SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of a New Heaven and New Earth following the Second Coming, as described in the Bible. Participants argue that this transformation does not necessitate the complete destruction of the current Earth but rather involves a relocation to an existing planet within a new universe. The New Jerusalem is depicted as a cube-shaped structure, measuring 1500 kilometers, which will transport the worthy to this new realm. Additionally, there are speculations about past civilizations experiencing similar transitions, possibly referencing Mars as a former life-sustaining planet.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Biblical eschatology
  • Familiarity with the concept of the New Jerusalem
  • Knowledge of cosmology and planetary science
  • Awareness of historical interpretations of planetary life
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the theological implications of the New Jerusalem in Christian eschatology
  • Explore theories regarding the potential for life on Mars and its historical context
  • Investigate the concept of cosmic relocation in various religious texts
  • Examine interpretations of the destruction and recreation of Earth in different theological frameworks
USEFUL FOR

Theologians, cosmologists, and individuals interested in the intersection of religion and science, particularly those exploring eschatological themes and planetary life theories.

After the second coming and the 1000 year period, and upon the final destruction of the Devil, the Bible states a New Heaven and a New Earth will be made. I now feel that this will take place in a different location in the Universe upon a Planet already existing and waiting for Life. If you look at it in the present context that people currently believe then an ENTIRELY new UNIVERSE would have to be created (after this UNIVERSE is completely destroyed). I do not believe this will be the case. I think the Biblical statement "If you "create" a new EARTH", does not necessarily mean destroying completely the present Earth and making a new one in its' current location. Rather, I believe that all those "left alive" will one day be transported "in the New Jersulaem" from Earth to the NEW Earth which is far, far away and will be in an area of the "New Universe" (new location) that, when one gazes upon the Stars from their new Earth, the "Heavens" will display a completely new view, thus a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW Earth. The Bible describes the "New Jerusalem as a cube shaped 1500 Kilomter sized object placed upon the Earth. More than adequate to take away all those worthy to their new home. Then, this present Earth will be completely destroyed, perhaps as the "Planet" that used to exist between Mars and Jupiter but is now an "asteroid" belt. I also feel that these events have occurred in past history to other civilizations. Maybe Mars was once filled with life and they were all taken away (perhaps to Earth) for a new life. Hmmmm.

Every Halloween I sit in a pumkin patch and wait for the Great Pumpkin to appear and every Halloween I end up dozing off and missing him. This time I'm going to sleep all day and drink 12 cups of coffee. This time I will not miss the Great Pumpkin.
