Why would there be 'anguish of nations not knowing the way out'? Because of "the roaring of the sea". What does this mean?
If we read what Isaiah 57:20 likens the sea to, we get a glimpse of what Jesus meant...
"Earth" at times, depending on context, can refer to 'people', like in Genesis 11:1.
And Ephesians 3:10 compares the rulers / governments / kingdoms to "heavenly places". I.e., "powers of the heavens"? (And kingdoms are what God's Kingdom will.....well, read it for yourself @ Daniel 2:44 & Revelation 16 14,16.)
Now, use this knowledge to understand Revelation 21:1-5. Really, these verses are a fulfillment of Jesus' prayer @ Matthew 6:9-10. (So, amid all this mess occurring now, Mankind's future is bright! After Jehovah and Jesus step in.)
These are my beliefs.
Peace to all my cousins!
