In Creation, God first created three "realms" (light, water [above and below] and earth). The next three days He created the rulers over each of those realms. He them created man to rule them (as his representative). Man had a different relationship with those animals which he had some form of fellowship (the beasts, the cattle and the birds). In heaven, will this purpose of man still exist in the form of animals? Also consider this verse and when it came into play? Ephesians 2:2 (KJV) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: In the Garden of Eden, Satan either indwelled and / or took the form of an animal serpent. Eve didn't run off screaming, "oh no, a talking serpent". Evidently and in my opinion, Adam & Eve must have had the ability to communicate with animals and nature, unlike today [speculation]. I highly suspect man nor animal ate flesh before the fall, man was at peace with God and nature before the fall. In the millennium, it appears the earth and its creatures will be restored to much like creation was intended. I believe the Lord provided animals for our pleasure, enjoyment, some work help and later on food. I believe man and creature in the beginning were vegetarians, eating vegetables, grains and especially fruits. Our eternal home is going to be our refurbished earth, Heaven will come down to earth, after it is melted and cleaned with a fervent heat. I believe the New Jerusalem will be our new home and mansion. The Lord is going to restore the earth to pre fall conditions and possibly much better than that. The way the earth and people were intended to live in before sin entered the world. So personally, I suspect the new earth will be populated with all the original kinds of animals He created in the beginning, including the now extinct ones. That's all pure speculation and opinion on my part though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all eternity to do stuff, you might want to do things that require hands (e.g. playing the piano. I, however greatly admire your typing skills that allow you to post at this site. I bought these removable gloves that have fingers - seem to work great. In heaven, I think my flappers will be so awesome they can do all the things without fingers.

Will we be like a certain age look & not grow old? If so, what about babies, that have been saved? Babies did not have a chance to know who they are, will they recognise themselves? We will have new bodies, but reproductive organs are unnecessary? Do we eat, drink & sleep, as we will be eternal, so not die? I love music, will there be any, along with sport? What about relationships, will we all be platonic with each other? What about animals, will they all be tame, & like what's already here? Will we have memories this life, if so, they contained many sins? I could go on, but will hand over to you folks! (You probably think I'm a bit mad, but God made me this way, so deal with it) Most of these questions will have to wait until we get to heaven. It would only be speculation. Yes, reproductive organs will not be necessary. I would think all the animals will be tame. It is heaven. We will know those who are in heaven that were family. I would think we will not have much of a memory of our lives on earth. Edited February 13, 2020 by missmuffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah 65:17 "See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind." 2 Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells." There will be no great ocean, that covers 75% of the earth. Not there won't be really great lakes. God did create whales after all. Revelation 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. (Rev 21:1 NKJ) So we will live forever on a "new" earth. Right now, GOD is in Heaven. Someday - once all sin is cleansed from the earth - GOD and the Lamb will be in the New Jerusalem, after that City descends to be on the earth. Revelation 21:22 "But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple." We will go for some period of time - to Heaven. John saw those who had gotten the victory over the Beast power, standing on the Crystal Sea. That "sea" is before the throne of GOD in Heaven. Revelation 15:2 "And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God." After that, we will come back to the earth. As to what we will look like, when Jesus appeared to John in Revelation, His hair was white (Revelation 1:14). He didn't have white hair when He died. So - I don't know what we will look like. I do know we will "be known". As for the animals, yes - they will be tame. They will be as they were in the first creation, with no fear of human beings. They will respond to human beings like loyal faithful dogs respond to their loving masters now. But better. Isaiah 11:9 "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." And no "thorns" or "thistles" either. That was part of "the curse" on the ground (Genesis 3:18). The wildness of the animals began after the flood of Noah. (Gen 9:2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good case and point about pseudepigrapha- the inspired Word of God says 1 Cor 2:9 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. KJV Evidently it did enter into the heart of Baruch … God must have made a mistake and it has entered into the hearts of some. It is the Scripture that we live by all else must be weighed in the balance of … God doesn't error in what He says! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
