Revelation 21:1

[Verses 1-5 are a chiasm framed by new, gone and no longer exists/will no longer exist, see verses 1 and 4-5. Central to this are verses 2-3, where John sees and hears about the perfect communion with God.]
Then I saw (and I saw) a new (better) heaven (sky) and a new (better; completely new kind of) earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (disappeared, passed by) –
and the sea was no more.
[The promise of a new heaven and a new earth is fulfilled, see Isa. 65:17; 66:22; 2 Pet. 3:13. In Judaism, seven heavens are described, but only three are mentioned in the Bible:
The sky and atmosphere closest to the earth (where the birds fly), see Gen. 1:20. Space and the universe with the sun, moon, and stars, see Ps. 8:4; Matt. 24:29; Eph. 6:12. God's throne and dwelling place, see 2 Cor. 12:2; Acts 7:55–56; Heb. 8:1 The sea and waters often represent chaos and evil, see Rev 13:1; 17:5. The absence of the sea speaks of peace and security. However, there will be water and rivers in the new world, see Rev 22:1. Since it does not say "seas" but "sea" in the definite form, it may also refer to a specific sea – "the Red Sea", see Isa. 11:15–16; 51:10.]
