Heaven and Earth Will Be United

NT Wright:

"As Christopher Rowland has insisted, the end of Revelation offers an ultimate rejection of a detached, other-worldly spirituality in favour of an integrated vision of new creation in which 'heaven' and 'earth', the twin halves of created reality, are at last united. Always intended for one another, they are by this means to be remade, and to become the place where the living god will dwell among his people forever."

(p. 470, The Resurrection of the Son of God)
