21:2 coming down from God: The new creation is a gift from God. In the beginning, God created everything good, and in the end, God will create a new, unbroken world. • This picture of Jerusalem as a beautiful bride (see Isa 61:10) contrasts starkly with the vision of Babylon (or Rome) as the prostitute (Rev 17:4-5; 18:2-3; see study note on 21:9–22:9).
