Yea, this is what happens when you change a word or two...It leads to different conclusions...

Our spirit is as a type of heaven, and so is the mind of Christ, which is also spirit. The firmament was called heaven.

The word beginning in Genesis 1 also means "firstfruits" and we know that those that are His are firstfruits unto Christ. Therefore, that scripture could also be interpreted, "In the firstfruits, G-d created the heavens (mind of Christ) and the earth (glorified body). Just throwing this out there for whomsoever will.....Peace

i've seen the beginning of Genesis related to a person's walk...pretty cool!

hmm, you get a different conclusion by changing "void" to "astonishingly empty?"

1. New heavens and a new earth
2. No more weeping and crying
3. People will live past age 100, or they will be considered cursed
4. Build their own houses, and eat from their own vineyards
5. Lifetime of God's people like the lifetime of a tree
6. Wolf and lamb will graze together
7. The serpent will do no harm

Questions:

Are these literal statement?

When exactly will this occur?

1,2,6 & 7 are literal statements. I don know where the others come from.

Thew will occur at the end of the age, when God destorys the current heavens and earth and creates the new ones.

How about a reliable source for that statement.

Good translations don't say "became" they say "was."

well, you say "good," but how can you know? many say the KJV is "good," but that is where we get Easter, too! "Became" is also correct enough, and admits that God does not create disorder, which "was" makes true. Personally, i don't know.

That's awesome. Really happy for you. So many never see that. The word is alive, speaking directly to you in so many ways and it's all about Him and our walk. Peace

God is telling people of the potential of what He can do if people would believe and be one with the true God , or you could burn sacrifices in the high places which means believe in strange man made god which have no purpose with the true God
