"Heaven" or "heavens"? The problem may lie in our understanding of the word “heaven” here. Does it refer to God’s home or to the atmosphere? Please note that many translations render this passage as “through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens”. The literal translations all use the word “heavens” and not “heaven”. With that, remember the following: 2Pe 3:7 the heavens and the earth are now kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. Psalm 102:25,26 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. If the “heaven” in Colossians 1:20 really refers to the atmosphere, we can understand that it, along with the earth, has been polluted. It needs to be reconciled to God, cleaned up and restored to him. I wonder if this answer satisfies you. |
