“and there was no more sea” [Revelation 21:1]

<b>“and there was no more sea”.</b>  In several chapters in Revelation sea is mentioned: chapter 4 describes a sea of glass, like crystal before the throne. Ch.5 every creature in the sea crying blessing and glory unto the Lamb. Ch.7 the wind was not to blow on the sea and an angel was given permission to harm the sea. Ch.8 the sea becomes blood and a third of the creatures die. Ch.10 shows us an angel with one foot in the sea. Ch.12 a beast is seen rising out of the sea. There is also a sea of glass mingled with fire and an angel pours a vial of God’s wrath upon the sea and finally the sea gives up her dead before the great white judgment throne.

Here in Ch.21 there is no more sea. Mystery (the sea holds many mysteries), rebellion (we know the anger of the waves) and turbulence (life can be like a turbulent sea) are done away. And there will be no more partings.
