thank you for posting this; I think about this often. I wonder if the “sea” is people. Since the Bible references believers as a “remnant” that no more sea means no great number of people.

And I agree with your summation that a new heaven and a new earth is because Jesus Christ is at the helm, not Satan.

I believe the sea is a reference to people, in a sense; but like a “sea of confusion.” “No more sea” would mean no more confusion.

I believe the “remnant” generally referred to the remnant of Israel: the lost sheep that Jesus was sent to gather (Matt 15:24 and Matt 10:5-8.) That would be a good topic for a thread. I would love to hear other interpretations on that.

It does seems to be the only scripturally supported interpretation. But I am always willing to learn.

Philip
