New Heavens and New Earth

(1/13) > >>

Rick Longva:
Did Ray believe that the Earth and the heavens are going to be destroyed (obliterated), and a new Earth and Heavens will be created. I can't seem to find anywhere where this is written about. Thanks

Wanda:
Hi Rick, I could find nothing where Ray spicifically taught on this subject, maybe in an email, but I didn't have time to search through the many of those.

If you are seeing this somewhere in scripture, and  are understanding it to be literal, thats because  spiritual principles are being laid out in physical terms, as so much of scripture is. If Ray had taught on this subject, I feel confident he would have taught this from a spiritual perspective, because that would be the only scriptural truth.

Ray taught plenty  on the spiritual things of God. In fact he said, " First the physical then the spiritual". In his paper  Foundation Truths. Maybe this will shed some light on this for you.

Jesus said, “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26).

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.” (John 16:13)

Rick Longva:
I don't believe it will be obliterated and a new Earth and heavens created. I was just wondering if Ray, or anyone here had any thoughts about that. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Rick. It appears to me that this is a problematic issue with regard to those who believe in universal reconciliation. I personally believe that all life on earth will be destroyed at the end of this, current age. Jesus said that it will be just as in the days of Noah, and Peter makes it quite clear that destruction by fire will ensue in this coming judgement. I understand that many things need to be understood in spiritual terms rather than literal but, while I firmly believe that all will ultimately be happily reconciled to God, I read this end time event as destruction by some form of literal fire.
