With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
5 And the One seated on the throne said: "Look! I am making all things new." Also, he says: "Write, because these words are faithful and true." Revelations 21:3-5
