This means the old heaven and the old earth has passed away. It has fulfilled its purpose and brought about Gods eternal desire: His bride and his building. Both are the same. God wants His eternal habitation and that eternal habitation is the bride of the Lamb. God‘s people have matured to become his tabernacle and his bride. Beyond our time on earth he has used 1000+ years to mature and bring her to his purpose. And then everything comes to this new earth. We are so fixated on going up yet God is determined to come down. He is at last on earth to dwell with us. This is his desire and goal. Do we not want to be after his desire? Of course we do and this is what we will want. Religion and traditional thinking has put our thoughts in the wrong realm. our thoughts are riveted on where we are going. His thoughts are fixed on who we are becoming. May we find ourselves open to what he is doing and what he is wanting in these last days. A mature bride and a habitable city for our holy God.
