(1) I saw the new heaven and the new earth.

And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them (4) And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.

He is terrible, beyond all gods (5) For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens (6) Confession and beauty are in his sight.

John 10:22-30
(22) Now it was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter (23) And Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon (24) And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: “How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. (25) Jesus answered them: “I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me (26) But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep (27) My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me (28) And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand (29) What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father (30) I and the Father are one.
