Kansas - Nobody's Home
[video=youtube;ZAEyvuNw_XQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAEyvuNw_XQ[/video]
It's empty now, no friendly face and nothing lives within
I look around and I find no trace to tell me what has been
So far I've come to find there's no one here, no life I fear
I came for nothing, they have gone
And Nobody's Home
I came to learn perhaps to teach but I can tell somehow
The world that I was sent to reach has got no future now
Across the galaxy to spread the word and no one heard
I came for nothing I'm alone and Nobody's Home
A requiem was never sung
No elegy was read
No monument was carved in stone in memory of the dead
For those who made this place do not remain they feel no pain
A stranger fate was never known
Isaiah 65:17
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.
2 Peter 3
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Purpose of This Letter
3 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, [SUP]2 [/SUP]that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior
spoken by your apostles.
The Coming Day of the Lord
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with
their mocking, following after their own lusts, [SUP]4 [/SUP]and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For
ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” [SUP]5 [/SUP]For [SUP][
a][/SUP]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, [SUP]6 [/SUP]through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. [SUP]7 [/SUP]But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]But do not let this one
fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. [SUP]9 [/SUP]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.
A New Heaven and Earth
[SUP]10 [/SUP]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 [SUP][
b][/SUP]its works will be [SUP][
c][/SUP]burned up.
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, [SUP]12 [/SUP]looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! [SUP]13 [/SUP]But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP]Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, [SUP]15 [/SUP]and regard the patience of our Lord
as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, [SUP]16 [/SUP]as also in all
his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as
they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. [SUP]17 [/SUP]You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, [SUP]18 [/SUP]but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him
be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
