With the removal of God’s enemies from the earth (the beast and the false prophet, Revelation 19:20; Satan, Revelation 20:10; Death and Hades as well as the reprobate, Revelation 20:14–15), the way was open for the Lord to reveal his plan for the restoration of the world he had once created. The previous paragraph (Revelation 21:1–8) showed us how the new heaven and the new earth were united to form a single dwelling place for God with his people. That dwelling place was the “New Jerusalem.” The present section supplies detail about this New Jerusalem.
9 Puis un des sept anges qui tenaient les sept coupes remplies des sept derniers fléaux vint, et il m'adressa la parole, en disant: Viens, je te montrerai l'épouse, la femme de l'Agneau.
