Therefore, "the image of the earthly" and "the image of the heavenly" MUST both must be made to be the same earthly image.
5. "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" [1 Corinthians 15:50]. If, as they teach, the kingdom of God will be the earth restored to be as it were before Adam sinned, Adam was flesh and blood before he sinned, therefore, if he were restored to his sinless state, he would still be flesh and blood and could not "inherit the kingdom of God" If Israel were restored to be like it was in the time of David, the Jews would still be "flesh and blood" and could not inherit the "kingdom of God."
6. "We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed" (Changed from the image of Adam, this earthly body we now bear to a "spiritual body" 1 Corinthians 15:51-52). "As we have (now) borne the image of the earthy, we shall (after the resurrection) also bear the image of the heavenly."
Heaven is one creation, Earth is another and they are not of the same substance. What kind of bodies do angels now have? Are they just thin air nothing or do spirits have bodies with substance? Is God nothing with no body or no substance, just thin air? I think Heaven is a place with substance, most certainly far greater then this earth, and not just a cloud in the sky.
No one knows anything about what our spiritual body will be like, but it is not something we now have inside this body of flesh, just waiting to get out at death. It will be a body, not just thin air or some kind of ghost; therefore, it will have substance of some kind, but not flesh [1 John 3:2].
Most believe Christ is a person and has a body, a spiritual body that has substance, but not like anything on earth; "For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" [Colossians 2:9] and at the resurrection we shall be like Him. "Beloved, now we are children of God, AND IT HAS NOT APPEARED AS YET WHAT WE SHALL BE. WE KNOW THAT, WHEN HE APPEARS, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, BECAUSE WE SHALL SEE HIS JUST AS HE IS" [1 John 3:2]. "God is a spirit" [John 4:24] and Angels are spirits [Hebrews 1:7, 14; 1 Kings 22:21]. God, Christ and Angels now have spiritual bodies with substance, but not anything like any substance on this earth. We will also have a spiritual body, which will have substance (not just thin air) as God and as all the Heavenly being now have; but not as grand as His. We will then have a body that has substance just as they now have, but we do not now have that body, and will not have it at death. We will not have the spiritual body unto the resurrection [1 Corinthians 15]. It will not be the same earthly body in the image of Adam that we now have. Not just a better earthly body.
MANY MANSIONS IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE "IN MY FATHER'S ("Who is in Heaven" Matthew 5:16; 5:45; 5:48; 6:1; 6:9; 7:21; 10:32,3: and many more) HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS...I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. (Where did Christ go to prepare a place for us? In the mansions in my Father's house in Heaven) For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but himself says: THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, 'SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET'" [Acts 2:34-35]. "AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU (A PLACE IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE IN HEAVEN), I COME AGAIN, AND WILL RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AN THERE YOU MAY ALSO BE" (WITH ME IN THE PLACE I GO TO PREPARE FOR YOU IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE IN HEAVEN) [John 14:1-3]. "But now I go unto him (unto my Father who is in Heaven that sent me") "The word (Christ who was with the Father in the beginning and has always been like God, a heavenly being) became flesh, and dwelled among us" John 1:14) [John 16:5]. He is no longer flesh, but has now gone back to Heaven to prepare a place for the saved and will come back for them. "He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." [Revelation 3:21]. Christ is now on His Father's throne in Heaven where He went to prepare a place of us in His Father's house. I was told by a Premillennialists friend, "Jesus is now in heaven 'drawing up the plans,' to coin a phrase, of the 'new heavens and the new earth' in what has and will be called the 'kingdom of God,' with Messiah as its King. Jesus is right now, along with God his Father, preparing (John 14) the kingdom government complexities and jurisdictions and so on." A person who has a friend that wants to go to school in Tampa says to his friend, "My father has a house with many rooms; I will go and prepare a place for you." Did he mean he as going to his father's house in Tampa and draw up plains for a house and come back and build it for him in New York? Of course not. Everyone would understand that he was going to prepare a place in his father's house, not to draw up plans and come back to earth to build it. My friend is not willing to accept a clear and plain statement for it would make his belief not possible. IT IS CLEAR THAT CHRIST SAID HE WAS GOING TO PREPARE US A PLACE IN HIS FATHER'S HOUSE, NOT THAT HE WAS GOING AWAY TO DRAW UP PLAINS FOR A PLACE ON EARTH FOR US. THIS IS A VERY WEAK TRY TO EVADE THIS PASSAGE.
