Hi Dennis, even though I hate that saying...

It seems to be true.

I'm just wondering....of all those that died from when Adam was created to the future deaths until the age ends, where are we all going to fit on this planet? Those are huge numbers Kat showed us....
Do the verses below talk about a spiritual desert (mankind without a knowledge of God) or a physical place when we will be resurrected and everything brought back as it were before sin entered the world?

Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Isa35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
Isa 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

Just wondering,
Jingle

Kat:

Hi Jingle, maybe those verse has a spiritual and physical meaning. What is for certain is that God knows exactly the number of people that will be living on this earth when He resurrects them and He has a perfectly thought out plan. We do not know what all He may bring about at His return, it does say there will be a "new earth" (2Peter 3:13; Rev 21:1). What will be 'new'? I guess whatever God wants there to be to fit the needs.

If you have ever looked at Goggle earth and scanned over the surface of the planet you would see there is a great amount of unused lands... the deserts are a good example.

Rev 22:3  And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

What could this be speaking of "no more curse"? Well right from Adam the ground was cursed.

Gen 3:17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.

Perhaps when that curse is removed the earth will produce a great abundance of food. We also know that feeding the multitudes is not a problem for God, as when Jesus supernaturally fed 5000 on very little. Also He can produce food literally from nothing as when He fed manna to all the Israelite tribes, estimated to be 2 million.

I just don't see a problem, God knows the end from the beginning, and the next age will be a time of His glorious reign.

Rev 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.
v. 2  Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
v. 3  And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
v. 4  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

mercy, peace and love
Kat

Thanks Kat, we are all really and truly looking forward to this new earth with Jesus as ruler and king!
I sometimes wonder what it will be like though, will we live under the stars in tents as the ancients did? Will we go back to the times of Adam and Eve with the innocence they had before they ate the fruit? I think about this often and was just wondering if anybody else has these thoughts (however silly they may seem)  ;)

I want to thank all of my  family for so many responses to my topic: Information between Ray and I, the Tuskegee experience! I even learned many things from history I didn't know my self. Also I want apologized to Dennis for putting that subject in the wrong place. I will do better next time! O, how I love all of you and I so miss being in the mist of you. One last question! Is there a bible in print that has the scriptures that fit closes to the original Hebrew than those we are most accustom to. Also, please continue to pray for Ruby and I as we are yet enduring some health problems. I am about a month on this side from having hip surgery.  The doctor's says it comes from going up and down so many box cars over the years. Love and prayers! Timothy
