Revelation 21:1 - "There Was No Longer Any Sea." from Randy Alcorn - EPM on Vimeo.

What does it mean that there will no longer be any sea? Randy Alcorn quotes Charles Spurgeon who asserts that this must have a spiritual meaning. The sea separates nations and to the ancients it was fearsome. It represented danger and death. So in the world to come there will be no division or danger like the sea represented. We shouldn't interpret it as "How sad - no more fun times at the beach." This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
