The LORD says, "I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

But the heavens and the earth that now exist are being preserved by the same command of God, in order to be destroyed by fire. They are being kept for the day when godless people will be judged and destroyed.

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sits on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence and were seen no more.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth disappeared, and the sea vanished.

The Sovereign LORD himself defends me--- who, then, can prove me guilty? All my accusers will disappear; they will vanish like moth-eaten cloth.

Look up at the heavens; look at the earth! The heavens will disappear like smoke; the earth will wear out like old clothing, and all its people will die like flies. But the deliverance I bring will last forever; my victory will be final.

they will vanish like moth-eaten clothing! But the deliverance I bring will last forever; my victory will endure for all time."
