@PoliteMight,
Quote:Will the human race destroy itself?
Not according to the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.
Zephaniah 1: 2-3; The LORD said, “I am going to destroy everything on earth, all human beings and animals, birds and fish. I will bring about the downfall of the wicked. I will destroy the whole human race, and no survivors will be left. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Verse 18; On the day when the LORD shows his fury, not even all their silver and gold will save them. The whole earth will be destroyed by the fire of his anger. He will put an end — a sudden end — to everyone who lives on earth.
After the thousand years rule of Jesus, heavenly fire will destroy all physical life forms on this planet and the heavens and earth as we know them today, will have disappeared and the oceans of the earth will be no more. Revelation 21:1.
Revelation20: 7-10. When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth-Gog and Magog-and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They (And they alone
) will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
But Paul says; “We shall not all fall asleep in death, but at the sound of the last trumpet (Immediately before the heavenly fire incinerates all physical life forms that remain on earth) we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye from bodies of corruptible matter, into glorious bodies of brilliant and blinding light.
Enoch, from an age of man before the flood, was taken bodily up and chosen as the heir and successor to the throne of the MOST HIGH in the creation before being translated from a body of matter into a body of light in order that he should not experience death, and the following is from the Book of Enoch the Prophet 108: 11-13; “And now I will summons the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who, in the flesh were not recompensed with such honour as their faithfulness deserved. And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved my holy name, and I will seat each one on the throne of his honour, And they shall be resplendent for times without number.”
