But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3:13)
FROM CORNER TO CORNER and from the fold to fold, spanning the vast reaches of the galaxy, our heavenly Father knew us before he created the heavens and the earth; all by way of His eternal foreknowledge. The Universe, indescribably vast and timeless, is uninhabitable except by extreme means. Except for one unique planet orbiting at a corner of the milky way. A planet made perfectly suited for Elohim’s loved ones. Earth.
And yet, not surprisingly, without letup, a great deal of humanity’s focus has been upon all that is unholy. The pure is made to appear insane; the despicable beautiful; the true, untrue. Carried out by the disillusioned or malevolent, it is first plotted and planned by Jehovah’s nemesis, Satan.
The prince of darkness has spent ages honing his skill at distracting mankind from the glory of the God of creation. A magician, Satan foments his ongoing nefarious phantasms. From Cain and Nimrod to Hitler and Stalin—the great deceiver enslaves as many as he can to the misery he creates. Pushing them away from the glorious victory awaiting those that love God and His most precious son, Jesus Christ. Away from a promise made. Where God and his trustworthy alliance of angels and saints, will, with finality, utterly destroy satan and his horde of fallen angels, along with all of the destructive evil spirits that inhabit this dimension.
The choice given to all men, to align as they see fit, is part and parcel of free will. Free will requires choice. Rest assured; one event is forthcoming: The glorious state of redeemed humanity.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
Gratitude to the Creator!
Anthony Barbera
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[ That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. 2 (Peter 3:10-13 NIV)
