Les Feldick Bible Study

Will heaven be crowded when all Christians are gathered?

No. The new Earth will be so huge that even a 1,500-mile city will not crowd it, and that city is described as merely the apartments. While Heaven might seem crowded, the new Earth will not be, because it is beyond imagination in size and beauty.

Les explains that the new Earth will be so huge that even a 1,500-mile city will not go beyond its curvature; on this present planet, the city would not rest properly and most of it would sit out like bird's wings. He says the city is just our apartments, so to speak, and there will even be food production. Many Bible believers think infants and little children under the age of accountability will be in glory as adults, and throughout human history vast numbers died in infancy. So when all Christians of the last several thousand years are brought together, Heaven might seem crowded, but the new Earth will not be.
