If no one needs to die in the new heaven and new “earth”, will the earth’s carrying capacity be overloaded?
“And God blessed them [Adam and Eve]. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”” – Genesis 1:28
“through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ” – Revelation 22:10

May I give you a math problem to solve? Please calculate: If all people no need to die, how long the earth shall over exceed it’s capacity limitation of human?
Let’s make it simple if (2+2) for first generation, (4+4) for second generation, (8+8) for third generation…. How long? One thousand years? Ten thousand years?
If people can live forever no need to die, how can be the earth holding those many people? Have you ever asked this question? Do you think God knows this answer when He created the Tree of Life and expected human live forever? If He knows the answer, does He has solution and well prepared to solve this problem? Do you trust our God in Faith?
Maybe the answer is in Genesis 15:5 “And he brought him (Abraham) outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.””
Do you understand God’s meaning? Jehovah God just simply said: you look up at the sky, see if you can count the stars, so shall your offspring be. Abraham couldn’t fully understand God’s word, he only knew that his offspring would be as many as heavenly stars. Actually, God’s deeper meaning was this: look at the stars, your offspring will be – there, living on there. The star-filled heaven you see today, shall be your offspring-filled heaven in the days to come.
YHWH God Almighty will fulfill His will. Mankind will be blessed through Abraham’s “offspring“, they will multiply and fill the entire universe in the long long future. So will the humanity be exceed of the earth carrying capacity? Yes, but this is not a problem, for God has a solution already well prepared.
God’s will is all nations be blessed through Abraham. They will live into the stars(sky) in the future, God’s word will be done and fulfilled. In the distant future, when Abraham looks up at the heaven, he will see countless stars, and actually those stars are really meaning his offspring(shall your offspring be). You can imagine how deeply touched he when he recalls God’s word in his mind, it will be completely exceeded his expectations.
Maybe someone would say, “It’s impossible and unbelievable!”. Or maybe they would say, “We can’t live on the other planets, for those planets are with difficult harsh environment, not suitable to human live there.”
Yes, all planets other than our earth are harsh and not suitable for human. But at the beginning, wasn’t our Earth like those planets’ environment? Who changed it into this beautiful earth? Yes, our Heavenly Father and Jesus. So do you have faith in them that they could do it again in those planets, just as what they have done in our earth? Yes, Amen.
I think Abraham must be deeply moved in the long long future, amazed and overwhelmed by the mighty power of Jehovah God, what the almighty God He is. So can human count Abraham’s offspring? They can’t. Why? Because his offspring and the stars in this universe are uncountable. At that time all families shall be blessed through the “offspring”, Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 49:20
‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
Isaiah 54:2,3
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your stakes.
3 For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
and your offspring will possess the nations
and will people the desolate cities.
Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
Isaiah 46:10 says
“declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’.
May we all praise and thank Almighty God, all Praise and Authority to Heavenly Father. Amen. All families will be blessed, our family all our nations will be blessed through Abraham’s offspring, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
