If "Heaven and Earth shall pass away.."?

Question

whaere do the poeple that have already died and go to heaven go and where do people that are still on earth go and what happens to hell?

Answer 1

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but the Word of God shall endure forever. This current heaven and this current earth shall pass away. They will be immediately replaced by a new heaven and a new earth, and it will happen so quickly that no one will notice. Those in heaven will still be in heaven when this heaven passes away. It's like tearing down your home and rebuilding it. You build a new home at the exact same spot that your old home stood on, but during the time that you are tearing down your old home, you still live at that address. Hell will stay the same. Hell will still be in existence.

Answer 2

Ecclesiastes 9:5 & 6 "for the living know that they will die but the dead don't know anything neither have they any more reward for even their memories are forgotten." Acts 2:34 "for David himself is not ascended into heaven." 1 Thessalonians 4:16 & 17 " For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout and with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of God and the dead inchrist will rise first then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord" Revelation 21:1"Now I (John) saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away..."vs2 Then I (John) saw the Holy city, New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God ...

Answer 3

Revelation speaks of a new heaven established on a new earth. Jesus said "Look I have made all things new" so when it comes time to re-establish his kingdom here it will all be brand new. Some people believe your soul is in a state of unconciousness waiting for the establishment of the new earth and Heaven. I believe that those already with the Lord are going to go with him.

The context of that verse you speak of really is to illustrates that what Jesus say and the words of scripture will endure for all time. It's been well over 2000 years and people still can not disprove the legitamacy of the scriptures and it still applies to us today. Maybe not the coveting neighbors oxen, but to know that be jealous of anyone else possession is sinful. The culture has changed but the hearts and nature of mankind have not.

I have a feeling and this is in no way supported that hell is going to be this earth now just with God's presence removed. Hell is a place of punishment for Satan and his demons, so it's not he's going to be running the joint.

Answer 4

Heaven and Earth shall pass away is figurative language, followed by there will be a NEW heavens and a NEW Earth, also figurative language denoting the end of this current system of things that has been allowed to continue for several thousands of years under the control of Satan and his hordes. Number 2 is that dead people don't go to heaven unless they are specifically called there. The vast majority of people that have died are just that.....DEAD. They are awaiting the resurrection hope that Christ Jesus came here to provide. If you would read your Bible you will find that the Earth is going to be here for ever and ever, and inhabited by perfect HUMANS. Which was the original plan that Almighty God had for us in the beginning.

Answer 5

The Bible speaks of only a small number of 144,000 that go to heaven. They go woth the express purpose of ruling God's already established kingdom with Jesus Christ as appointed king. Everyone else is simply asleep in death, also referred to as Sheol or Hades in the original bible texts. This just means the common grave of mankind- not a literal place. Read the scripture at Genesis 3:19. It clearly states that when men die they will 'return to dust'; there is no mention of a fiery hell. Also at
Ecclesiastes 9:5 we are assured that 'the dead are conscious of nothing at all.' It is just like a deep sleep. So fear not about being tortured for eternity in a burning hell. Is that something a god of love would do? (1 John 4:8) The next time Jehovah's Witnesses come by for a visit let them in and ask them your very serious questions.

Answer 6

Not every1 goes to heaven

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away."

5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

6 He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.

7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Chocolatechip♥Caramel♥Maya,
Judgement. The White Throne Judgement occurs:
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Answer 8

There are three heavens, the immediate heavens and clouds bthat you can see when you look up in the sky, the celestial heavens of space and God's heaven where God dwells. The immediate heavens and the surface of the earth will be cleansed of sin and pass away as we know them. The third heaven (God's heaven), where dwells the souls/spirit of all those who know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior from all their sins, will not be be destroyed. Hell will not be destroyed.
