Truths about the NHNE you may have forgot (or never known):

1. It will be a place without sin, a place of unending love.

1.1. There will never be any sin in the NHNE (no sin = no lawlessness [1 Jo 3:4]; a place of perfect lawfulness or equity [the purpose

of God’s Law]). Hence the reason there will no human death/curse (existence of human death/curse = existence of sin; Isa 65:25;

1Co 15:26 w/55-56; Rev 22:3).

1.2. What will keep us from sinning in the NHNE? The faithfulness in trusting God and practicing equity we secured in this life (Mat

22:36-40 = Trust God and practice equity [the summation of the Law and Prophets]) will translate into perfect equity and trust (or

obedience) once coupled w/perfect knowledge in the next.

(Rev 21:7 “overcomes”) = Secures faithfulness in trusting God and practicing equity (e.g., Gen 18:19 w/22:16 [Gen 22:1-3]) in

contrast to (8a “cowardly”) = Unwilling to practice equity; the selfish; (8b “unbelieving”) = Unwilling to trust.

(1Co 13:12 “know fully”) = Possess perfect wisdom (skill in discerning value [enhancing equity]) in relation to all things – including

the new things we discover/learn/experience in our travels to different planets, solar systems and galaxies.

1.3. This (then) is what also makes the Reboot a place of unending love (equity = Law = love). The NHNE will be a place filled

w/constant unending and unfailing love from everyone around us (no betrayal, lying, manipulation, heartbreak etc., ever again in

relation to anyone). Everyone will treat everyone with the same righteous care they expect for themselves (Mat 7:12; 2Pe 3:13

“NHNE where righteousness dwells”).

2. It will be a universe of superlative beauty.

2.1. That the Rebooted universe wb beautiful is confirmed by Jesus’ (Rev 2:7 [Rev 22:2] “Paradise of God” = Garden of beauty).

2.2. That the beauty of the NHNE wb superlative in relation to its predecessor is confirmed by Paul (2Co 4:17-18; Rom 8:18-23

[“creation” = Nonhuman parts of Creation -e.g., celestial bodies, plants, animals, etc.,]) = The glory or beauty of the NHNE is so much

greater that it makes our existing world not only a poor comparison but a painful choice (“the whole creation groans and

suffers…and we ourselves groan.”)

2.3. The word translated “corruption” (Grk., phthora) also carries the idea of inequity – or imbalance (e.g., 2Pe 1:4, 2:19) –which

means that what we can expect in relation to the superlative beauty of the NHNE is a universe where everything (including us) will

be created perfectly symmetrical, proportionate and ordered in relation to itself and its environment (i.e., it will suffer no imbalance

in form or function, it wb equitable). This (btw) the biblical definition of beauty (enhanced equity [achieved thru complexity and

diversity] 1 ).

2.4. The most likely reason John’s vision of the NHNE in Rev 21 and 22 is largely symbolic is due to the fact that he would not be able

to explain the beauty he observed had he seen its true form. It was beyond his imagination and cognitive abilities to understand.

This is most likely what Paul is getting at in (2Co 12:1-4 “not permitted to speak” = Not able to form meaningful words or thoughts to

explain what was observed).

2.5. This goes back to Paul’s statement about the NHNE being “far beyond all comparison” (2Co 4:17). Our existing world is the basis

for all cognitive ability or imagination. IOW: we cannot imagine things outside this created order. Yet once more- what is coming in

the Reboot is “far beyond” that -- which means whatever the NHNE looks like it is beyond the best (or coolest) our imaginations can

come up with (i.e., better than the coolest stuff we imagine –or watch in our sci-fi movies- e.g., think about the beauty of the

galaxies and planets presented in Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Trek or Star Wars films—it will make those universes look like some

2yr old drew it with a crayon).

1 Two additional thoughts (or tangents) in relation to beauty as enhanced equity: 1) creating beauty wb our primary function in the Reboot just as it was/is here - i.e.,

to further enhance the equity of existing things or raw materials provided by God in the new universe (in re: to this life – Gen 2:15 “cultivate” = “Enhance the equity

or life-giving abilities of those raw materials in the garden I have provided to you [and then expand that principle to the rest of the existing things on the planet]”). 2)

bc we are imagers of God (a Being Who lives for equity – Psa 138:2), we are drawn to equity (love) – especially its enhanced versions (beauty) – hence the reason also

we are duped be evil or sinful things if they are (at the same time) beautiful (manifesting in some aspect of their identity, enhanced levels of equity [e.g., the

symmetry of a beautiful woman’s physical form]).

