Footnotes
1: “no longer be any curse”
This can be fulfilled partially during our lifetimes as God begins to take away the effects of sin in our lives, but it will be fulfilled completely after we get to heaven. Old Testament prophecy was full of double fulfillments, and this could be another one. The other possibility is that it could have nothing to do with this life but be referring only to our arrival in heaven because that is when the curse of death will truly be eliminated. I think it could be either one because symbolism does not always conform to our theological understanding of things nor to clearly marked periods of time. Even though it could possibly be both now and then, it seems best to consider it a reference to a future act of God which is mentioned in a discussion of things that are true right now in order to give us something to look forward to. If this one statement is about heaven, it does not mean that all of this section is about heaven, symbolism can jump around like that.
