Now why would we need to have our tears wiped from our eyes? Well, the way I connect it is the last part of Revelation 20, and it states:
The Great White Throne Judgment Revelation 20:11-15 (NKJ)
11) Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12) And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13) The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14) Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Now we go into Revelation 21:1-8
Revelation 21 New King James Version (NKJV)
All Things Made New
1) Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2) Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3) And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4) And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5) Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” 6) And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7) He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8) But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Now.....what is your opinion? My opinion is that I believe we will be observing the Great White Throne Judgement, (not us being judged) and that will be emotional, watching those that we love and even those who are strangers, who never got saved receiving judgement. MM and I talked about this and he said he believes that the sorrow we feel, after God wipes our tears, will be eliminated. Scripture states in Revelation 21:4 that there will be no more sorrow, death, and crying. We won't remember after our tears are wiped away. It's AMAZING to me, that with keeping up with everything, God loves us enough, cares enough, and has the COMPASSION to hold us close to personally wipe away our tears. GLORY! Now absorb that! GLORY! GLORY! PRAISE THE LORD! HALLELUJAH!
