Do you think there will be a New Heaven and new earth?

there will be a new heaven and a new earth and it will be perfect.\n\n\nIsaiah, chapter 65\n\n17: "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. \n\n18: But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. \n\n19: I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. \n\n20: No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. \n\n21: They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. \n\n22: They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. \n\n23: They shall not labor in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD, and their children with them. \n\n24: Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear. \n\n25: The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, says the LORD." \n\n\n\nRevelation, chapter 21\n\n\n1: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. \n\n2: And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; \n\n3: and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; \n\n4: he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away." \n\n5: And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." \n\n6: And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment. \n\n7: He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. \n\n8: But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death." \n\n9: Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." \n\n10: And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, \n\n11: having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. \n\n12: It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed; \n\n13: on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. \n\n14: And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. \n\n15: And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. \n\n16: The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal. \n\n17: He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits b

no, Jesus said "the poor you will always have with you".\n\nIt would appear that Jesus the most generous loving person on earth was rather pragmatic too.\n\n***\nof course there will be a "new heaven and a new earth", - there everything will be restored to righteousness.

This very well may be the start.  If it is, there will be annihilation beyond comprehension. There will be a few survivors in remote areas who will repopulate the earth.\n\nThat is; after the earth heals itself.

Of course there will be.  It wouldn't be heaven without it.

All life is supposed to end soon.  What is happening right now is in preparation for that.  There is a new planet somewhere in our galaxy that is much more stable than our own planet, and this is where Heaven will be.\n\nYou see, not everyone can be allowed to go there.  There are many sick and twisted people in the world, and even more people with messed up genetics and all sorts of deformities.  It's sad, but in order to preserve the integrity of life in the Universe only the strongest, purest souls can be allowed to go to the new Heaven.\n\nWhat is happening to our planet and solar system is that the conditions that are optimal for supporting life are no longer present, and the Gods had to find a new planet with energy fields suitable for their souls.  Soon our solar system will collapse, and we'll be swept into the cosmic wind some time around 2012.  Until then, our planet will get hotter and our weather more extreme.\n\nIt will suck very much, and I'm pretty sure our souls will survive for a short time after our bodies have passed away.  But our souls, mangled by all the heavy metals and pollutants we drank and ate and breathed everyday, will not know how to escape Earth or it's not-very-suitable-for-souls environment.  Eventually, they will get toasted.\n\nThere are definitely some people working behind the scenes here on Earth that know about all this.  There will either be people who start breaking out their Bibles and start trying to say the Muslims are the Antichrist.  They will try to keep all the people of Earth separated, and try to keep them from thinking about the real scientific stuff that is happening to their planet.  And then there may be the group who is really trying to save Earth, because they know what's going on and they know they're not going to Heaven.

gosh it seems like a lot of people are pretty skeptical about what you are saying but i am in agreement with you.  now i am not very knowledgeable on endtimes prophecies but i would not be completely surprised if Jesus' second coming were to occur in this age.\n\nWith that said, it is not for us to predict or prepare for the exact date of Jesus' second coming but every day we should live as if it were the last.

i beleive Jesus will have his second coming and the world will enveloped in flames. the end. its not all that bad because in the bible it says we will all live in heaven in new perfect bodies and in paradise.\nbut scientificly, the earth will lose its outer protection and the sun will scorch the earth, so the bible is right\nand if that doent happen, the we will destroy the earth by cutting down the trees, cutting off oxygen for us people\nand there is also global warming\ni think whatever starts, end...

