I do believe the New Jerusalem (the new heaven) will replace the first earth and first heaven after it is destroyed _ after the Millennial Kingdom. 2 Peter 3:10 is that time when the earth and heavens burn in a fervent heat. What would be the point of Jesus returning to earth if He was just going to do that?
IF THE WHOLE EARTH IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH FIRE WHEN HE RETURNS WHY WOULD GOD DETAIL ALL THE EVENTS IN THE SEALS, TRUMPETS, BOWLS? These events consist of not just fire, but pestilence, wars, famine, demonic scorpion/ locusts who torture man for 5 months, a worldwide earthquake that causes all structures, mountains and islands to level, super volcanic eruptions (Deut. 32:22). And then after all the destruction, Israel will take 7 months to bury the dead. (EZEK. 39:12)
You seem to skip over all that stuff. Where would they bury the dead? In the first earth - which is not destroyed until After the 1000 years.
Why would God go through all that if His judgment was total? The key is, THERE ARE TWO JUDGMENTS SEPARATED BY 1000 YEARS
Sure, Zech. 14:12 is a description of the effects of a nuclear/ neutron bomb: your flesh is burned and dissolved as you stand on your feet.
Reminds me of that scene at the end of Raiders Of the Lost Ark.
2 Peter 3:10 is not the Great Tribulation _ a 3 1/2 year period _ a time of stress like no other. A sudden blaze of fire that melts the elements is not exactly 1260 days of stress - that would be sudden, no time time to stress - minutes before death or seconds.
Absolutely. The New Jerusalem. Amazing, 1400 miles x 1400 miles x 1400 miles, streets of gold, pearly gates ...
Rev. 6:12. Either an eclipse, but most likely effects of the smoke from 1/3 of the planet being on fire. Blood moon happens periodically, this time, blocked by smoke. Stars are Sun's, huge, cannot actually fall to earth. This is probably meteor/ asteroid shower or missiles flying.
After the seals and trumpets, He returns at the 7th Trumpet and still more tribulation comes in the bowls of wrath. Notice in the SEALS, TRUMPETS and bowls, destruction is to mankind and only part of the earth. Part of mankind is killed by pestilence (as we will see soon), part by wars, part by famine, beasts of the earth (animals will go insane and start attacking humans); 1/3 of the planet in fire, 1/3 of the fish in the sea killed, 1/3 of the ships destroyed (probably from that worldwide earthquake and volcanic eruptions causing tsunamis)
See you point out "tribulation of those days" without even thinking if that conforms to your total annihilation of the earth with fire. Why all the drama in practically 13 chapters of the Bible, if He was just going to toast the earth in one blast?
Right, our works will be tested with fire -at the Great White Throne judgment. Only treasures in heaven matter, things eternal, not material.
That was two towns along NE Dead Sea where there is a history of volcanic activity. The Great Syrian African Rift (3500 miles long) goes right through there. It has many inactive and active volcanos.
Absolutely. To remove sin and evil from the earth, clean it up, make it livable for a 1000 years. It says Satan and his Antichrist is locked up for 1000 years, then jjdged and THEN Hades and Death are thrown intobthe LAKE OF FIRE AND DESTROYED - THAT IS HELL, MORE OF AN EVENT THEN A PLACE. THE PLACE IS EARTH BEING BURNED. That is 2 Pet. 3:10
I am familiar with all the end time prophecies. I wrote a book based on 570 of the most powerful scriptures in the Bible and dedicated four chapters to this very topic. It doesn't make me right, it just means I have done some serious research.
Consume = melt, dissolve as in burn quickly before your bones drop.
Effects of a nuclear or neutron bomb. Of course Christ could do this as well.
I think all of Isaiah 65 is to be taken literally. You discard verse 20 so easily cause it diesnt wirk with yiur view- "Oh, that one's symbolic, bla, bla, bla."
