yes you are correct Gods kingdom and the earth will never be destroyedShaggy Flasko said:If that's the case, then Christ's words were fulfilled.
Is there scriptural support for this?
Was not Babylong the Great Jerusalem herself? Who else is the great city where our Lord was crucified (Revelation 11:8; cf. 17:18, 18:10, 16, 19, 21), and who killed the prophets and the saints (Rev. 16:6, 17:6, 18:20, 24; Cf. Matt. 23:37) and Acts 7:52)?
There is no scripture that points toward a future, apocalyptic destruction of the globe. This idea has been constructed from a misunderstanding of Christ's words and a neglect of audience relevance. Christ and the apostles' statements of the end times always had exclusive significance to their own day. The whole focus was upon Christ's defeat of sin and death through the fulfillment of the whole Law, including God's judgment on the apostate nation.
It's true that false religion will be judged and destroyed, but that wasn't the point of the Biblical end times or the Revelation of Christ. After all, Revelation teaches that wickedness and earthly nations will continue to exist outside the New Jerusalem (the Church).
Revelation 21
24The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
25In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed;
26and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;
27and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22
15Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
I agree that they will never prevail against God's kingdom. However, it will not be in a future apocalypse that they are conquered, because that has already happened. They will simply reside outside the gates of the New Jerusalem until physical death and then come to nought.
The earth, and Christ's kingdom, will not be destroyed.
God bless.

And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite ....Daniel 2;44
Matthew 6:10) Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth
And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant
(Daniel 12:9) And he went on to say: "Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end................... we are in the time of the end now . 1914 was the start of the lastdays,( the last days of man ruling himself independant of God,) Jesus was made king of Gods heavenly goverment in the heavens in 1914 .yes its all happening according to bible chronology and bible prophecy
