Randy Alcorn spoke with his son-in-law, Dan Franklin, about 2 Corinthians 5:1-5. They discuss the question of how physical the present Heaven is, and is it possible that there are transitional or intermediate bodies there?

Question from a reader: In your book Heaven you say that our bodies on the New Earth will be the same bodies that we have now, but they will be “upgraded” and “glorified”. But 2 Corinthians 5:1 talks about our earthly tents being destroyed. How does this harmonize with your thoughts about our eternal bodies?

Randy Alcorn talks about how our current bodies are a model for our resurrection bodies, just as this current earth is a starting point for understanding the New Earth. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
