1 Now aI saw a new heaven and a new earth, bfor the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
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 andbe their God.
4aAnd 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.”
Jesus identified Satan as a murderer from the beginning, a liar, and the father of lies (John 8:44). The presence of unrepentant, unbelieving, lying, and murderous demons poses no contradiction to this passage, because they will have been burned up in the Lake of Fire.
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.
