Revelation 21:1–8
Title: Everything's Brand New
People look for a place and time when life’s stresses will not exist. Is such a refuge possible? John, the writer of the book of Revelation, suggests that God will create a new heaven and earth where life’s challenges and stresses will be banished forever.

By the end of the lesson, we will: EVALUATE the “apocalypse” genre that characterizes the book of Revelation to discern how to understand its message; CONTEMPLATE the coming of “a new heaven and a new earth” for the hope that this vision brings; and EMBRACE the peace of God that begins in this life with Jesus.

At-A-Glance
1. All New (Revelation 21:1–2)
2. God Dwells (vv. 3–4)
3. All Done (vv. 5–8)

In Depth
1. All New (Revelation 21:1–2)
John begins this chapter by sharing his vision of a new heaven and earth, a fulfillment of Isaiah 65:17–18. This could be a restored and wholly cleansed version of God’s creation, or it could be an unused, fresh heaven and earth that replaces the one that was marred by sin and its effects—death, sorrow, and chaos. In the ancient Near East, the sea was a symbol of chaos (the Canaanites said the god Yam controlled the seas). John notes that the sea no longer exists, thus implying the establishment of complete order in the new creation.
Not only is there a new heaven and earth, but there’s a new “holy city”—a New Jerusalem—coming down from God Himself. Jerusalem has been at the center of Jewish and Christian tradition. While it is called the “holy city” because God’s presence is said to dwell there, historically it has been marred by division, fighting, death, and chaos from its founding even into the present. In this vision, God presents Jerusalem as a bride—a virgin, untouched, untainted, pure, and presentable to a perfect Christ. He does not “fix” the current Jerusalem by going to it, but He presents a new true Holy City through His presence.
