Revelation of John 21:5

Verse 5. And he that sat upon the throne said. Probably the Messiah, the dispenser of the rewards of heaven. Rev 20:11.

Behold, I make all things new. A new heaven and new earth, (Rev 21:1,) and an order of things to correspond with that new creation. The former state of things when sin and death reigned will be changed, and the change consequent on this must extend to everything.

And he said unto me, Write. Make a record of these things, for they are founded in truth, and they are adapted to bless a suffering world. Compare Barnes on "Re 14:13". See also Rev 1:19.

For these words are true and faithful. They are founded in truth, and they are worthy to be believed. Rev 19:9. Compare also Barnes on "Da 12:4".
