Bible Question:
Did solomon has the ideas of ressurection both the earth and the mankind so you can tell that the 'earth" that he mention is the earth that "the new earth". Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They not having received the promises about ressurection, moses in his five books did not mention that when the people of israel disobeyed they will go to hell nor they go to heaven if they disobey.' The promise to them is the promise land (canaan) and no the new earth. Ge 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. So I am very precise that the "earth" being mentioned by solomon is not the "new earth" but he is referring to this "earth" that we are still belong. God bless, |
Bible Answer: We need to look at Scripture in light of other Scripture. The same Holy Spirit that inspired the Great Preacher also inspired Peter in what they wrote. We can't play 'Scripture Hopscotch' with the Word of Almighty God. When we look at Scripture in light of other Scripture, confusion no longer abounds and we can see what God is telling us. This earth will not pass away -- per se -- it will be purified by fire and made new. In Christ, SRP |
