As foretold by High further into chapter 51 Gylfaginning, Once Heimdallr and Loki fight (and mutually kill one another), Surtr "will fling fire over the earth burn the whole world". High quotes ten stanzas from Völuspá in support, and then proceeds to describe the rebirth and new fertility of the reborn world, and the survivors of Ragnarök, including various gods and the two humans named Líf and Lífthrasir that will have hid from "Surtr's fire" in the wood Hoddmímis holt.
Gimlé was a place that would survive the end of the world and would be the dwelling place of blessed souls; of all the halls in heaven Gimle would be the best place to be.
The 'Prose Edda' says that Gimle shall stand when both heaven and Earth have passed away, and in that place shall live good and righteous people for ever and ever.
