And the bottomless pit of Rev. 20:1-3?? Of course I believe that the 1000 years finds the earth desolate of even its heavens! 2 Peter 3:9-10 is very clear on that?? And Jeremiah 4:23-27 tells us the same thing! (at least me) At the presence of the Lord in verse 26's time frame. It does seem that with NO heaven, and a earth without form, AND VOID, with NO LIGHT & NO MAN, that these ones in verse 27 are somewhere else, huh? Anyway back to this VOID & EMPTY EARTH WITH NO HEAVENS & NO LIGHT!
What is there still here??? Well, lets see the history for the Sacred Word of Inspiration of this. Eccl. 1:9-10 & Eccl. 3:15, if one really believes the Word of God, that is??? (those are real questions!)
OK: Gen. 1:1 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; (sounds like the above to me!) and darkness was upon the [face of the deep].
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.' And yet it was still named earth in all of these texts? Even verse 2? And verse 6, 'let there be firmament in the [midst of the waters] ? 'And let it [divide the waters from the waters]." And verse 7 might also established what the earth was like before it was created, and where the devil was cast down to &, will again be 'chained in this bottomless pit, again, for the 1000 year period before the wicked have their resurrection to die the second death, along with satan and his evil angels!
Rev. 20:1-3 & then verse 7 with chapter 21 finds .. 'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away ...' And what was it God DOCUMENTED in the Eccl.'s chapters??
