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 the earth or was located inside the moon.

Current Family leader Karen Zerby has reiterated these beliefs, and claims that both of Berg's theories on the Heavenly City's location 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! — Karen Zerby, World Currents No.84 (ML 3086)

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

Artist's conceptions of the spaceship, which Berg claims contains the heavenly city, depict it 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.

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.
