Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.

“ Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.”

And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

“ Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into.

Look up to the skies above, and gaze down on the earth below. For the skies will disappear like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a piece of clothing. The people of the earth will die like flies, but my salvation lasts forever. My righteous rule will never end!

And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide.

“ So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into.

Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief.

They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them.

looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames.

The heavens above will melt away and disappear like a rolled up scroll. The stars will fall from the sky like withered leaves from a grapevine, or shriveled figs from a fig tree.

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, touches the land and it melts, and all its people mourn. The ground rises like the Nile River at floodtime, and then it sinks again.

“ Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives.

Then you must throw this man out and hand him over to Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved on the day the Lord returns.

The earth has broken up. It has utterly collapsed; it is violently shaken.

“ The time will come,” says the Lord,“ when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine!

The day of the Lord is near, the day when destruction comes from the Almighty. How terrible that day will be!

The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.

Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision. There the day of the Lord will soon arrive.

For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning. He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted.
