Exegesis
The final coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ leads into the clause hē thalassa ouk estin eti {ἡ θάλασσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι | hē thá-las-sa ouk é-stin é-ti} ‘and the sea is not any longer’, where the present-tense description evokes a permanent absence through the negated verb ‘is not any longer’. This syntactic progression from vision-report to causal ground and then further coordinate declaration underscores the transformational character of the new creation.
In context — Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the former heaven and the former earth had gone away, and the sea existed no longer.
