Revelation 214

Revelation 21:4 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, found in the Book of Revelation. The verse reads: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." This passage is part of John's vision of the New Jerusalem, a symbolic representation of the restored and perfected creation. The Hebrew translation of this verse is וּמָחָה אֱלֹהִים כָּל-דִּמְעָה מֵעֵינֵי הֶם, וְהַמָּוֶת לֹא-יִהְיֶה עוֹד, וְלֹא-יִהְיֶה עוֹד אֵבֶל וְצְעָקָה וְכָעָס, כִּי הָרִאשׁוֹנִים עָבָרוּ. In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is written as καὶ καταργήσει ὁ θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ θάνατος οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι, οὐδὲ πῆμα οὐδὲ κραυγὴ οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι, ὅτι τὰ πρῶτα ἀπῆλθον. This verse is often interpreted as a promise of God's ultimate victory over suffering and death, offering hope and comfort to believers. It is frequently cited in discussions about the end times, eschatology, and the hope of eternal life in Christian theology.
