When I learned that the Bible speaks of a restored Garden of Eden and the restoration of mankind to the perfection and endless life that Adam forfeited, I was thrilled. Who doesn't want to keep living on this beautiful earth, with our loved ones, and being able to do all the things we love to do---endlessly?
If God said to you today, "When do you want to die?" would you say "now!!"? I don't think very many people would say that.
We CAN live forever here on Earth. The Bible tells us that we can.
Matthew 5:5
Psalm 37:9-11,29
Paradise on Earth

What does the prefix "re" mean?
If you don't know, look it up.

The time for paradise is close. The signs that Jesus said would occur just before the Great Tribulation are all evident. (Matthew 24:7-15)
"When you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors." (Matthew 24:33)

What you're best guess as to what it means in the following word:
replenish (verb) -- restore to a former level or condition.

No where in all the bible is that claimed by anyone.
NT:3857 parádeisos [paradise]
EDNT define paradise as mentioned in Rev 2:7, for all the victor sayings have an eschatological thrust, and the fruit of the tree of life is a privilege of the last paradise (cf. Jerusalem in 22:1-2, Jerusalem being the center of the renewed earth).

In the book of Isaiah alone are many references to what the earth will be like after Jesus comes back and the earth is a Paradise again. (Isaiah 11:6-9; Isaiah 35:1-7; Isaiah 45:18; Isaiah 55:12,13; Isaiah 65:17, 21-25) There is also Ecclesiastes 1:4 and Matthew 5:5 and many more.TheHolyGhost wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 9:41 pmThe is going to be no such thing as a restored earth.onewithhim wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2016 12:25 am When I learned that the Bible speaks of a restored Garden of Eden and the restoration of mankind to the perfection and endless life that Adam forfeited, I was thrilled.

Re: Paradise on Earth
Post #3040You think that God will destroy the heavens and the earth? What would be the reason? There is nothing wrong with the heavens, and the earth can rejuvenate itself from all the pollution and destruction.
