I am in awe at some of the things God has shown me in His word. The more I learn of the things in it, the more overwhelmed I become at the complexity of it.

I very much share in that awe with you. No other place in this world can we find so much enlightenment. And it saddens me dearly to see so many read the Bible without ever seeing that. Yet I know that unless their blindness is truly caused of a wicked heart, reading it always sets at work small seeds of truth within them, which if they do not become forgetful hearers of, will eventually sprout to even more life in them.

Part One:

I am going to step out a bit further than I am usually comfortable with doing so that I can explain what I have seen the scriptures to speak, concerning what this thread has been discussing.

All of should know that God cannot ever be thwarted out of achieving His goals or purposes. If God says it, there ought to be absolutely know doubt that it will come to be exactly as he said it would. And we see at places like as Isaiah chapter 46 that this is because he speaks it and he also makes it happen despite any rebellious force that may oppose Him.

Isaiah 46:8 "Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors{in other words you who oppose me}.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness{again, those who oppose Him}:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."

Part Two:

In view of what was said in part one, all we need do is search to find what God's original purpose was for both man and this earth, for we know from Isa. 46 that there is no way he will ever fail to achieve those purposes.

So ask yourselves: Where in the scriptures do we ever find that it was God's purpose fro this earth to become uninhabited?

The answer is Given us by God himself: Psalms 2:8 "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."

Psalms 78:69 "And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever."

Psalms 104:1, 5, 30 "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. ...... Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. .......... Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth."

Psalms 115:16 "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men."

Genesis 1:27-28 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Psalms 119:90 "Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth."

Proverbs 3:19 "The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens."

Proverbs 10:30 "The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth."

Ecclesiastes 1:4 "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever."

Isaiah 45:18 "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else."


What is God's purpose for this earth gentleman? What is God's purpose for man?

When the Bible speaks of that new earth it is referring to the same as David here spoke: Psalms 104:1, 5, 30 "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. ...... Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. .......... Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth."
