Then the One seated on the throne said, "Look! I am making everything new." He also said, "Write, because these words are faithful and true."

"For I will create a new heaven and a new earth; the past events will not be remembered or come to mind.

I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people. The sound of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

"For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me"-- the LORD's declaration-- "so will your offspring and your name endure.

But based on His promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell.

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. He had 10 horns and seven heads. On his horns were 10 diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.

On that day the LORD with His harsh, great, and strong sword, will bring judgment on Leviathan, the fleeing serpent-- Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waters churn up mire and muck.

Four huge beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.
