21:1 What does it mean "and there was no more sea"?
The general consensus among bible commentators is that this means that there will be no more large oceans, which presently cover about three quarters of the earth's surface.
But there will be some seas, as well as river systems and lakes, as scriptures clearly teach (cp Psa 72:8; Jer 5:22; 31:35-36; Zech 9:10; 14:8).
