In Randy’s conversation with Davey Blackburn from Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, they discuss what it will be like to live on the New Earth—finally free from the curse, in awe of God’s glory! Randy explains how looking forward to life on the New Earth shapes how we view this present life under the curse.

Jim Abernethy, a well-known diver and underwater photographer, works primarily with sharks. Years ago in the Bahamas, Jim encountered a large tiger shark he named Emma. 

The ESV Study Bible (which Randy recommends) says of Ezekiel 40-48: “Almost all interpreters agree that Ezekiel 40-48 is one of the most difficult passages in the entire Bible.”

We asked commenters on my Facebook page, “What excites you most about living on the New Earth?” Wow, the responses were so great. Here are a number of them, and I hope they encourage you to anticipate our eternal home.

I think the angels’ roles on the New Earth, where there is no danger, shift from protection to guidance. The fact that they have served us on Earth will make meeting them in Heaven particularly fascinating.

This is the Eternity 101 DVD class, which was filmed during Randy's Heaven course taught at Corban University in Spring of 2012. His goal in teaching this is to help you gain a better understanding and biblical perspective of our eternal dwelling place. Click the links below to view all 12 sessions.

Perhaps those who love children but never had any of their own on the old earth will have the privilege of helping raise children on the New Earth. We do know that what God has for us in eternity will be wonderful beyond comprehension!

Everything our bodies need will function perfectly, but there are likely to be several parts of our bodies which will no longer serve a purpose…tonsils, perhaps some other glands as well, may become irrelevant. 

That’s a fascinating question to ponder. Randy has said this about technology on the New Earth: “Some people expect the New Earth to be a return to Eden, with no technology or the accomplishments of civilization. But that doesn’t fit the biblical picture of the great city, the New Jerusalem.”
