Subject: Who "inherit the earth"? |
Bible Note: And where's that, Steve? Revelation 21:2. Incidently, I'm not saying those who go to heaven will return to the earth. "They are to rule as kings over the earth." (Revelation 5:10, AT) "Destruction of ungodly men," "laid bare"? Yes, "this world" will be done away with, but not planet earth. "The earth remains forever." (2 Peter 3:7, 10, NIV; Ecclesiastes 1:4) Stokey. |
