@fmfsaid To make up your own metaphors and seek to add them to or even augment literature like the Bible strikes me as profoundly narcissistic and pretentious.
If they were sonship’s “own” metaphors, there would at least be some minor credit for imagination.
@sonshipsaid @FMF Go find out for yourself. Use the search engine at www.ministrybooks.org and see if the hits on "city of water" gives you the answer you are inquisitive about.
So you are not willing to say whether "The City of Water" is a metaphor that you have coined or whether you have lifted it from someone else's writing?
That being dealt with now, to a more interesting point:
What is your vision of the ultimate climax of human history?
I talk about the Bible's prophetic vision of "New Jerusalem" .
What do you offer as a more realistic alternative as an atheist ?
No particular need to footnote your ideas with citations.
Just tell us what you think.

Sonship didn't invent the phrase "City of water."
What I asked FMF I would also ask you.
As a Unitarian then what is YOUR take on the climax of human history?
Give us your alternative expectation to my "City of water" - New Jerusalem of Revelation 21,22.
What do you see mankind coming to as a climax ?
And you don't need to wait for FMF. You can go first since you're a theist.

Your knowledge of prophetic climax of mankind does not guarantee that you will witness or participate in these events. There are people who you have condemned to eternal torment who are likely to see it before you. and you are likely to be facing the eternal torment
@sonshipsaid What is your expectation of the end of the ages as a climax to human life and existence ?
What is your expected grand finale of the world history ?
I don't have any "expectations" about notions that your imagination and religious zealotry happens to be dwelling on.
