“Also there was no more sea” stops many in their tracks as they read Revelation 21:1. Does this actually mean there will be no oceans on the new earth? Dr. Mike Stallard breaks down this popular question and why it may symbolize something far more significant than water. See how the passage in Daniel 7, where the sea represents the turbulent nations of the world, and the recurring imagery throughout the book of Revelation connect and why “no more sea” may point to the end of rebellion against God, not the removal of this beloved part of His creation. Can passages like this align with a consistent, literal, grammatical hermeneutic that many of us hold to? We think so!
