The earth will NOT remain as it is after all the judgments are poured out, and the earth is literally burned up with supernatural fire, in order to usher in the New Heavens and the New Earth. Taking that verse by itself would be misleading, since we have all the subsequent prophecies which override "while the earth remaineth" (as it was created). The present Heaven and Earth will not pass out of existence. This idea is the result of a superficial reading of 2 Pet. 3:10-13 and Rev. 20:11; 21:1. 2 Pet. 3:10-13 as it reads, does not convey the idea that the present Heaven and Earth will be annihilated. In fact fire does not cause anything to cease to exist. Fire can merely change something from one condition to another, or renovate and cleanse, as the case may be. Peter shows that there will be a renovation of the Earth by fire and that future renovation will not blot out the Earth any more than did the destruction of the world by water in the beginning. These facts alone prove that the atmospheric heavens and the Earth, "which are now," will never cease to exist, but will be merely renovated by fire and exist in a renewed state; wherein dwelleth righteousness. Rev. 21-22 proves that the New Earth will be after the Millennium . It was not until after the 1,000years reign of Christ and His saints, the last rebellion of Satan and man against God that the destruction of the rebels, and the last resurrection and final judgment that John said, "And I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away . . . . 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."

Really? Ask the homeowners who have lost their homes in fires. "New heavens and new earth" means that the existing heavens and earth have been thoroughly burned up, and totally replaced. "Seed time and harvest" pertains to the surface of the earth, so even if the globe remains (which it will), everything that presently exists on this earth will be vaporized. That is precisely what Peter reveals. That supernatural fire is for CLEANSING AND PURIFICATION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we can all agree on is what is most important & the reason for the parable in the first place & that is that we must live READY ,in Christ Jesus!

Those beautiful homes burnt down in fires were changed from beautiful homes to a huge pile of ash! They never ceased to exist, they were not removed, they were changed from one substance to another. Home + fire = ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
