The New Heaven and New Earth

Todays Reading: 2 Peter 3:10, 13, Revelation 21

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,
in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat;
both the earth and the works that are in it
will be burned up...

Nevertheless we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth
in which righteousness dwells."
2 Peter 3:10,13

"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth
had passed away...
Then I, John, saw the holy city,
New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
'Behold, the dwelling of God is with men
and He will live with them and be their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death, or mourning,
or crying or pain for the former things have passed away."
Rev 21:1-4

As we approach the end this year, we are confident a new year will begin. So too as we near the end of the age; know that a new age is coming... a new heaven and a new earth... dwelling with God! Let us affirm our hope of what will surely come to pass. Be encouraged and blessed.

"Behold I make all things new."
Rev 21:5

It's such a comfort to know that God will destroy the current heavens and earth and recreate new ones! The current heavens and the current earth have been so filled with evil since the fall of the angels and of men; both have become so totally corrupted!

The purified, sanctified children of God and His blessed God-adoring angels will all live together in a completely pure environment which has never been corrupted by evil and sin, where no blood has ever been shed!

It's so comforting because the current earth and heavens have been turned into a dump by the fallen angels (the Malakim) and fallen man.