3. It will be experienced as eternal pleasure.

3.1. Those who dwell in the same realm as God experience nothing but pleasure (Psa 16:11; this is what is inferred by Rev 21:1-3).

3.2. Pleasure is also the result of everything being equitable and beautiful – or existing w/o the other thing associated with that

word, “corruption” – the pain connected to deficiency, depravity, destruction, disease and death (Rev 21:4).

3.3. Eternal pleasure is likewise behind the word “paradise” (in the ANE, the term also meant, “pleasure park”).

3.4. Our modern history as human beings has proven this to be the most appealing part of the NHNE (e.g., those addicted to

pleasure producing drugs. The experience is so good they could care less about their location or state when using [emaciated and

laying in the gutter]. Hence the reason it is so hard to get addicts to kick it – pleasure trumps everything else).

4. We will exist as immortal and invincible human torches equipped with superhuman abilities and advanced tech who enjoy

travelling through infinite galaxies filled not only with every being that existed on this planet (including dinosaurs) and in the

third heaven (several different species of beings are presented in Scripture) but also those creatures specifically designed to

thrive in the different types of atmospheres and environments found on other planets where we serve as their discoverers,

enhancers, subduers and protectors.

4.1. Regarding our existence as immortal and invincible human torches with superhuman abilities (Gen 1:27 [w/Gen 5:1-3

“image/likeness” = Includes ontological makeup] w/Heb 12:29 [w/Deu 9:3 “consuming fire” = ontological makeup]; Rev 21:4-6

w/Rev 22:1-2; Gen 3:10 w/Rev 1:14-15 w/2:18 w/1Jo 3:2; Mat 22:30 w/Heb 1:7 [Psa 104:4] w/Rev 10:1 w/Rev 7:1-2, 14:6, 13 w/Mat

13:41-42 w/1Ch 21:16; Psa 103:20).

4.2. Regarding advanced tech (Eze 1:13-21 “workmanship” = Indicates advanced tech not other living beings; “the spirit of the living

beings was in the wheels” = The donut-shaped tech [drone ufo?] was paired to the living beings – i.e., under the control of their

minds/spirits).

4.3. Regarding our role as discoverers, enhancers, subduers and protectors of this new universe (Gen 1:26-28; Gen 2:15w/Psa 8:4-8

= Mankind was made to be the caretakers and cultivators of all life in God’s creation- from one end of the universe to the other).

4.4. Regarding the existence of all things that existed before and life on other planets: our God is a God of life, redundancy and

purpose. All three of those truths strongly infer the former.

5. We will be members of an elite club.

5.1. Unfortunately, most people (including those who entered into covenant relationship w/Christ) will not make it to the NHNE (Luk

13:22-24).

5.2. Why so many in covenant w/Christ will fail to reach the Reboot:

1) inconsistent and/or selective in their trust of God and/or equity toward others (i.e., they are selective in their obedience to the

Father’s will and laws of equity) (Mat 7:12 w/21-23).

2) being an idiot (bib. term, “fool”) (i.e., they make poor assessments [of self/others/gospel] and decisions [in re: to their

assets/time/energy] that strip them of the trust and equity necessary to make it to the Reboot). PNTM: wisdom is necessary to

salvation (Phi 1:9-11).

3) selfishness – prioritizing personal advancement/good over the advancement/good of the covenant community (God and His

people) (Phi 2:1-5) = Jesus (our example) sacrificed His personal advancement/good in this life for the advancement/good of the

covenant community –and as a result gained eternal advancement/good (6-11) = These verses also teach us that what Jesus requires

of us (death to personal advancement/good – Mat 16:24-27) is not inequitable since He Himself lived by these rules also. Hence the

reason He is worthy to be exalted and worshipped (He deserves it!) 2 .

5.3. Those present in the Reboot will only be those whose record reveals them to be part of an elite club: those who during their

earthly life and covenant relationship with Christ - daily died to self – and like their Savior, were characterized by trust, equity,

wisdom and the advancement/good of the team (cov comm) over self.
