THE END/THE BEGINNING

2 Peter 3: 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The Lord will come as a thief, not that He wants to steal anything from us. But as with a thief we have to be on guard, prepared, ready. I pray that done of you has ever woken to the sound of glass breaking, your reaction, your timing has to be together. The Lord does not let us know the hour or minute when He will come. For that reason we have to be ready at all times.

And the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and everything shall melt with a great heat, that includes the earth and everything that is left here. Burned!

We are foretold in the Old Testament by the prophets of the first and second coming of Christ. Christ told us that He would come again.

Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, it is my people: and they shall say, the LORD is my God.

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Burned just as we must so through the fire to be purified, so shall the earth, as we shall return, so the earth will, it shall be as God intended it to be. As water washed away our sins, so does God put us through the fire. The earth and all shall go through the fire. All the impurities shall be refined as gold.

Science has given us much information that can make it easy to appear that the earth had a big bang, and could have another. “The inner core of the Earth is a primarily solid sphere about 1220 km in radius. It is slightly larger than the Moon and it is warmer than the Sun's outer surface. The inner core is a solid ball of nickel and iron, which has the pressure of the whole earth situated at Earth's center. It is not known why the earth’s core is not, but there are lines of evidence. The changing thickness of the earth's crust indicates a constant cooling, which indicates that the heat was created at the beginning of the earth's formation.”

“It's quite significant that a large number of coral reefs are dying from over-heating. Humans are not causing the oceans to over-heat; it appears to be caused by heat from the earth's core. Galaxies supposedly moved to their present vicinity in a fraction of a second before the laws of physics began.”

“The big bang does the same things God does, except God does it through the laws of physics, and the big bang doesn't. Why didn't the laws of physics begin when matter got half way to its present location? What caused the laws of physics to begin? The whole purpose is to deny the existence of a creator.”

“It is obvious from observations that everything in the universe is about where it always has been, and it doesn't move very much. But physicists cannot explain how it got there. They have a terrible need to justify their atheism by denying that God could have create galaxies and stars where they are, so they synthesize absurdities to prove that it didn't happen. Trying to prove that God did not do what he did is not science, it's corrupt religion. Religion needs to stay out of science. This means that if science cannot determine how the universe got where it is, there is no justification in contriving absurdities such as the Big Bang Theory to explain it.”

That said the Bible says: “in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” The Bible says it, then it will be so. The rest of the story: Read verse 13.

MY NOTES: I have studied how the Bible tells me how to study it and understand its message, rather than inventing my own principles. I have found that people who have other views on prophecy neglect many important Bible Study principles that the Bible teaches. People say, "The Bible is easy to understand and that God wouldn't hide things from us". The Bible says otherwise. (Prov 25:2) People say, "There can only be one meaning in a given passage." The Bible says otherwise. (Galatians 4:24, Hosea 12:10)

The Bible contains "some things hard to be understood" (2 Peter 3:16) And "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing!" (Proverbs 25:2)

The Bible tells you how to understand the Bible: Fear the Lord, Prayer, the Holy Spirit's guidance, diligently seeking, rightly dividing, comparing spiritual with spiritual.

The Bible tells you how to interpret Bible Prophecy: (1) Stories & parallels are prophecies. (2) There are multiple fulfillments and unmentioned time gaps.

God Bless,
