Heaven and Earth will pass away…Mark 13:31 What? When? How? Why? The bible concludes with a declaration that God has now created a new Heaven, a new Earth, and a new Jerusalem. And this is where believers will spend eternity.
Notes and Outline
At the end of the Millennium, we will be removed from this earth to the New Jerusalem the Lord has been preparing for us, and from that vantage point, we will witness the greatest fireworks display in history as God envelops this earth in fire, burning away the pollution of Satan’s last revolt (2 Peter 3:10-13). Out of that fiery inferno will come new heavens and a new earth where we will live forever in the New Jerusalem in the presence of Almighty God and His Son (Revelation 21:1-7).
This is GREAT news and flies totally in the face of the global warming religion. Man will not destroy the earth, God will. And God will make a new one. If you can’t believe He made the first one, you can’t believe He’ll make the second one. Genesis 1-2; Revelation 21-22. Amen.
I. The Gog - Magog War Against Israel Eze 38,39* Rev 20:7-10
Many modern Bible prophecy teachers declare that Israel will soon be invaded by Russia, Iran and surrounding Arab nations in the very near future
II. 2nd Resurrection and Great White Throne Judgment 2 Peter 3:7; Rev 20:11-15
III. Present Earth, Heavens Destroyed by Fire Matthew 24:35; 2 Peter 3:7-13; Rev 21:1
Notice, the following:
•The present heavens and earth will be destroyed by fire on the same day as the final destruction of ungodly men occurs—all taking place on the day of the great white throne judgment (2 Peter 3:7; Revelation 20:11-15).
•The destruction will occur to both the heavens and the earth (2 Peter 3:10,12).
•The NIV indicates that the heavens will "disappear with a roar," and the KJV says that the heavens will "pass away with a great noise" (2 Peter 3:10).
•The NIV says that the "day [of the Lord] will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire" (2 Peter 3:12). The implication is that destruction will happen after the day of the Lord has transpired.
• After the first heaven and earth have passed away, there will be "a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1). Even Jesus affirmed, quite clearly, that the present heaven and earth will pass away (Matthew 24:35).
Look how that passage, from Second Peter, is a direct parallel of the following passage, found in Revelation, after the millennial period is over:
Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. ... Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ... Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. ... He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" (Revelation 20:11,14, 21:1,5)
Heaven is home. Christians have always thought of going to heaven as going home.
On earth, we always orient towards going home.