Who Will Be Resurrected? Where Will They Live? \n\nHow many will live in Paradise on earth?— The Bible does not say. But God had told Adam and Eve while they were in the garden of Eden to have children and fill the earth. True, they failed to do that. But God will see to it that his purpose to have the earth filled with good people is carried out.—Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 45:18; 55:11.\n\nJust think how wonderful it will be to live in Paradise! The whole earth will become like a park. It will be alive with birds and animals and beautiful with trees and flowers of every kind. No one will have pain because he is sick, nor will anyone have to die. Everyone will be a friend of everyone else. If we want to live forever in Paradise, now is the time to prepare for it.\n\nIn the new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) At that time Jesus will use his God-given power to raise the dead because, as he said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” (John 11:25) He also said: “All those in the memorial tombs [in God’s memory] will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29.\n\n Great will be the joy earth wide when group after group of dead persons come back to life to join their loved ones! No longer will there be obituary columns to bring sadness to the survivors. Instead, there may well be just the opposite: announcements of newly resurrected ones to bring joy to those who loved them. So no more funerals, funeral pyres, crematoriums, or cemeteries!\n\nTrue peace in all areas of life will be realized. Wars, promoters of wars, and the manufacturing of weapons will be things of the past. \n“they will not lift up sword, nation against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.”—Micah 4:3.\n\nMan and beast will also be at peace, as they were in Eden. (Genesis 1:28; 2:19) God says: “For them I shall certainly conclude a covenant in that day in connection with the wild beast of the field and with the flying creature of the heavens and the creeping thing of the ground, and . . . I will make them lie down in security.”—Hosea 2:18.\nNever again will the animals be a threat to man or to themselves. Even “the lion will eat straw just like the bull”!—Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25.\n\nThe entire earth will be transformed into a paradise home for mankind. That is why Jesus could promise a man who believed in him: “You will be with me in Paradise.” The Bible says: “The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. . . . For in the wilderness waters will have burst out, and torrents in the desert plain.”—Luke 23:43; Isaiah 35:1, 6.\n\nUnder God’s Kingdom, hunger will never again afflict millions. “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth.\n\nNo more will there be poverty, homeless people, slums, or neighborhoods overrun with crime. “They will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. Isaiah 65:21, 22\n\n“The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. . . . The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm 37:11, 29\n\nGod’s Kingdom rule will undo all the damage done to the human family for the past six thousand years. The joys at that time will far outweigh any suffering that people have experienced. Life will not be disturbed by any bad memories of previous suffering. The upbuilding thoughts and activities that will be the everyday life of people will gradually erase the painful memories.

Well to describe how big the universe is, There are as many galaxys as grains of sand on a beach. I'm pretty sure we would find another body of life, The universe is endless as we know it. There may be another earth out there where dinosaurs are still the rulers of the planet but, even if we did have the technology the goverment would never tell us. It would cause to much religion chaos and destory them. The goverment likes religion its all about control of actions.

The bible doesn't answer this one.  I personally don't think they will stay as babies in heaven just as people who die old will not be old.  the bible says we will be given a new body and I would imagine it will be a body that can voluntarily be able to worship God etc.\n\nMy daughter died at a few weeks old and I always imagine her as a beautiful young woman in heaven.  \n\nThis is one of those questions that will be answered when we get there!

There is no way to tell until u are there. Heaven is gonna be a new world, with mansions and streets of gold. It's way better than what the mind can think of.

I agree with you in part -- that heaven and hell are in other dimension(s) than our current physical universe.\n\nHowever I do not think we create these dimensions (God does).\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org

When studying Astrophysics in Year 12, we learned that the Universe was created from pure energy and that it would probably end as a load of energy. So that made me think that maybe there have been other universes before that imploded as the 'end of the world' which then in turn created new universes. So it's possible that at the 'end' of this world, a new world will be created in its place, as the energy that will result has to go somewhere! (energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is merely converted).\nOf course we'll probably never know for sure....! ;-)

Yes.\n\nThere is so much of this universe that we do not know.

I think there's a lot to be said for the ideas - in books like Dallas Willard's "Divine Conspiracy" and NT Wright's new one "Simply Christian" that we will have a job to do in the afterlife.\n\nIn other words, I think we will be, in some sense, responsible for the new creation. I'm thinking, in terms of Bible references, of places where Jesus tells the parable of the talents, or where Paul talks about people getting in "as through fire." \n\nNT Wright is very interesting to read in this regard. He points out that many of the references to the afterlife hint at us being brought back to a renewed earth, with the New Jerusalem almost being lowered down to this earth - this renewed creation. It sounds weird to you, I am sure, if you are used to thinking of the afterlife as our soul going up to Heaven. But if you read the Bible with this new way of looking at it, so much makes sense.\n\nSo, I think that, based on what we do here, how long we are Christians and what we do with that time we are given, we will have more or less responsibility for God's creation after death. Remember, Jesus' woe sayings - he hinted that it works that way in Hell, as well. He basically hints that there are layers, or degrees of both punishment and reward. That's how I see it.

if only someone really knew, I think the universe never ends.  I would really hope that we would find new planets outside our own solar system and we would really find other planets like Earth.  I still have time to pay attention and hope they continue to explorer.
