And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, as a bride adorned for her husband.” “And I heard,” it is said, “a great voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them; and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them as their God. And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, because the former things have passed away.” Isaiah”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "The Church Fathers" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/the-church-fathers/the-sea-he-says-gave-up-the-dead-which-it-had-in-it-and-death-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/the-church-fathers-1438_book-of-life_the-sea-he-says-gave-up-the-dead-which-i_193579.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/the-church-fathers-1438_book-of-life_the-sea-he-says-gave-up-the-dead-which-i_193579.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/the-church-fathers-1438_book-of-life_the-sea-he-says-gave-up-the-dead-which-i_193579.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The sea,” he says, “gave up the dead which it had in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead that they…” — The Church Fathers", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book-of-life/the-church-fathers/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book-of-life/the-church-fathers/", "name": "Book of life Quotes by The Church Fathers", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/book-of-life/the-church-fathers/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/the-church-fathers-1438_book-of-life_the-sea-he-says-gave-up-the-dead-which-i_193579.jpg" }, "description": "1 Book of life quotes by The Church Fathers.
