In revelation 21:1.

Any idea? does it evaporate? Drain away or freeze? Or does the land cover it?

It may be that after God destroyed the earth with fire there was no more sea. It is not entirely clear whether the reference to there being no more sea is to the old earth or the new earth. To me, it appears to be saying that after the first earth was no more then there was no more sea. Immediately after that the New Jerusalem descended from the sky to the new earth. The new earth, being newly created would have a new sea in that there would be oceans.

Probably evaporated like steam due to the fervent heat that destroyed the earth.

From this point on there is no need for water for the days of flesh and blood are over. We are now in a indestructible spiritual body.

1 Cor. 15;44 It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.

I still would prefer that the new world has oceans. Mountains too. There will be a river flowing through New Jerusalem, living water enabling trees to grow on both sides with a different fruit each month. The leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations.

You make a good point about the water flowing from the Throne. Most versions use word ( like crystal ), is it the water we know or some other form? We may have to wait and see!

It appears to be actual water but in a most purified state.

would it all become fresh water?
Just wondering what happens with the fish..or dolphins. Unless it becomes a tropical lagoon i. e lake.
or maybe we will all be able to swim/fly in the new earth.
Jesus walked on water...perhaps it becomes solid?

The water would have to freeze to become solid. In that sense, anyone could walk on water.

im thinking if all the seas evaporate then the climate worldwide will be like a tropical greenhouse. ANd if so that would be kind of neat. Perhaps the salt and minerals will crystalise and all the former seas would be like crystal gardens.

Without the seas there would be no more rain. I lived in a tropical greenhouse in Florida for 25 years. More like a sauna.

it may get steamy or foggy
I dont mind having no rain and just have waterfalls and rivers instead.

Isaiah 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

Revelation 17:15 Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where
the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

The sea represents the the realm of the living dead; it is the nations/people who have
no knowledge of God. There will be no more sea in the new heavens and the new earth.

In revelation 21:1.

“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.


Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:7, 13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;

and there was no more sea.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it’s new creation not according to the old that is going to be the lake of fire for punishing the ungodly.

I think it could be connected to the beast coming out of the sea of glass before the throne that reappears in dofferent states until it’s gone

“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Later after the fire of atonement is cast into the earth we see this picture

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and then when God returns to earth there is no more sea

it may be referencing the separating waters between God and mankind the reason we can’t see him that is no more the sea of glass starts our pure as crystal , the beast roses from the sea and the atonement of fire is cast into the earth from heaven and it appears again mingled with fire the same sea of glass that was pure is now producing a place for those who didn’t receive the mark of the beast on earth and overcame appear standing on the sea of glass that was mingled with the fire of atonement t from the golden censor

I think the sea of glass is a reference to the first creation it began very good and then became wicked later God sent the atonement into the world and men could now be redeemed so they appear standing upon the sea of glass being redeemed before the lord from the earth that is on fire

in the end I believe thats the sea that is no more because it has become the lake of fire remember John was taken into heaven to see these things so the sea is most likely the one he references in heaven before the throne where the lake of fire ends up being

interesting that they are standing on the 'sea of glass'

I have been researching about rocks and gemstones and crystals. Rocks, igneuous, sedimentary and metamorphic are made up of minerals etc that have been superheated and then cooled to turn to rock or supersaturated solutions if they are crystals and the water has evaporated leaving crystal deposits.

They dont, as some scientists/geologists suggest take 'millions of years' to form. Thats just an evolutionist/Darwinist white lie explanation of how those rocks come about. It can happen very quickly when heat and pressure are involved...after all volcanoes can be formed in one day.

Sedimentary rocks are formed in floods...MASSIVE floods that also form fossils very quickly when huge amounts of water pressurise rocks and bury remains. Something like...Noahs flood.

this sea of glass would be like all the sea evaporating and leaving crystal deposits, like salt pans or sodalite (made out of sodium) and you can walk on it.

Glass is made of liquid sand....superheated. So I imagine the heat from the lake of fire and all the fountains of the deep erupting would turn the sea into glass....if there is enough silica and quartz in the sea
