"There is really nothing complicated about the new heavens and the new earth. To aid our understanding of this beautiful truth let us learn a lesson from the symbolisms of the book of Revelation. The key to this understanding is the word “sea.” As soon as John sees the new heaven and the new earth he immediately notes that “there was no more sea.” Again and again throughout the book of Revelation we have shown that the word “sea” is not used in the literal sense of the vast oceans of earth, but in a figurative and symbolic way. The vast majority of the events in the Revelation take place in one of three dimensions: HEAVEN, EARTH, and SEA. These three realms, of course, represent three dimensions of life within each of us, three states of being, life-styles, levels of consciousness, spheres of existence, and realms of experience. There is a “heaven” realm within our spirit, an “earth” realm within our soul, and a “sea” realm within our body. The highest of these realms is heaven — where God dwells in our spirit. Earth is the in-between realm, a dimension that at its highest touches heaven, and at its lowest kisses the sea. That is the soul which lies between the spirit and the body. It can yield to the spirit above to become heavenly, or to the sea (body realm, flesh nature) to become sensual and devilish."
"The lowest of these three realms is the sea. Throughout the scriptures the sea is a type of the inner storms and turbulent nature of the Adamic man. The prophet Isaiah penned these inspired words: “The wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked” (Isa. 57:20-21). Jude also described wicked men when he said, “These are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame” (Jude 13). No one can dispute the fact that it is this restless, turbulent, raging, evil heart of the fleshly man, with the passions and lusts and the motions of sin that lurk in the body with its lower nature, that inspires every evil and devilish perversion, and has filled the world with ever increasing confusion, faithlessness, immorality, falsehood, fraud, hatred, violence, greed, cruelty, strife, wars, bloodshed, and every wicked work. It is more than a raging sea of evil — it is a virtual tsunami of self-destruction!"
Much more in the link:
"Now, when John says, “…and there was no more sea,” that does not suggest to me that the vast oceans of earth have dried up. That tells me that there is no more realm for a dragon to rise out of; Leviathan, that serpent in the sea, has been destroyed. There are no more men in whom the dragon nature agitates, tosses, overthrows, and torments them like the troubled sea. That tells me that all men have been reconciled to God, the nature has been transformed, and the peace and righteousness and love of God reigns in every heart. It is already true within the elect of the Lord! Ah, there is a place — a place in God’s new heaven and in God’s new earth, in the triumph of Christ raised up in our land, where the anguish represented by the sea exists for us no more! When all men, and all things, and all realms have been restored into Christ again it shall truly be said, “AND THERE WAS NO MORE SEA!”
"In the kingdom it is no longer God ruling over you by His sovereignty from without, but the life, mind, heart, nature, power, wisdom, knowledge, and will of God entering into you, becoming your very own reality."
"God does not intend to graft the system of His kingdom upon the fleshly ways of man, nor upon the tired old methods of religious Babylon, nor to make the new Adam to grow out of the old Adam, nor to evolve the new heaven and the new earth out of the old heaven and earth, but He intends to teach us this: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Cor. 5:17). “And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new” (Rev. 21:5)."
