Revelation 21:1 (ESV Strong's)
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
The new heaven and earth will be the Bride of Christ where the two are joined as one. The union of Adam and Eve foreshadows this wondrous event to come.
Those who rise from the sea of mankind and take on the image of Christ and become the image of Christ in His resurrected body of flesh and a spirit reborn from above.
Revelation 21:2-4 (ESV Strong's)
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Scripture tells us that God will dwell with mankind, joined with the Bride of Christ, and sitting on the throne of David in the New Jerusalem which descends from heaven.
Revelation 21:5 (ESV Strong's)
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
This is the new and final creation, for these words are trustworthy and true.
