The New Covenant - When the Lord Comes Again
"Heaven
and earth will pass away, but My words shall not
pass away. "But of that day and hour no one knows,
not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the
Father alone." Matthew 24:35-36 (NAS)
"Heaven and earth will pass
away, but My words will not pass away. "But of that
day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. "Take
heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when
the appointed time is." Mark 13:31-33 (NAS)
"I have come to cast fire upon
the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!"
Luke 12:49 (NAS)
"Heaven and earth will pass
away, but My words will not pass away." Luke 21:33
(NAS)
"And His voice shook the earth
then, but now He has promised, saying," Yet once
more I will shake not only the earth, but also the
heaven." Hebrews 12:26 (NAS)
"For when they maintain this,
it escapes their notice that by the word of God the
heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed
out of water and by water, through which the world
at that time was destroyed, being flooded with
water. But the present heavens and earth by His word
are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of
judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not
let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that
with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow
about His promise, as some count slowness, but is
patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish
but for all to come to repentance. But the day of
the Lord will come like a thief, in which the
heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements
will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth
and its works will be burned up. Since all these
things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of
people ought you to be in holy conduct and
godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of
the day of God, on account of which the heavens will
be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt
with intense heat! But according to His promise we
are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in
which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:5-13 (NAS)
