Summary

What does Revelation mean when it says there will be “no longer any sea”? Does this mean no beaches in heaven? No oceans? In today’s episode of Ask Dr. E, Dr. Michael Easley explains the biblical symbolism of the sea, the continuity between this earth and the New Heaven and New Earth, and why the glory of Christ will overshadow every earthly landscape we imagine.
