[Olympiad Fisherman]

Keep in mind that the Millennial Kingdom will be populated with animals (for example - Isaiah 11:1-10), and I suspect the same will be true in the new heavens and the new earth as well (Revelation 21-22)since they are trees and water mentioned. I think Christians also need to be wary of a Greek view of heaven that places us on floating clouds in the sky playing our harpsicords forever. Heaven will be a very robust busy place, full of nations, commerce, trade, and I believe animals too.

I understand, and agree with your analysis of the text. All that I was trying to say was that no matter what we do, WE are not saving the Earth by any of the environmental measures that people try to force on us. There is no SAVING the Earth, it will ultimately be destroyed and rebuilt by God. We should live as God wants us to, not wantonly destroying or polluting the Earth, but neither should we be sacrificing human lives and futures to some environmental Gaia type belief.
