I was just looking at your great pics Robbie and an old thought acured to me. In Rev 21 it says
[sup]1[/sup] 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.
When I first started studying the bible I came across that verse and was troubled or didn't understand it. I got to searching and discovered that sea is also a word that can mean separation or division. I was very glad to learn that since I love the water as well. I might add that I wondered half way across the US to find myself in Greg Laurie's little church in 79, thats where the Lord lead me to expand my eduction in the word. Just thought I'd share that with you, God richly Bless you Robbie.
Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise)
Verses 1-8 The new heaven and the new earth will not be separate from each other; the earth of the saints, their glorified, bodies, will be heavenly. The old world, with all its troubles and tumults, will have passed away. There will be no sea; this aptly represents freedom from conflicting passions, temptations, troubles, changes, and alarms; from whatever can divide or interrupt the communion of saints.
