Earth Destroyed by Fire

Because of man's changing climate, God will destroy the earth by fire?


Revelation 11:18

I think unbridled capitalism is destroying the world by fire. Energy consumption. God must be taking this all in somewhere!

Humanity needs to find other purposes for living then to constantly use up the earth's resources.

We desperately need clean energy. And a more slower pace to life.

Spiritual wisdom is not in great supply yet it's exactly the thing humans are starving from.

I don't know. It sounds surreal to even think it. Do you mean he'd come from the sky and throw fire to consume the earth (honestly asking?)
God doesn't destroy the earth, mankind does. They destroy the earth that sustains them.

God is not something separated from self; except that in a dualistic, double minded self

James 1:8

FYI, the bible verse you linked doesn’t mention fire...
“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”

Zephaniah 1: 2-3; The LORD said, “I am going to destroy everything on earth, 3all 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."

Nope! The earth is not going to be destroyed, just all physical life forms that remain on the planet after the thousand year Sabbath has ended.

Why bother?
People prefer to imagine gods who bother with us.
All the creating, loving, smiting, & micro-managing.
But global fire seems more likely the result of a
big meteor heading our way....astronomy, not gods.

First of all, that Scripture - Revelation 11:18 - says that God will ‘destroy those that destroy the Earth.’

Not the planet Earth, itself.

Here’s a thread that touches on what fire can mean sometimes, in Scripture....

"New Heavens and New Earth" - Why Destroy the Old?
true but the same book refers to destroying a third of the earth.


revelation 8:7-12

revelation 9:18


fire represents purification just like water
