Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. - Isaiah 65:17
For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your offspring and your name remain. - Isaiah 66:22
According to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. - 2 Peter 3:13
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. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 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. 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.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” - Revelation 21:1-5
