“Looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, wherein the heaven being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” Commentary: A new heaven and earth no longer tainted by sin! Is this a description of a nuclear war? Man destroying himself? Why do we need a new heaven? Where was the first sin done? In the Garden of Eden? No! In heaven is where war first sin started against God! The sin of pride! Lucifer and his rebellion against God! He was then cast down to the earth with 1/3rd of the angels that followed him in his rebellion! Heaven was tainted by sin just like the earth is today! God is a consuming fire! One side of the coin is mercy and the other side is judgment! This is a coin flip you do not want to make! Jesus is the head and not the tail! He promised never to leave nor forsake those who put their trust in him! I want to be part of the new heaven and the new earth so just trust the God who has given us all things! Fire provides light! Jesus is the light of the world! Something or someone has to be consumed to produce light for us to see the Savior! Jesus consumed our sin on a Cross so we might see the light of the world! God is light and in him is no darkness! The world hates the light because he exposes their sin! Do not play with fire for you will get burned! If Jesus is with you then you can walk through the fiery furnace and not be harmed! Without him the fires of hell will consume you! James & Hamsa Sasse. WhoisGod.in
