Bible Question: Why is there going to be a new heaven and a new Earth? |
Bible Answer: Cowboy, You asked, “Why is there going to be a new heaven and a new Earth?” Revelation 21:1 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away..." So the answer to your question is, “...the first heaven and the first earth passed away...” Just a note, the word “heaven” in the bible is often used to simply mean sky or atmosphere. So I would assume that that is what is meant here. So when will “the first heaven and the first earth passed away”? 2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” Hope this answers your question In Christian love, Ocelot |
