Though Alcorn cites the latter chapters of Isaiah to prove the final state of heaven over fifty times, he avoids this verse, except for one parenthetical dismissal of it (323). The problem is that Isaiah’s description of the New Earth still includes death: “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed” (Is. If he’s wrong about those passages, then the book could only be about twenty pages long. Alcorn begins by assuming that the New Jerusalem of Revelation and the New Heavens/New Earth of Isaiah describe the final state of heaven and then deduces virtually everything about heaven from those axioms. Have to say this book was largely a 476-page exercise in begging-the-question. ![]()
