| Hi, THE EARTH WILL BE DESTROYED AGAIN Further to my post in connection with the above, may I now solicit your comments on the following: Gen.9:11 "...never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth" But the earth will be consumed by fire vide 2Peter3:7. What is the difference between destruction by flood and by fire?In both ways, the earth will be totally destroyed-the end result will be the same. Your comments,please. With Love in Christ.

| The difference between destruction by water and destruction by fire seems fairly obvious. One is very wet and the other very warm. God made it plain in Genesis 9:11 that He would never again bring on a flood of the magnitude of Noah's flood. But then He did not thereby imply or promise that the earth would stand forever. Note the phrasing of Genesis 8:22: "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease." The earth remains in existence still; these cycles of nature go on still; God has not reneged on His promise. But He did not say that the earth was eternal, that it would remain forever. What He said was, "WHILE the earth remains..." That phrasing sounds temporal to me. When someone says something like, "I want to enjoy every day as much as possible WHILE I am still alive on this earth" certainly doesn't lead us to infer that the person believes he will live on this earth forever. And God certainly did not promise that the earth would abide forever ..... I'm still not sure whether I've adequately addressed your question, because I'm not really sure what it is. --Hank | ||||||
