Lucretia Mccloud - Many Scientists do believe that based upon mankind's actions, but that thought is not bible-based. For ex. Eccl. 1:4 says: "A generation is going, and a generation is coming, But the earth remains* forever." Matt. 5:5: 5 “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth." Psalm 37:29: "The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it." And finally the promise: "to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” Rev. 11:18. These are just a few scriptures prophesied about the future of the earth. For the God of purpose states in Isaiah 45:18, 22, 23: "For this is what Jehovah says, The Creator of the heavens, the true God, The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else." "Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I am God, and there is no one else. By myself I have sworn; The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, And it will not return: To me every knee will bend, Every tongue will swear loyalty" "For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart. 18 So exult and be joyful forever in what I am creating." Isa. 65:17, 18
Aztlanquill - new heavens & a new earth has cosmic connotations....which might be OTHER worlds.... I mean if you leave things to men...they will destroy every world....look what they have done to Earth in less than 3000 years... ..
Lucretia Mccloud - I do not disagree with the possibility of man, in the future, inhabiting other planets, because the Creator of heavens and earth is only resting. But he will not allow man to destroy his creation, like the owner of a building complex will not destroy his property. He will just remove/evict bad tenants. Psalm 37:37, 28 says: "Take note of the blameless one, And keep the upright one in sight, For the future of that man will be peaceful. But all the transgressors will be destroyed; The future of wicked people will be cut off."
Lucretia Mccloud - Here are some more verses to consider: “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?” (Mark 10:17) With everlasting life imagine what God will do with his creation. After describing some of the Creator's acts Job said at Job 26:14: "Look! These are just the fringes of his ways; Only a faint whisper has been heard of him! So who can understand his mighty thunder?” Stated: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart; yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish." Eccl. 3:11 Jeremiah 32:17 17 “Alas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah! Look! You made the heavens and the earth by your great power+ and by your outstretched arm. Nothing is too wonderful for you,"
