God’s word tells us the world is made of things unseen, which describes the atom and it’s components. The interesting thing about the atom is that it’s nucleus is composed of like-charged particles, and orbiting that are more like charged particles. The laws of science dictate that like charges repel each other, indicating the whole dang thing should just naturally come apart. But God says that all things are held together by Him [1]. The Lord spoke this creation into existence, putting it together by His very Word (note the similarity of word/world). We are told that at the end of its existence, the elements will melt with fervent heat [2]. Consider what happens when an atom is split - it creates intense heat as the element is ripped out of existence. Could it be possible that when God speaks this creation out of existence, the resulting nuclear meltdown of all matter that now exists as our earth and heavens will create the lake of fire? Would it seem fitting that those who love this world more than Him would be given it, in its natural state apart from Him?
