12th week…through Chapter 22
"Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book"

For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.
So as to this first heaven and earth…
John's saying that those are now existing pass away as we saw
in ch. 20:11…
remember it says there that they flee from the presence of God.
and the sea no longer exists.
So, here we now have "Heaven, earth, and sea":
Commentators remind us that "this threefold division of heaven, earth, and sea" represents the whole of this world (referring back to Rev. Chapter 10:6).
