No, this earth and universe are going to be rebooted as it were, only after evil is dealt with here. That way, nothing of the evil and wickedness in this creation can even remotely touch the one to come.

Revelation 21:1-3 English Standard Version (ESV)
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

This is a good illustration of the danger of not using the bible terminology. Nowhere does the bible ever say that the universe is going to be destroyed or rebooted. Heaven is NOT the universe. Your entire interpretation of the bible is full of your own often erroneous interpretations supported by new terms.

The meek will quite likely be part of the millennial reign of Christ on the earth. There is the Kingdom of Christ and there is the Kingdom of God. Two separate events.

My understanding was that reference to “new” was in the sense of renewing - but I’m always happy to consider an alternative point of view.

There are several references that speak of the destruction of the earth. Did you read those?

I happen to agree with you. These are things of the occult.

You realize every time you read scriptures in any language other than the original everything said was is in different words than the original text. In the beginning God created... take from there.

The very question I was asking you.

Which precisely are the scriptures that you are asking me if I have read in relation to references of earth’s destruction ?
