I mean it can't accept people forever, so what will happen? I think they will start filling up hell, then God will stop making people die and the world will overpopulate.

Does it have a maximum occupancy? Where does it explain that in the bible?

Ok starting in Revelations 21:9 it talks about the description of heaven. It gives measurements. I went to a bible study where the teacher had worked out how big that was and it came out that if there were 20 billion people in heaven (more people than have ever lived on earth, and not all will be saved), and if heaven were divided equally among them, then each person would have 75 acres. So there should be plenty of room. I don't need that much.

Heaven is beyond comprehension. If God created the vast universe and all that is in it, wouldn't it make sense that He would make Heaven big enough and vast enough to contain every one of His creation? He is GOD after all, and the Bible doesn't need to state something unless we won't understand without an explanation. Because we are talking about God here, it is understood that Heaven is so vast and great a place, that we don't need to worry about where we will all be. The Bible does say that Jesus said that where He was going will have many mansions, and many rooms. He said "I go to prepare a place for you". If there are enough mansions and enough rooms for all those who follow Christ, then it would logically follow that Heaven can contain us all.

Well a God who gives u mealing at the average rate of 70 years and there are hundreds of people not only people God is giving food to animals and plants..... and still He is not out of stock then consider how much he would have to give in heaven
Once some followers of Muhammad were sitting each other then all of sudden they all heared a noise they asked to Muhammad what was that and Muhammad replied when i was born to this earth God throw a huge stone to the HELL and now that stone touched the floor of hell.
In the time Holy Muhammad was at the age of 42 years.
So u can guess the depth of hell. and once other story of HOLY SOLOMON.
He asked to God .. Ohh God u have given me soo much authority and power in earth and i rule to all the earth. Air is under my premission and ghosts and other things... So i want to invite all of your creation for a mealing. God replied you cant do it just ur permission is required.
Then SOLOMON ordered to all ghosts and humans to prepare huge mealing about weeks they spent to cook the mealing . and when it was served then all of sudden only a single fish came through water and ate all the food.
Then he replied really God you are creator of us and u can do what ever u want .
So these inccidents can prove the power of God. So the people who ask these kind of question .... i think they do joking with God and one must not challenge the GOD because for him. HE says and it happened.
one little thing to notice.... can u tell me exact that how much breath you breathed untill now or how far you can see....... So it would be not really so much difficult for God to caring all of us in HELL or Heaven.
one example for a SEA . i forgot the name and no one could tell its depth so that thing exists infront of us so we can imagine what about HEAVEN...
Hope that will answered the question

God has everything under control so i don't let my simple mind worry about Heaven ever getting too filled up with people. If Hell is a bottomless Pitt then i don't see a problem there either.

I fear you have the wrong question. If one is banished to hell for eternity and given a finite number of souls in the universe, then eventually everyone will end up in hell.

I don't think we have to worry about that. I think what is important is knowing how to gain entrance to heaven. It is by repenting of our sins, and accepting Jesus as savior. God will work everything out.

They build a new subdivision. But watch out--late comers get McMansions with crappy soundproofing and leaky plumbing.
