Well, lakes don't have waves and tides like the oceans do, at least no lakes I've ever been to have tides and waves. never heard of anyone surfing in a freshwater lake. So they'd have to be large enough for the moon to pull on them enough to generate those currents.. to really count for what I'd say "this is fulfilling to me"But you don't. It doesn't say there is no moon or sun, it says they are not needed in the city, the new Jerusalem , for Jesus is the light. There were no chapters and verses in the original---so this is actually describing the city. But there is a new moon and there is time in the new earth, the rest of the world.
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
We can't blot out that there will be no moonlight and stars and dark. You can't blot out large lakes, very large ones even. It just means there are no salt water just for certain fish to use. There really is no reason to think your preferences are null and void. A huge lake will be just as beautiful as a salt water ocean, but far more useful for we can drink from and all manor of fish will be able to utilize it.
-Besides---there are other worlds we also can go to and visit. And who knows what they will have. Do not limit God to be able fulfill your desires. Not to mention, the light and the sun will not be blistering---it will be gentle as the Garden of Eden was, no rain, but a gentle dew to water the earth. And there was evening there---
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
He was the light of the world then also. And He made evening and morning. So don't think you are doomed to some elses' paradise.
But unless we're all getting our own planets, going to be hard to accomodate everyone's likes and dislikes.... and that's a little on the nose being very close to Mormon theology.. so I'm not gonna go that route. Jehovah has the authority to choose what new earth has and does not have, not me..
