From the Lord's prayer "...on earth as it is in heaven." Perhaps heaven isn't in the clouds, but on a liberated earth? Real animals, forests, civilizations, and kingdoms, just like the movies show.
Avatar and recent sermons have revolutionized my view of life and the end times. From avatar, I see that God is writing an epic through the story of the world. Most epic stories in modern media include Christ figures and a people groups struggling for survival. In the real world, we are Gods people and are struggling against real epic forces. In the end times, real physical battles will occur - Agamemnon.
Revelations 20:7-9 "...Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth...and gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them."
A Real epic battle will take place at the end of time and it will be awesome! But better yet, the Lord's prayer calls for heaven on earth. Perhaps heaven isn't in the clouds, but on a liberated earth? Then the epilogues of movies like avatar, with such a wonderful picture of happiness will come true. We will run on the earth and not grow weary, re will be whole again, utopia! Maranatha! ['come, lord Jesus' nearly the last word in the bible]