THREE CHANGES ARE MADE BY PREMILLENNIALISTS. "In my Father's house ARE many mansions" [John 14:2]. This is present tense. THE MANSIONS WERE IN HIS FATHER'S HOUSE WHEN CHRIST WAS SPEAKING. Christ said IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE there ARE many mansions, not there WILL BE many mansions ON EARTH after Christ comes back and makes them when He makes a kingdom of this earth.
1. Premillennialists change from present tense to future tense.
2. Premillennialists change from many mansions in His Father's house to a kingdom on this earth.
3. Premillennialists change from preparing a place in His father's house to drawing up plains for a house that is not yet built.
Their reply is that God "Calls those things which are not as though they were? (Romans 4:17), that God calls things which are not yet in existence as though they were already?" It is true, that God does speak of some things as though they now exist. Eternal life is one of them. We will not have eternal life unto after the resurrection, but it is so sure for those who are in Christ that the Bible speaks of it as if the Christian now has eternal life [Compare 1 John 2:25 and 1 John 511-20]. But, it is clearly evident that Christ was not speaking of something that did not exist as though it now existed.
RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR US. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, UNTO AN INHERITANCE INCORRUPTIBLE, AND UNDEFILED, AND THAT FADES NOT AWAY, RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU" [1 Peter 1:3-4]. Where is it reserved? In the place where Christ went to prepare it for us, "in my Father's house," in Heaven.
OUR TREASURES ARE IN HEAVEN. "But lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust does consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" [Matthew 6:20-21]. Where are our treasures and heart to be? In the same place Christ went to prepare us a place and the same place where our inheritance is, in Heaven, not on earth. My Premillennialists friend above also said to me, "'Our citizenship is in heaven' right NOW, but just because it is up in heaven right now doesn't mean that is where we finally go to get it! It is like our retirement is IN THE BANK, but we are not going to retire AT THE BANK, but the money will COME OUT OF THE BANK for us to retire (enjoy) somewhere else." Who would have thought Heaven is a bank? Will our heart also "COME OUT OF THE BANK"?
OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN "For OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN; whence also we wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory" [Philippians 3:20-21]. If our citizenship is in Heaven, as long as we are on this earth we are now and would always be an alien.
SEEK THE THINGS ABOVE WHERE CHRIST IS "If then you have been raised up with Christ, KEEP SEEKING THE THINGS ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST IS, SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and you life is hidden with Christ in God. WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, IS REVEALED, THEN YOU ALSO WILL BE REVEALED WITH HIM IN GLORY" [Colossians 2:1-4]. Seek the things that are where Christ has gone to prepare a place for us. A restored earth is not the things above where Christ is, not the things Paul said to seek.
AN ETERNAL BUILDING IN THE HEAVENS. "For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; (Is not this earth seen?) but the things, which are not seen, are eternal. For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle (Our body) be dissolved (Not our bodies restored), we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" [2 Corinthians 4:17-5:2].
AN INHERITANCE...RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU. "Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you" [1 Peter 1:4]. If it is reserved in Heaven, it would do us no good if the saved live forever on the earth and never get to Heaven. I think Peter knew more about where it is at than anyone does today.
1. Christ went to prepare us a place in His Fathers many mansions [John 14:1-3].
2. Our inheritance is reserved in Heaven for us [1 Peter 1:3-4].
3. Our treasures are in Heaven [Matthew 6:20-21].
4. Our citizenship is in Heaven [Philippians 3:20-21].
5. Our hope in Heaven [Colossians 1:5].
6. "We have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" [2 Corinthians 4:17-5:2].
7. "Keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God" [Colossians 2:1-4].
8. Christ will deliver the kingdom up to God [1 Corinthians 15;24-26].
Yet, I am told there is not one passage in the Bible that says we will be in Heaven!!! That we live on this earth in a body with flesh and bones. Did not Paul say, "Now this I say, brethren, that FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD" [1 Corinthians 15:50-54].
FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD "Now this I say, brethren, that FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; (Our bodies in the image of Adam made for this earth is not suitable) neither do corruption inherit incorruption (Our bodies in the image of Adam is corruptible and cannot inherit in the heavenly realm). Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep (Shall not die), but we shall all be changed (All that are asleep when Christ comes and all that are alive), in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible (In the heavenly image of Christ, not in the corruptible image of Adam which they had when they died). For this corruptible must put on incorruption, (This earthly body in the image of Adam must put on incorruption, a spiritual body in the image of Christ. Adam never had a spiritual body before or after he ate.), and this mortal must put on immortality (This mortal body which is the body we now have must be changed to an immortal spiritual body which will not be the body of this earth which we now have). But, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory" [1 Corinthians 15:50-54]. "We that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven (From the place where God is), with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds (To meet Him in the air and will have a body not of this earth) to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall ever be with the Lord" [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17]. "Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him because we shall see His just as He is" [1 John 3:2]. We know what the image of Adam is for we now have it. His image was flush and blood both before and after he sins, and we know that we now have his image, a body of flesh and blood, but we do not now know what the spiritual body in the image of Christ will be like.
Some have reversed the Bible.The Bible says:
Man who is in the image of Adam (a flesh and blood body) --- changed to the image of Christ (a spiritual body).
Millennialists say:
Christ who is in the same image that God is --- changed to the image of Adam (Some say to the image of Adam before his sin, but he was an earthly flesh and blood being at that time also, not a spiritual being) to rule over the kingdom on this earth forever. They have Christ who has for all eternity existed with God forever leaving Heaven. Christ who is a heavenly being with God becoming an earthly being. Many say He will forever rule the earth from Jerusalem. What kind of world do they think it would be for mankind if they had spiritual bodies in the image of Christ but living on a physical world with physical animals, plaint, etc.? We do not know what a spiritual body will be like, or a spiritual place (Heaven) that was made for spiritual being will be like but it is not reasonable to believe the two will be mixed after the resurrection. Many of those who believe the earth will be restored and mankind will not go to Heaven but will forever live on this earth also be that mankind will be given a second change after death and most of them will believe and be saved. The very few who will not believe will literally be burned up in the literal Gehenna near Jerusalem. If Christ comes soon and most that have lived on this earth for the six thousand years it has been here were alive on it. Where would there be room of all? It would be standing room only. If Christ does not come for ten or twenty thousand more years, we would be standing on top of each other.
THE EARTH WILL PERISH "You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands; THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU WILL REMAIN" [Hebrews 1:10]. "Will perish" does not mean they will be remade to be like before Adam's sin. "Will perish" and "Will remain" are opposite to each other, not the same. The earth will perish, come to an end, but Christ will remain. THE QUESTION IS, HOW COULD CHRIST FOREVER RULE THE CHURCH ON THIS EARTH IF THIS EARTH IS GOING TO PERISH, AND HOW COULD CHRIST AND THE CHURCH REMAIN AFTER THE EARTH HAS PERISHED?
WILL BE LIKE ANGELS "The sons of this age marry nor are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age (The age to come. Not all will be worthy to attain to it) and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, not are given in marriage; for neither can they die any more, FOR THEY ARE LIKE ANGELS, (Like the angels, they will have a body suitable for that age. Not earthly being and will no longer have a flesh and body in the image of Adam made for this earth, but a spiritual body in the image of Christ. ANGELS HAVE NEVER HAD AN EARTHLY BODY IN THE IMAGE OF ADAM. WHEN WE ARE LIKE THEM, HOW COULD WE HAVE EARTHLY BODIES WITH FLESH AND BONES?) and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection" [Luke 20:34-36]. That it is spiritual bodies that will be like angels is shown by the fact that they neither marry nor are given in marriage. Adam was made of the earth and had a flesh and blood body and Eve were made from his body before their sin, they never had a spiritual body or bodies like the angels had long before this earth was made. To have a body like Adam before he sinned would be to have a flesh and blood body and be male and female. It would be nothing like the Angels. Both God and angels are spirits [John 4:24, Hebrews 1:14], but God created angels. They are in not equal with God.
