Bible Question:
Hi, I want to ask about the passing away of the old earth that we now live in and the new earth. The new earth will be totally renewed form which we live today, all of our sorrow and our pain will be gone and everything will be new and we will live with God himself. Isn't that what the bible says about the earth as it is now and what it will be? Thanks all. |
Bible Answer: Greetings NightJay, Revelation 21 and 22 specifically describe that there will be a new heaven and a new earth, which will be created by God (Isaiah 65:17-19, 66:22), who makes all things new (Rev. 21:5). The new heaven and the new earth will be places where righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:13). The lion will dwell with the lamb (Isaiah 11:6), and peace will permeate all society so much so that swords will be beaten into plowshares (Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3), and we will learn of war no more. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Rev. 21:4) Blessings to you, Makarios |
