| 1 | Future New Earth and New Heavens in the Scriptures |
| 2 | The Current Earth and Universe will be Burned Up |
There are several scriptures dealing with the new Heavens and the new Earth that are different than any that have already existed. Two of the best scriptures that inform us are 2 Peter 3:10-13 and Revelation 21:1. Notice Heaven is plural "Heavens" as there will be many created types of new Heavens that will contain Universes.
Many Biblical Scientists, and Scientist who are not Believers in God, are starting to develop theories that our Universe is a subset of a larger "Reality" where there are multiple Dimensions that are higher than our perceivable four dimensions of height, width, length and time. This is fascinating to always realize that science proves God and the Bible proves who God Is which is the Creator. God is the "I AM" of Eternity that exists outside of everything created.
The Heavens and the Earth, where the Earth is part of the Universe, are two different separated places that are "hung and hangs" on nothing, Job 26:7. The Book of Job is thousands of years old and confirms scientific principles discovered in modern-times that were completely unknown by humans at the time the Book of Job was written.
| 2 Peter 3:10-13 | 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. |
| Revelation 21:1 | Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. |
There are also many other scriptures that confirm and let us know that there will be a future Heavens and Earth in Eternity after the Great White Thrown of Judgment when all humans without Salvation are condemned to the Lake of Fire.
| Genesis 1:1 | Heavens is plural: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. |
| Isaiah 65:17 | For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or 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. |
| Job 26:7 Stretches the Universe |
He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. |
| 2 Chronicles 6:18 | But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built! |
Everything that exists which is more than our universe and the Heavens where God inhabits is part of the Kingdom of God. God inhabits Eternity and Eternity can be described as outside of everything God has Created.
The currently created:
are going to be replaced and burnt up in an intense heat according to the Scriptures. This includes Heaven being burnt up in intense heat.
The reason why this is going to happen, according to many Biblical Scholars,
is Lucifer with the
Fallen Angels, Demons, along with
Humans that do not have Salvation
have contaminated, polluted and tainted all of these areas. God is not
going to allow Lucifer, the
Fallen Angels, Demons and Humans that
do not have Salvation to see the
New Entire Kingdom of God.
| The following is an excerpt from the
Big Bang topic: (Note that NBS refers to a Non-Believing in
God Scientist.) As a Christian, there should be no problem to agree on some points with NBS who are against the Biblical Creation. For the sake of a starting point of a positive dialogue with a NBS, there can be the following assertions thoughts:
because no one was there to know how God created the Universe and Scripture does not give these types of details. God created the laws that govern our reality, and science reveals and authenticates the Creator, in this author's opinion. Somewhat conversely, when dealing with the future destruction of the Universe, we know that God states the Universe will be burnt up in the end. So, if the universe, in the future, is capable of reaching intense heat to be destroyed then Christians do not need to be concerned if the universe was in a state of intense heat in the beginning. Christians need to accept God's Word that He created it. Understanding cosmology and physics with the purpose of honoring God is a great and honorable undertaking. It is this author's opinion that most of the publicized discussions on a secular evolutionary creation of the universe is done with the purpose of eliminating God and thus removing accountability to God.
Regarding details in the Bible on physics on how Stars and the Universe was created by God, there is nothing scientific presented as it is apparent that God didn't give mankind an architectural design book on everything created by God! Nor do we need an explanation on all science areas. The Scriptures are overwhelmingly there to teach us who God is, Him reaching out to mankind after falling which separated us from Him and to give us the way to be Saved through the free gift of Jesus Christ's payment for sins that separate us. |
