There are four verses in the Christian Bible that state that God will make, or has made in a prophetic sense, a new earth. So being curious I asked, If all the saved are going to go to heaven after death then why is there going to be a new earth?
Here are the scriptures that mention the new earth.
Isaiah 65:17
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.”
Isaiah 66:22
“For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says Yahweh, “So shall your descendants and your name remain.”
2 Peter 3:13
“Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”
Revelation 21:1
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
Revelation 3:12b
“the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God”
My deductions :
1. The dead are still dead , both wicked, rich, good , poor , small and great.
2. Christ arrives with the trump sound of the arch angel
3. The dead in Christ are raised first with immortal bodies
4. We who are alive will meet the Lord in the air and our bodies will be changed to immortal in the twinkling of an eye.
5. Then Christ comes with us to earth to judge the wicked
6. After judgement, the wicked are punished, destroyed and cut off from the earth, together with Satan and his demons.
7. The earth is made new
8. We dwell in this new earth with Christ as our king forever.
D righeous will dwell in d new earth n God kingdom will rule on earth wit Jesus as d king 4 a thousand yrs. Humans will b made perfect n death will b no more,d earth will b made a paradise dats bible teachin
You are a very ignorant fellow. Heaven and Hell are real whether you believe it or not. Read John 14:1-4 and Rev 21:8. Repent today otherwise you believe when its already too late.
Wow! This is to show how great the Scripture has spoken, cuz many have d book, listen to it or read it, but do not understand anything about it.
Dear, writter! Your quotes and explanations, though with lots of lapses, for it lacked proper interpretation, has already disqualified or attested against your heading- “Believe Me No One is Going to Heaven.”
However, all the verses you have quoted talked about the life after Death and about the Judgement Day- where some people willl enter Paradise (i.e Heaven) and others would be sent to Hell Fire.
The meaning of a new earth and a new heaven is talking about what becomes the nature of them after the last trumpet is blown that every living will die (i.e the first death of the body and soul).
Remember that, logically and spiritually, heaven means “home of peace and rest” or “home of purity and abundance of blessings and mercies of God” while earth refers to “home of torment and deceit, home of trouble and wickedness, home of struggles, home of vanity, etc”.
If we consider the first quote i.e Isaiah 65:17, this verse may be interpreted in two ways. First, it refers to the creation before us (i.e b4 our own Adam. see Genesis. Second, it refers to judgemnt day of our own tym in which d heaven wld open up nd d everythn on d surface of d earth wld b reduced in2 dust particles. Then, heaven and earth become new.
Isaiah 66:22, refers to our living foreva in paradise bearin our new ways wt our names and likewise for those in hell. The 2Peter also talked about the same thing.
Nevertheless, the Revelation talked about what happens to those people who accept the Prophet after Jesus Christ and also truly believe in and understand the second coming of Jesus Christ, the reward they will from God which is to make Heaven (i.e they will be the people of new Jerusalem).
DISAPPROVAL OF YOUR DEDUCTIONS.
1. The dead are no more the dead for every soul will ressurect for judgement.
2. The arrival of Christ is for his second coming and that is not the end of the world. He was not also the one to judge people but God, his Father in heaven.
3. Dead in Christ are those who deeply believed in him and are rewarded wt salvation (i.e saved from punishment).
4. No one will be floating to meet Jesus in the air or cloud, it is a taboo. Even, the comin back of Jesus wil nt b descendin frm d sky. It is a misinterpretation and there are contradictions abt this in d bible.
5. Christ himself wil die d second death b4 d final Judgement. His coming in d first place is to come and redeem us, and change us for better b4 d final destruction of d earth 4 Judgemnt Day.
6. If d wicked were to b punished, cut off frm the earth both wt satan nd the demons. D question is wher wld they go or whr wld they be? Howeva, is d punishmnt of d wicked nt referrin to them enterin d Hell Fire? While d righteous are in heaven i.e state of peace and enjoymnt.
7. D new earth formed is d new law or d new abode for every soul.
8. Dwellin there foreva is wt God being happy wt us and we bein happy wt him. Jesus is nt d King of Foreva but God the Father, the Supreme, the Master of the whole Universe, THE FIRST AND THE LAST. That people called ALLAH, CHINEKE, OLODUMARE, ASEDA, GOD, SHEN, SHIN etc
We need to know what the bible teaches about all this christendon chorches. Get this Book from any of jehovah’s withnesses ”What does the bible realy teache” they are always ready too have free bible stordy with you.
the new Heaven is when heavev rest concerning the saints where Angels will no longer be sent an errand on battles, when no one will acuse the saints before God as Devil is doing at present, when Angels in Heaven and saint on earth will sing for joy in Peace and Righteousness, When Christ will be all-in-all. But for now, the saints who transit now will stay in paradise in Heaven. Take note as well that HEAVEN(s) has some other spiritual meaning to it. God Bless!
