Creation Restored

Cultural ideas about heaven feature fluffy clouds, angels playing harps, and an ethereal, unearthly atmosphere. However, the Bible presents the New Heavens and Earth as the culmination of the Bible's grand narrative of creation, Fall, and restoration. When we grasp the place of the New Heavens and Earth in this redemptive plan, and understand what Scripture teaches about the nature of our eternal home, it helps us to better anticipate and look forward to it. And it should surprise no one that the key to understanding the Bible's last chapters lies in its first.
