Space City

The author of the Biblical Book of Revelation describes a city called New Jerusalem. David Berg believed and taught that this "Space City" (or Heaven) existed within a pyramid that measured 1500 miles long, wide and tall and was either travelling through space towards earth or was located inside the moon.

With his theory of the Heavenly City travelling towards earth, Berg explained that it is transported by a spaceship described as an enormous ball of crystal glass with a fan-shaped rudder, a large heart at its base for an anchor and other gyrating rings and geometric shapes.

Current Family leader Karen Zerby has reiterated both of Berg's theories on Heaven's location, and has stated she believes both are true simultaneously:

13 [...] You don't have to believe that NASA scientists got a glimpse of the Heavenly City [by photographing it with the Hubble Space Telescope], nor that it's located in the moon, if you don't want to--it's not one of our fundamental beliefs--but I believe it, because the Lord said it, and I have faith in that! — Zerby, World Currents No.84 (ML 3086, Sep. 1996)

Berg has also explained that Jesus, after his crucifiction and resurrection described in the Bible, created Space City as an improved version of Paradise. Berg used John 14:2 as Biblical support for this teaching.

Berg claimed to have visited the heavenly Space City during a "spirit trip", and described his vision in detail to Family artists to share with other group members.
