This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
New (καινὸν)
See on Mat 26:29. Compare Isa 65:17.
There was no more sea (ἡ θάλασσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἔπι)
Lit., as Rev., the sea is no more. Here as in Rev 20:13. Some explain the sea as the ungodly world. I cannot help thinking this interpretation forced. According to this explanation, the passage is in the highest degree tautological. The first earth was passed away, and the ungodly world was no more.
