In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus Christ -Yeshua]
was in the beginning with God.
THE NEW EARTH
God will create a new earth after the end of the
Millennium age. The
Book of Revelation (20:11) reveals that the current earth and heavens
will not exist at the time of the Great White Throne Judgment. The
apostle Peter, in his second letter (Second Peter 3:5-13), makes it
clear that the current earth and heavens will pass away. The earth and
everything in it will be burned up with a fervent heat. All things will
be made new and pure righteousness will dwell on this new earth.
There is differing opinion among some biblical scholars whether the
current earth will be purified by a fervent heat or whether an entirely
new earth will be created to replace the current one to be destroyed.
The latter appears more likely than the former. Peter makes it clear
that the current heavens and earth will pass away. Jesus stated, "Heaven
and earth will pass away but My word will never pass away" (Matthew
24:35). Our current world was
already destroyed once by water with only Noah and his family saved.
However, it was still an earth cursed by sin. It seems unlikely that God
would melt the elements to reshape the current sin-cursed earth. The Almighty God who created the heavens and earth from
nothing can repeat the process. The important outcome is that there will
no longer be cycles of life and death. God will be the eternal shining
light on a heaven and earth without end. Satan
and his angels will not be able to defile the new creation.
Regardless of how God creates the new earth and heavens, He will do His work to perfection. We need only know that God
Himself will make a perfect world as He had intended from the beginning.
God Almighty and His son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, will
be the eternal shining light. As Jesus prayed, “Our Father in
heaven, Your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on
earth as it is in heaven”. [HCSB]
