The picture of a dwelling...

The picture of a dwelling place not sustained by human or celestial luminescence, not dependent upon human-made edifices for worship, and not differentiating between day and night is an intriguing notion of what the new Jerusalem will be. In the aquatic world of the deep sea, where light cannot penetrate, many bioluminescent life forms blissfully exist. Some of these are: sea anemones, sponges, coral shrimps, prawns, squids, various bacteria, the bathysphere fish, and others.
In these regions where only select species can exist, no external bodies govern them and no outside sources illumine them. They are totally equipped and provided for by the God-given light. Their body lanterns provide several services. They are mating signals, lures to potential prey, and warning devices when danger approaches. Thus, the light supplies their companionship, their sustenance, and their safety -- a truly heavenly sphere!
It is particularly interesting that as scientists speculate concerning the continued development and future habitat of our human race, the following evolutionary chart is often posited. From the squat Australophithecus emerged Homo erectus; then Homo sapiens (Neanderthal); and now the modern form, Homo sapiens sapiens; but in 500,000 years, there will be Homo futurus. Francisco Figueroa of the University of Manila and other predictors suggested that in response to overpopulation, this future human could be Homo aquaticus who would adapt as underwater beings and farm the ocean's floors.
