatest concern is with sentient beings; all things in heaven and even the Earth itself will be renewed as it was at least one time before man's time as we know it to be on Earth). And he said unto me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done.(*). I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.(?). I freely give unto him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water of life.

Revelation 21:7 He that overcomes.(original is 'conquers', but what and how?.Romans 8:37 "...we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.").shall inherit all things.(1Corinthians 3:21-23).and I will be his God and he shall be my son.

Ok, but what about those who have difficulty being conquerors?

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful.and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful.(who are they?).and unbelieving.(the unbelieving are those like the shortsighted ancients, not caring about the things of God, so consumed they were with their own living:.Jeremiah 44:16,17; Romans 1:28-32; Galatians 5:21).and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers.(those not interested in living on the high consciousness road).and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Jude 1:12 "These are spots in your feasts of charity when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about by winds. They are trees whose fruit withers and don't have any fruit. These are they who are twice dead, plucked up by the roots."

Barnes Notes:.The fearful are those fearful of God because of how wickedly they have lived in harming others.

The unbelieving are those who took no effort to even ask someone to believe for them until they were able to. Never despair. Ask someone for help.

Comprised with.Barnes Notes: The.abominable. The verb from which this word is derived means, to excite disgust, to feel disgust at, to abominate or abhor and hence the participle, 'the abominable', refers to all who are detestable, to wit, all dishonest persons whose conduct is offensive to both man and God. Thus it would include those who unashamedly live openly in wantonness by dissolutely engaging detestable.vices in their selfish expeiences, which excite disgust and abhorrence in those offended by them. These must all, of course, be excluded from a pure and holy world and this description, alas! would embrace.a.lamentably large portion of the world as it has hitherto been:.Romans 1:21-32.

Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 

Revelation 21:11-18 Having the glory of God and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high and had twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and the gates thereof and the wall thereof. And the city lies foursquare and the length is as large as the breadth and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper. And the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

Revelation 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl.(pearls come in various colors). And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it, for the glory of God.(an invisible glory; the light is in us when we are of higher consciousness where we are aligned with the oneness of God).did lighten it and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Revelation 21:24,25 And the saved.(*).nations walk in the light of it. And the kings of the Earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day.

Revelation 21:26 For there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination or makes a lie, but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

It's a time of no more tears and those having caused the tears will be gone. The kingdom of God will be a clean kingdom..And who is this 'Lamb'?

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defiles.(poisons created by humans defiles all humanity; poisons in the food, water, air and injected through the arms into the blood stream as well as those things which defile man spiritually:.Matthew 15:17-20 "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies and these are the things which defile a man..."), neither whatsoever works abomination.(contrived unnecessary war is an abomination).or makes a lie.(concoctions.touted as food are lies {GM 'food'}; financial shortages are lies; lack of food, land and water and too many people are incorrect assumptions; education spouts lies when it fails to teach humanity's provable beginnings, and spiritual self that uses the physical body we have, opting for evolution instead and lies by omission when it avoids principles of how to live happily and successfully in society; but, what about the lie Rahab the prostitute told the authorities? this was different), but they which are written.(and who are they?).in the Lamb's book of life.(a book belonging to the Lamb, open to all whose hearts have turned toward God and away from the low consciousness thinking that has brought on all their problems).

....continues to Chapter 22
