The last book in the Bible brings together into one great vision many themes of God's original creation. In Revelation, heaven comes to earth. The city of God descends to us. God lives among his people and wipes every "tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" (Revelation 21:1-4).
Until then, we have to contend with death, curse, sorrow, and all the bad elements of this present earth when Adam fell by eating the apple from the wrong tree. I shall certainly look forward to the day when heaven descend on earth and God lives with us.
