Will this world survive?

[Guest evechot]

No other generation has heard so much talk about the "end of the world". Many fear that the world will end in a nuclear holcaust. Others think that pollution may destroy the world. Still others worry that economic chaos will set masses of humanity against one another.

Could this world really end? If it did, what would it mean? Has a orld ever ended before?

A World Ends....Another replaces it.

Yes, a world did end. Consider the world that became very wicked in the days of Noah. The Bible explains; "The world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water". The Bible also says; "[God] did not bold back from punishing an ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with seven others when he brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people". [2 Peter 2:5; 3:6]

Note what the end of that world meant and what it did not mean. It did not mean the end humankind. Noah and his family survived the global Flood. So did the planet Earth and the beautiful starry heavens. It was 'a world of ungodly people" that perished, a wicked system of things.

Eventually, as Noah's offspring increased, another world developed. That second world, or system of things, has existed down to our day. Its history has been filled with the need for "Wars", crime, and violence. What will happen to this World? Will it survive????

2 Peter 3

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

Revalation 21: 1 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.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 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.

*sings* "It's the end of the world as we know it,

And I feel fine.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake

birds, snakes and aeroplanes,

Yeah, Lenny Bruce is not afraid..."

Well, we know that one day the end of all the world as we know it WILL come, when Christ returns. I'm thinking that's not really what you meant, though...*grin*

Personally, I'd like to see some more space explorations happen, other worlds colonized, some lightsabres, the Millenium Falcon...

Well, maybe not

Seriously, though, I have no idea...

You know, if you took away the people, this would be a fairly nice planet

How would you know if you'd been taken away?

If the humanoid population of an entire planet suddenly disappears and there's no one around to hear it...

Now that might be subject to what your were on the planet. There is a lot of struggle that happens in this world that has nothing to do with mankind (or womankind either , such as bears eating fish, or lions and tigers and such eating a lot of things..... big fish eating little fish and on and on it goes.

It would be hard to think of the planet as being nice when you were in the belly of a whale.......

Not to mention all the poop that would be around for lack of someone to clean it up

I don't think this world will survive. There is too many things affecting our environment because of the increase in the knowledge of men.