A MAN IS "FOR A LITTLE WHILE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS." "What are human beings that you are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them? You have made them FOR A LITTLE WHILE lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor, subjection all things under their feet. Now in subjecting all things to them, God left nothing outside their control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to them, but we do see Jesus, who, FOR A LITTLE WHILE was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone" [Hebrews 2:5-8 New Revised Standard Version]. Mankind is now mortal, and we do not now see our self as we will be, immortal, but we do see Christ who was in the beginning with God [John 1:1] and was immortal, who far a little while was made to be a man, mortal and lower than the angels, but we now see Him immortal with the Father who is in Heaven.
The author of Hebrews says of Christ, who was immortal from all eternity, "Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He ...Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things" [Hebrews 2:14-17]. He was lower than the angels "for a short while," but will never be again. He will never again have the earthly image of Adam before or after Adam's sin. We will never have Adam's image after the resurrection.

WHERE IS GOD? AT HIS SECOND COMING CHRIST WILL DELIVER THE KINGDOM UP TO GOD. The kingdom, the church to which God adds the saved [Acts 2:47], The church is the body of Christ [Ephesians 1:22]. "For even as we have many members in one body...so we, who are many, are one body in Christ" [Romans 12:4-5]. "Now you are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof" [1 Corinthians 12:27]. The family of God in which all the saved are a member. God the father, Christ the son, those in Christ are the children and heirs of God "But you received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abbe, Father. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ." "For in Adam all die, so also in Christ SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. But, each in his own order: Christ the first fruits; then they are Christ's AT HIS COMING. THEN COMES THE END (After His second coming) WHEN HE SHALL DELIVER UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD (To God who is in Heaven, not on earth)...FOR HE (Christ) MUST
REIGN (In the Kingdom where He is now reigning), TILL HE HAS PUT ALL HIS ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET. The last enemy that shall be abolished is death" (At His second coming) [1 Corinthians 15;23-26]. Note: In an attempt to prove that the kingdom will not be delivered up to God after the Judgment, but that it will be established on the earth after the coming of Christ some point out that the "UP" is not in some translations and not in some Greek manuscripts. Even without the "UP," there is no way to get around the fact that this passage says the kingdom will be delivered by the Son to God the Father, and I know of no one who does not believe the Father is in Heaven, not on earth. Not delivered by the Son to earth from God, but delivered (up) by the Son from earth to the Father who is in Heaven. It does not say the kingdom will be established on the earth after the Judgment.
"When he shall deliver the kingdom to God"-- not-- "When he shall deliver the kingdom down from God to earth."WE NOW BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE EARTHLY - WE SHALL BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY. "And just as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (Not the flesh and blood image of Adam before or after he sinned, not an earthly body, not a body of dust) [1 Corinthians 15:48].
2 Corinthians 4:16-18; 5:1"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who WILL transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory" [Philippians 3:20-21].
"For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle BE DISSOLVED, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" [2 Corinthians 5:1 American Standard Version]. "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in IS DESTROYED" [New Revised Standard Version]. Could it be said any clearer that our earthly bodies will be dissolved just as "the elements shall BE DISSOLVED with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are there in shall be burned up" [2 Peter 3:10].
ONE BODY PUT OFF: "THE EARTHLY HOUSE OF OUR TABERNACLE BE DISSOLVED." ANOTHER BODY PUT ON: "A building from God, a house not made with hands." "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption" [1 Corinthians 15:50]. "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?...You sow not the body that shall be" [1 Corinthians 15:35-44].

THE DAY OF THE LORD
All this in one day, the day Christ comes. The day of the Lord.
The second coming of Christ [2 Peter 3:10].
The resurrection and judgment of the righteous [Acts 24:15; John 5:28-29; 6:40-41]. The resurrection and judgment of the wicked [John 12:48].
The final judgment [Acts 17:31; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10].
The total destruction of the earth and the heavens which were made from nothing and will return to nothing [2 Peter 3:7-11].
The total destruction of the lost [2 Peter 2:12; 3:7].
The second death [Revelation 2:11].
Death will be abolished [1 Corinthians 15:24-16].
The saved forever with the Lord [1 Thessalonians 4:14-17].
The kingdom will be delivered up to God [1 Corinthians 15:24-26].
Christ will bring the lawless one to an end by the appearance of His coming [2 Thessalonians 2:1-9].
"Wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God" [2 Thessalonians 1:7-10].
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief" [2 Peter 3:10]. No one knows when the "day of the Lord" will come, but when it comes, EVERYONE on earth, living or dead, will know it. Coming "as a thief" shows the unexpectedness of His coming; no one knows what day or year. No one will be resurrected before the day of the Lord comes, all will be resurrected when it comes.
[2] ON THE DAY OF THE LORD - THE RESURRECTION AND JUDGMENT OF THE RIGHTEOUS IN THE LAST DAY"There shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust" [Acts 24:15]. Both the righteous and the wicked will be raised and judged at the same time on the same day, not a thousand years apart. "Marvel not at this; for the hour comes in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of judgment" [John 5:28-29]. All will be raised in the same "hour." Not the saved raised and then the lost raised a thousand years later.
"And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone that beholds the Son, and believes on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day" [John 6:40-41]. Not a thousand years before the last day.
"He that rejects me, and receives not my sayings, has one that judges him: the word that I speak, the same shall judge him in the last day" [John 12:48].
[4] ON THE DAY OF THE LORD - THE FINAL JUDGMENT.
Millennialists must divide the judgment into two parts. If it is shown that the judgment of both those in Christ and those who are not in Christ is one judgment of both at the same time and on the same day, not separated by a thousand years, it makes their view not be possible. In the passages above the judgment, it is not a broken judgment with the two parts a thousand years apart.
"He has appointed a day in which he will judge the world" [Acts 17:31].
"If so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, and to you that are afflicted rest with us, AT THE REVELATION OF THE LORD JESUS FROM HEAVEN with the angels of his power in flaming fire, RENDERING VENGEANCE TO THEM THAT KNOW NOT GOD, AND TO THEM THAT OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS WHO SHALL SUFFER PUNISHMENT, EVEN ETERNAL DESTRUCTION from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS, and marveled at in all them that believe (because our testimony unto you was believed) IN THAT DAY" [2 Thessalonians 1:6-10].
WHAT is to be done to both
Them that know not God, "Shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction." His saints: "Counted worthy of the kingdom of God" Verse 5. WHEN it is to be done to both
"At the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven...WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS...IN THAT DAY"
There is no way this passage can be broken apart and made to be speaking to things that will be a thousand years apart. It is speaking of what will happen to both "in that day," not a thousand years apart. If all the Bible is to be taken literally as the Millennialists say it is, could any passage say any clearer then this one that the resurrection and judgment are simultaneously on the same day?
"Do not marvel at this; for THE HOUR IS COMING, IN WHICH ALL WHO ARE IN THE TOMBS SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE AND SHALL COME FORTH; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment" [John 5:28-29].
"But after your hardness and unrepentant heart treasures up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; who will render to every man according to his works: to them that be patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life: but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that works evil" [Romans 2:5-6]. This will be "in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ" [Romans 2:16].
"For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God" [Romans 14:10].
"For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he had done, whether it be good or bad" [2 Corinthians 5:10].
The Premillennialists time table has the judgment a thousand years after the day of the Lord.
Also Matthew 25:46; Hebrews 10:27; Romans 14:10; 2:5-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3; 2 Peter 2:12; 3:7-11; 2:10; Revelation 2:11; 21:8
[5] ON THE DAY OF THE LORD - THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS WHICH WERE MADE FROM NOTHING AND WILL RETURN TO NOTHING. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" [Matthew 24:35; Psalms 102:25-27].
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief: in which the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men...But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; IN THE WHICH THE HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL BE DISSOLVED WITH FERVENT HEAT (The elements are all the things of which the earth is made, the air, the water, etc. These shall be dissolved, burned up), AND THE EARTH AND WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP. SEEING THAT
THESE THINGS ARE THUS ALL TO BE DISSOLVED " [2 Peter 3:7-11].
"The heavens SHALL PASS AWAY with a great noise, and the elements SHALL MELT with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing than that all these things shall be dissolved" King James Version.
"The heavens SHALL PASS AWAY with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall BE BURNED UP. Seeing that these things are thus, all TO BE DISSOLVED" American Standard Version.
"The heavens WILL PASS AWAY with a roar, and the elements will BE DESTROYED with i
