What does the Bible say about new heaven and new earth?

The Bible doesn't end with escape from earth—it ends with the renewal of all things. God's ultimate plan is not to abandon His creation but to purify and remake it. Key King James Version passages include Revelation 21:1, Revelation 21:3-4, Revelation 21:5. This page collects 10 KJV verses about new heaven and new earth, each quoted in full.

What is the new heaven and new earth?

The new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1) is God's final act of creation—a renewed, purified universe where righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:13). God will dwell directly with His people (Revelation 21:3), and the curse of sin will be completely removed (Revelation 22:3). It is the eternal home of the redeemed.

Will the earth be destroyed or renewed?

Scripture uses both language of destruction (2 Peter 3:10) and renewal (Revelation 21:5 — 'I make all things new'). Many theologians understand this as a purging and transformation of the existing creation rather than total annihilation—similar to how fire refines gold rather than destroying it.
