No one can even imagine what GOD has in store for those who love HIM and are called according to HIS PURPOSE
God does not lie
trust in GOD who will make due on all HIS PROMISES
the lion will lay down with the lsmb
amd every sword be beaten into a plowshare
and they will never harm again in the land
snd GOD will wipe away every tear
Never to mourn or to suffer or to cry again

A completely new Genesis. New heaven and new earth .The present whole creation will vanish. God subjected the old to corruption it will vanish .
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.2Pe 3:12
Revelation 21:1 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.
No hunger, no sun for light or heat , no time keepers ,no seasons. A new incorruptible body which will be neither male not female .Not way to reproduce.Our memories of the former here on earth will vanish and never come to mind.
Revelation 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
I would offer, These represents more than one, which would of been ;This is.The same with the plural use of generation and heaven and again when using they again as both and repeats it with the plural of heaven..
I don't think it could be paraphrased

I have something that'll blow yer mind & make you rethink that.....
Revelation 21:16 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
The approx size of the New Jerusalem is between 1200 & 1500 MILES..... CUBED. I read somewhere that our current atmosphere is 9 miles high at its peak. Pleeeze tell me how that's gonna work, LOL!

Regarding as to whether the new heaven and new earth is "New" as a new creation (something from nothing) or whether it refers to this current heaven and earth being refurbished, we need to look at the context.
1). Since it is obvious that the new Jerusalem is not and cannot be a renovation of the current city of Jerusalem, but is something that is a new creation, i.e. never having existed. In this respect, the word "New" here in the verse would have to refer to a new creation, novel, unprecedented. Therefore, since the verse uses the same word "New" to also describe the new heaven and new earth, then I would submit that they must also be new creations, i.e. something from nothing, not have previously existed.
2). "Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away."
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old
order of things has passed away."
In the first scripture above, it is said that the first heaven and first earth had passed away (ἀπέρχομαι/aperchomai). Then we see how the same word is used in the second scripture which says, "death, mourning, crying, pain and the old order of things will have passed away. Since we know from the context that for those things mentioned to "Pass away" means that they will cease to exist, then we can also apply this same meaning to the heaven and earth passing away, as in, no longer existing.
3). "Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them." (φεύγω/pheugó - I flee, escape, shun)
In the scripture above, for this current heaven and earth to "Flee" from God's presence and that there will ne no place found for them, would seem to infer that they go away, depart. Therefore, the context would not infer the current heaven and earth as being a renovation in order to make up the new heaven and new earth.
Conclusion: Just as the new Jerusalem is a new creation, so also will the new heaven and new earth be new creations
