And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. These verses are talking about God coming to live with man on Earth, not us going to heaven. It never ceases to amaze me how people ignore plain scriptures in order to maintain their preconceived notions.
Did you even watch the video before condemning it? I talk about the New Jerusalem just as you are quoting from Revelation. Please watch videos first before commenting on them.

@@johncimbala Yes, I did watch the video, and heard you talk about new Jerusalem and new earth, yet you still referred to it as "heaven", when it plainly isn't talking about heaven. That's even worse than being ignorant, that's knowing, but ignoring context. There's also a lot more to the story, God's plan of salvation is much better than people know, but if you can't get that we aren't going to "heaven", even though the very scriptures that you point out say it's earth that we will live on with God, then there's no way that you will ever listen to the full truth of the plan of God to save even nonbelievers. You're too steeped in your preconceived notions to even see what's right in front of you, even when it's blatant, even when you quote the very scriptures that contradict what your are saying, so you could never understand something that's a little more complicated and less "in your face". I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to get people to shake off what they've been taught and learn to examine what the Bible actually says and get their beliefs from the Bible instead of tradition. You're a professor, so I'd guess that you're not unintelligent, but even smart people can get stuck in preconceived notions and have a hard time breaking free from them. I hope, as a scholar, that you will consider that instead of arguing as a knee jerk response, as most people would.
@@justincase1919 Maybe you should try to explain your argument instead of attacking peoples' beliefs. I still don't see how anything I said in the video is unscriptural. It may be a matter of semantics. The New Jerusalem is our final home where we will dwell with God forever. It comes down from "heaven" - from God to a new earth. This New Jerusalem is what I call heaven - the final heaven. Perhaps you call it something else, but aren't we talking about the same thing?
@@johncimbala I did explain. What you said is unscriptural because you're calling it "heaven" when it is plainly earth. In the end, we are talking about the same thing, but only figuratively, and look at how hostile and defensive you're being. Calm down, Mr Professor. I do call it something else. I call it the new Earth, as the Bible calls it, and new Jerusalem, as the Bible calls it, which comes down out of heaven, so it can't be heaven itself. You're so defensive that you're still holding two contradictory beliefs at the same time. You say the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven to the new earth, but then call the new Jerusalem "heaven", and you don't see how contradictory that is ? How about calming down and start using the intellect that I'm sure you have. You're only proving my point about being so stuck in preconceived notions that you can't be reasoned with. And yes, I will "attack" false beliefs, although I'd hardly call what I've done "attacking".
@@justincase1919 So it is just semantics and we are on the same page for the most part. By the way, the Bible talks about three heavens (Paul refers to "the third heaven" in 2 Corinthians 12:2). I believe that the heaven from which the New Jerusalem comes down is that to which Paul was referring - the third heaven being the place where God dwells on his throne. The New Jerusalem comes from there, and then God and all believers dwell in the New Jerusalem forever with Jesus and without pain or tears or death. If that is not a definition of the final heaven, then I don't know what is. Let's agree to disagree on this matter and stop this back and forth which is getting us nowhere.
good work, John; thanks for the good encouragement from God's word! I Peter 1:13
I like how you provide the Chapters and verse's John. Keep up the good work in Jesus name. Amen brother. ❤

Thank you for sharing for giving scriptures than some man made images and pictures. To God be the glory.
