Revelation 21:4 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Revelation 21:4

2 Then I,¹ John, saw ^athe holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared ^bas a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, ^athe tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 ^aAnd God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; ^bthere shall be no more death, ^cnor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 Then ^aHe who sat on the throne said, ^b“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said¹ to me, “Write, for ^cthese words are true and faithful.”

6 And He said to me, ^a“It is done! ^bI am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. ^cI will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

Revelation 21:4

all tears—Greek, "every tear."

no more death—Greek, "death shall be no more." Therefore it is not the millennium, for in the latter there is death (Isaiah 65:20; I Corinthians 15:26, I Corinthians 15:54, "the last enemy . . . destroyed is death," Revelation 20:14, after the millennium).

sorrow—Greek, "mourning."

passed away—Greek, "departed," as in Revelation 21:1.
