       The Bible says that the New Jerusalem will come down out of Heaven and perhaps float above the earth or something like that. It is in this new world where we will live for eternity. The Prophet Isaiah talked about this, when he recorded the Lord as saying, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy, and her people to be a gladness” (Isaiah 65:17, 18, ESV). The ultimate goal right now in the Christian’s mind is to be waiting, to be looking forward to this new heaven and new earth. That’s what the Apostle Peter has told us, when he said, “But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13, ESV). Again, this goes back to us longing to reside in a sin-free environment, one in which sin has been eliminated from the picture.
