The
New Heaven and the New Earth
(For a more comprehensive
explanation of end time events, read A
Glimpse Into the Future.)
The Word teaches that this earth which has been
polluted by sin, and the existing heavens, will be destroyed
by fire after the White Throne Judgment. Then God will create
a new heaven and a new earth in which the righteous will dwell.
The new heaven and the new earth will surpass anything which
man is capable of describing. Pain, sorrow, tears, crying,
and even death will forever be abolished in this place where
the redeemed will dwell with God forever. The new heaven and
earth will never pass away.
Isaiah 65:17
— "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new
earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into
mind."
Isaiah 66:22 —
"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will
make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your
seed and your name remain."
Matthew 24:35 —
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away."
2 Peter 3:12-13
— "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the
day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless
we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Revelation 21:1-3 —
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was
no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall
be with them, and be their God."
