Will heaven be crowded with billions of people?

Heaven will not be crowded, even though billions upon billions of people will be there. The new earth is described as so huge that Jupiter would look like a playground marble, and with no ocean, every bit of it will be habitable, providing abundant room. Members of the Body of Christ will rule and reign across the heavens.

Les explains that although Christianity may seem a rather small number, eternity will include billions and billions of people. He points to infants who die in the age of absolute innocency as God's harvest, and then raises the abortion picture: if aborted little ones are God's harvest, that is another vast multitude brought into God's eternal state. Yet he says not to think it will be crowded, because the new earth is so huge that Jupiter would look like a playground marble. If there is no ocean, every bit of it will be habitable, giving so much room. He adds that members of the Body of Christ will rule and reign across the heavens.
