Revelation 21:5
Compare all
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.  
7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and aI will be his God and he shall be My son.  
8 aBut the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in bthe lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”  

The New Jerusalem

9 Then one of athe seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came1 to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you bthe bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

What Does Revelation 21:5 Mean?



Revelation 21:2-8

Jesus says that Satan “was a murderer from the beginning” and “is a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44). Is this passage in Revelation 21 wrong because the unrepentant, unbelieving, lying, and murderous demons will still be alive? There is no contradiction. They will have been burned up in the Lake of Fire.
