2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of _persons_ ought ye to be in all holy _conversation_ and godliness, [12] Looking for and _hasting_ unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [13] _Nevertheless_ we, according to his _promise_, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein _dwelleth_ _righteousness_.

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the _tabernacle_ of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God _himself_ shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither _sorrow_, nor _crying_, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

[5] Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be _unstopped_. [6] Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the _wilderness_ shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

9. They Shall Live Where They Build and Eat What They Plant.
Isaiah 65:21-23 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant _vineyards_, and eat the fruit of them.
