The LORD says, "I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten.

The words "once more" plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain.

Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe;

But we wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth disappeared, and the sea vanished.

and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age."

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father's care.

and so we look forward to possessing the rich blessings that God keeps for his people. He keeps them for you in heaven, where they cannot decay or spoil or fade away.

They are for you, who through faith are kept safe by God's power for the salvation which is ready to be revealed at the end of time.
