NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH
-
II Peter
3:7-13 “But the new heavens and the earth, which are
now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But,
beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with
the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the
day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which
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 then that all these
things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness. Looking for and hasting
unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on
fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look
for a new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.”

Revelation
20:11 “And I saw a great white throne, and him that
sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.”
