Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 21:2

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.The holy city, new Jerusalem ... The writer of this prophecy gave no hint, whatever, of exactly when the appearance of this holy city would occur; and it is therefore a gratuitous amendment of the holy Scriptures for scholars to assert that, "The writers of the New Testament ... expected his second coming ... in their own day."[7] How could such a remark be true in the light... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 21:1

Revelation 21:1.— We are now come, in the course of these prophesies, to the consummation of all things. This vision stands in the prophesy, after the last attempt of the enemies of religion had been defeated; after the dead, small and great, had appeared before God's judgment seat, and were judged according to their works; after the wicked were doomed to everlasting punishment, and all who were not found written in the book of life were cast into the lake of fire. The order of the prophesies... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 21:1-8

Revelation 21:1-8. I saw a new heaven and a new earth, &c.— A new heaven and a new earth succeed in the room of the first heaven and first earth, which passed away at the general judgment, ch. Revelation 20:11. In the new earth there is this remarkable property, that there is no more sea; which, how it is to be effected, time must discover; but it is evident from hence, that this new heaven and earth are not designed to take place, till after the general judgment; for at the general... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 21:1

1. the first—that is the former. passed away—Greek, in A and B is "were departed" (Greek, "apeelthon," not as in English Version, "pareelthe"). was—Greek, "is," which graphically sets the thing before our eyes as present. no more sea—The sea is the type of perpetual unrest. Hence our Lord rebukes it as an unruly hostile troubler of His people. It symbolized the political tumults out of which "the beast" arose, :-.

2. And I John—"John" is omitted in A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and ANDREAS; also the "I" in the Greek of these authorities is not emphatic. The insertion of "I John" in the Greek would somewhat interfere with the close connection which subsists between "the new heaven and earth," :-, and the "new Jerusalem" in this verse. Jerusalem . . . out of heaven— (Revelation 3:12; Galatians 4:26, "Jerusalem which is above"; Hebrews 11:10; Hebrews 12:22; Hebrews 13:14). The descent of the new Jerusalem... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 21:1

1. The vision of the new heaven and earth 21:1John now saw a new scene that expounded the passing away of the present earth and heaven to which he had just referred briefly (Revelation 20:11). The new earth and heaven will come into existence after the Millennium and the great white throne judgment. Many interpreters take the new earth and heaven as a picture of the present age of the church, but this is unwarranted.The reason God will destroy the present heaven and earth is that He originally... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 21:1-5

N. The eternal state 21:1-22:5The next scenes in John’s visions proved to be of conditions that will exist after the Millennium. He recorded this insight to reveal the final home of believers. There are many allusions to Isaiah 60, 65 and Ezekiel 40-48 in this pericope. The final two chapters also tie up strands of revelation from every major previous section of the book. This pericope is a picture of new beginnings, a sharp contrast with the lake of fire, another final end, in the previous... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 21:2

In the same vision, John next saw a city descending out of heaven from God (cf. Revelation 21:10; Revelation 3:12; Hebrews 11:13-16). It was holy in contrast to the former Jerusalem (cf. Revelation 11:8; Isaiah 52:1; Matthew 4:5; Matthew 27:53). As the old Jerusalem will be Jesus Christ’s capital during the Millennium, so the New Jerusalem will be His capital from then on. In the bride-husband simile, the city is the bride, and Christ is the husband (Revelation 21:9-10; cf. Revelation 3:12).... read more
