What will paradise look like

And if you ask about their food, then it is fruits from whatever they will choose, and the meat of whatever birds they desire. And if you ask about their drinking cups, then they are crystal-clear and made of gold and silver. And if you ask about its shade, then a fast rider would ride in the shade of one of its trees for a hundred years and not escape it.


Whitaker does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment. This is the second in a two-part series on heaven and hell by Bible scholar Robyn Whitaker. You can read her piece on hell here. She had a point.


Mark Twain might have agreed with her assessment. Most of us have some concept of heaven, even if it is one formed by movies like What Dreams May Come, The Lovely Bones, or think it involves meeting Morgan Freeman in a white room. And while not as complicated as biblical ideas about hell , the biblical concept of heaven is not particularly simple either.


As New Testament scholar Paula Gooder writes :. Yet heaven and paradise were originally more about where God lived, not about us or our ultimate destination. The Covenant may have not been made for a megalomanic with trillions of dollars but it has the the ability to travel in deep space and must be capable of considering the planets general habitat before "Choosing" it.


We have discussed at length the coincidence of the Covenant choosing the one planet David the "Synthetic" is on, there are several ways of making the coincidence but for a crew to turn up to Ayers Rock rather than Fiordland makes no sense! MJ - Totally, and I value yours and all others' replies and feedback! What I love about this site is that everyone seems to be trying, in their own way, to visualise what AC is going to be like.


So some posters seem to focus on the 'factual' side of things, drawing together bits and pieces from scripts, images from sets, insider info. And yes, to my mind I would think that any colony ship would be travelling to a planet they knew something about, hence why they chose it for such purposes. I'm pretty sure that we can gauge a planet's chemical composition and atmospheric conditions through the tech we have available now e. Kepler b! Like you say, travelling half way across the galaxy to just rock up to to a random planet makes no sense whatsoever.


It's not a mining ship, after all. Fiordlands a great shout but I kind of want a more jungle landscape; only because having spent a little time in a jungle and not particularly a squeamish type the sheer size and 'wildness' of the life in there can be pretty scary right here on Earth! I'm imagining a jungle that has been tainted with black goo.


Maybe some eggs lay dormant, or perhaps David will unleash more disaster when he contacts his test subjects, er I mean, the crew ;. Indeed we dont know what te whole surface of a World would look like, it may not all be Jungle.. There could be entrances to those Mountains and Caves and maybe the Engineers have underground settlements?


There are also set designers who mainly designed grand buildings and temples and ancient looking architecture. Also i cant remember where or by who.. As far as sets that was never created. I would not be surprised if we see something a bit like these BigDave , exactly my thoughts.


My speculation from over 3 years ago still stands, especially considering their shooting locations and pictures of a shoot in Sydney The surface is "paradise", ie, lush, beautiful, a place you would want to colonize, but underneath, or as you get closer to where the Engineers lived or maybe practiced their experiments on this paradise, you see a more twisted place like the pictures I put up of the rock formations on Mount Roraima above, especially considering this particular picture taken while they were shooting in Sydney on May 19 of this year.


Maybe if there was some sort of black liquid blast-wave, it could have rode-up over some of the highest point mountain tops and, as a result, it may have protected some of these little inlets, fjords of greenery and bays that allowed vegetation to still continue as the death wave if indeed, that's what was the cause of the catastrophe there rode-up over them and dissipated in the atmosphere We'll soon find out!


What if the Dav on the Cov. The crew is only allowed at first to see the good parts of the planet. I have a feeling that the area they colonize is the only area that will be "paradise" and the rest is blasted barren.


Maybe Prom Dav will pull them into the barren areas with some form of beacon or lure. One of the members gets a little bored and goes exploring This was taken in the bush whilst tramping "the circuit" next to Lake Manapouri and is typical of the dense New Zealand bush.


I could easily see them coming across Engineer ruins which appear as if seemingly from nowhere. You have to believe the scene of destruction in the Quarry represents a terrible and awe filled consequence of such power. Crystal McVea died for nine minutes on Dec. Rather, it was heaven, the Post reported. I remember being in the bed. My mother was at my feet, and I remember starting to drift off — and I remember opening my eyes and telling her that I loved her," McVea said, according to the Christian Post.


Don Piper died in a head-on car collision. Before reawakening, though, he said he was transported to heaven, which had many of his family members and other people he knew, according to Fox News. He also saw a gate — the gate of heaven. And at the pinnacle of a great hill beyond them is a bright light. I have the distinct feeling that that is where God — and I was headed in that direction when suddenly I was returned to Earth.


This is a common belief — that heaven is a cloudy, bright and angel-filled world. Well, a Harvard neurosurgeon agrees with this idea. According to The Huffington Post , Dr. Even Alexander saw heaven after he fell into a coma in During his time there, he saw big puffy clouds, came into contact with an angel and heard beautiful sounds, Huff Post reported.


Heaven has also been shown in the movies on a variety of occasions.
