Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Heavens and the New Earth
That which forms the greatest obstacle to the admission of this opinion - which may make the expression of it startling to many, is the apparent contradiction which it receives in the express language of Scripture. Thus it is written, A new earth. Of old hast Thou laid the foundations of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea all of them shall wax old like a garment: as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and thev shall be changed; ps. Cii. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment Is. Li. 6. 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. All these things shall be dissolved 2 Pet. Iii. 7 - 11. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
