Randy spoke to students at Sattler College in Boston. Drawing from Scripture, he paints a picture of the New Heavens and New Earth. Randy explains that the present Heaven is temporary, pointing to the ultimate reality of resurrected life on a renewed earth. He challenges common assumptions about Heaven and shows how the future Heaven is far more physical, joyful, and culture-rich than many believers imagine.
Present Heaven and the New Earth

In this clip from a conversation with Jay Rudolph on The Plumb Line Radio Show, Randy addresses the parable of Lazarus going to Abraham’s bosom, the place called Paradise. Randy points out that God is not depicted there, but His people are. God’s people could not be in His presence because the Resurrection had not happened yet. God is going to bring the Present Heaven to the New Earth and relocate His people to the New Earth.
