How will this world end?

Question

The bible says it will be destroyed in fire, as the first was destroyed with a flood.

How does all this destruction fit in with the love and forgivness that Jesus taught.

Answer 1

we'll finish ourselves off because we're stupid like that. not too many people pay attention to what jesus taught, if we did we'd be more selfless and the world would be in better shape for it.

Answer 2

GOD IS NOT GOING TO DESTROY THE EARTH, THE EARTH SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE WILL BECOME A GARDEN OF EDEN OR PARADISE WHERE PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN PEACE & SECURITY.

ARMAGEDDON IS SIMPLY HIS WAR TO CLEAN THE EARTH OF WICKED PEOPLE & ALL BAD THINGS THAT EXIST, & PEOPLE WHOSE WORSHIP IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HIM.

Why, though, would God wage a global war? Armageddon is closely related to one of his cardinal qualities, justice. The Bible declares: “God is a lover of justice.” He has seen all the acts of injustice perpetrated during man’s history. This naturally provokes his righteous displeasure. Thus, he has appointed his Son to wage a just war in order to do away with this entire wicked system.

Only God is capable of waging a truly just and truly selective war during which righthearted individuals, wherever they may be on earth, will be preserved. ) And only he has the right to impose his sovereignty over all the earth, for it is his creation.

What about survivors? Indeed, no one needs to perish at Armageddon. The apostle Peter observed: “God, does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” And the apostle Paul stated that God’s “will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.”

Consider the good Har–Magedon promises to achieve, godly humanity’s peaceful future on this planet, no more pollution, no more war, no more poverty, no more disease or even death. God promises: “Look! I am making all things new.” Revelation 21:3,4

The one's living in a Paradise Earth will be the survivors of Armageddon, and the one's that will be resurrected & obey the rules that are layed out by Jesus Christ.

In Bible times the most thorough means of destruction in use was fire. (Jos 6:24; De 13:16) Hence Jesus at times used the term “fire” in an illustrative way to denote the complete destruction of the wicked. (Mt 13:40-42, 49, 50; compare Isa 66:24; Mt 25:41.)

Peter wrote that “the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire.” From the context and in the light of other scriptures, it is evident that this is not a literal fire but signifies everlasting destruction. As the Flood of Noah’s day did not destroy the literal heavens and earth, but only the ungodly persons, so also the revelation of Jesus Christ with his powerful angels in a flaming fire will result in permanent destruction only for the ungodly and the wicked system of things of which they are a part.

Further examples of the use of fire to represent eternal destruction are found in Revelation and Ezekiel. There we are told that “the ten horns” and “the wild beast” will turn upon Babylon the Great and burn her with fire. (Re 17:16, 17) The attack of Gog and his hordes against God’s people arouses Jehovah’s anger, and fire and sulfur will rain down upon them. The remaining war implements of the attackers will be used to light fires for seven years. (Eze 38:19, 22; 39:6, 9, 10) Those nations who become rebellious when Satan is released at the end of the Thousand Year Reign of Christ will be devoured by fire, and the Devil and all those not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire, representing the second death.

Answer 3

the fire of holy war....
either that or the andromeda galaxy will collide with our galaxy, combining both of the supermassive black holes in the centers, and destroying life as we know it. this should happen in around a couple billion years so i think life might end do to something else before then, but if nothing else does, that will.

Answer 4

God will remove His elect who chose Him instead of the world, leaving only the wicked to be destroyed.

This fits perfectly with love and forgiveness -
* He offered every soul the same chance to be saved...
* He loved and forgave those who sincerely accepted Him....
* He removed evil from the good...
* He rewarded each soul according to their own choices....

Answer 5

In God's word it says God's spirit will not always strive with man. God will run out of patients and pour his wrath out on this evil cruel world one day and that time is closer than you think. Have you asked Jesus in your heart? The time is now for salvation NOW! Not tomorrow.

Answer 10

since you've already answered your own first question, then allow me to answer the latter:

it fits in perfectly - God made all of creation and He can do whatever He wants with it. And He doesn't even have to ask YOU for permission nor does He care about your dissatisfaction.

so get over it
