I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beaufully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, C)*(+) - “Now the dwelling of God is with men, P#$%'( - and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. C)*(+) -He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
