The Word teaches that this earth which has been polluted by sin, and the existing heavens, will be destroyed by fire after the White Throne Judgment. Then God will create a new heaven and a new earth in which the righteous will dwell. The new heaven and the new earth will surpass anything which man is capable of describing. Pain, sorrow, tears, crying, and even death will forever be abolished in this place where the redeemed will dwell with God forever. The new heaven and earth will never pass away.

Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; Matthew 24:35; 2 Peter 3:12,13; Revelation 21:1-3
