Thus, the new heaven and the new earth will be based on a completely different life principle than the present universe. But believers’ glorified bodies will not require water, unlike present human bodies, whose blood is 90 percent water, and whose flesh is 65 percent water. All life on earth is dependent on water for its survival. The sea is emblematic of the present water-based environment. John Walvoord, for example, commented, “Most of the earth is now covered with water, but the new earth apparently will have no bodies of water except for the river mentioned in 22:2.” John MacArthur goes further, interpreting the absence of “the sea” as implying the absence of all physical water (H 2O) anywhere, in any form, on the new earth: So it is not surprising that Revelation 21:1 has been understood as announcing that a large body of physical water, or all large bodies of physical water, or even physical water itself will not be present in the new earth. For example, God is to be worshiped because he created “heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water” (14:7 see also 5:13 7:1-3 10:2-8 12:12). That is understandable, since in Revelation, even amid its symbolic visions, “sea” should sometimes be understood “literally”-that is, physically. My friend’s dismay assumes that the “sea” that will be “no more” in the new heaven and new earth is a vast body of physical water (all the oceans that blanket our present earth).
