Bible Question:
I always thought that after the second coming of Christ that the earth was going to be distroyed after a 1000 years or something like that. The moon turning to blood and all. But then it also says in Ecc. 1:4 that the earth will always be. I was wondering if that was true or if just taking that verse out of contects is like taking "Judus hung himself" and "go and do like wise" together. They don't go together and taking the verse by itself doesn't seem to make sence will Rev. I may not be making a lot of sence and this probably isn't all that important but it is something I would like someone to help clerify for me. Thank you. |
Bible Answer: Will the earth be distroyed? YES!! I can not explain the writtings of Solomon in Ecclesiastes as clearly as I’d like. However; take a look at v.2. He states that all is vanity. Is that what you think about your Christian Walk? Your relationship with the Lord, is it vanity? II Perter 3:12-13 says, “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Revelations 21:1 says, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;and there was no more sea. This earth as we know it will cease to exsist at some point and time. I just can not say when. Therefore your previous thoughts about the destruction of the earth were correct. And, “YES, this is very important”. The CurtMan |
