New Creation

Isaiah first envisions new heavens and a new earth where former things are not remembered. Ezekiel sees a renewed land with living waters flowing from a restored temple. Jesus's miracles — healing, calming storms, raising the dead — are signs that the new creation is breaking into the old. Paul declares that anyone in Christ is a new creation and that the whole creation groans in labor waiting for the renewal. Revelation 21 brings the vision to its climax: God makes all things new, death is no more, and the dwelling of God is with humanity in a city that needs no sun, for the Lord God is its light.
