"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved". Romans 8:22-24.
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth". This "world" is evil. Evil prevails because satan is the "god" of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4. The "earth" that the meek will inherit is after Christ's Returns. At that time, the "earth" is "restored" and we reign with Him for a thousand years and later a NEW earth is created and we continue that reign. This is the earth that we inherit.
The earth is the Lords and the fulness thereof". That said, in this "present time", (age), earth is in a corrupted state by man. Both the earth and this present world" are corrupt. The "world" belongs to the devil. Satan is the god of this "world". 2 Corinthians 4:4.
The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof, however, in its present state, the earth suffers corruption and is NOT the earth that the righteous will inherit. Matthew 5:5.
We are in this world not of it" and the earth, planet, and creation will be cleansed during the coming judgment. There is a restoration and newly created earth promised, wherein righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13.
it is the new heaven and earth that the meek inherit. both the "world and the "earth" pass away. John 17:16. the earth that we inherit is in its' full redemptive condition or state AFTER the coming judgment, and "RESTORATION" that will take place here on this planet, (earth).
"this corruptible shall have put on incorruption". Creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 'Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets. But in keeping with God's promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more". Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: Acts 3:21 / Romans 8:30 / 1 Corinthians 15:42 / 2 Peter 3:13 / Revelation 21:1 / 2 Peter 3:13 / Romans 8:19 / Revelation 22:3-5.
There is only one physical second coming, the physical return of Yeshua upon the Mt. of Olives when EVERY eye will see Him.
there is also an "evacuation" prior to the coming global judgment as described by Paul, "the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord" 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
I have concluded that the "caught up in the air" event is not a "physical descent" upon the Mt of Olives, Zechariah 14:4.
The earthquake in Revelation speaks of the event described in Zechariah when the Mount of Olives splits in two. Yeshua will cause an earthquake at His second PHYSICAL coming that will serve as part of the destruction of God’s enemies.
The outcome of this battle is never in doubt: Christ will be the victor, Israel’s enemies will be destroyed, and the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:11-21).
I have pondered both the events of Sodom and the days of Noah as Yeshua equated the exact same "physical relocation" and "protection" of His people during historical destruction caused by His Judgment and His Wrath on ALL of the inhabitants of earth, in both situations.
Logically and biblically when His Wrath destroys evil, the righteous would be destroyed as well unless, as Yeshua said, "it will be exactly like it was in both of those events. there was a physical escape or Believers are doomed to suffer this fiery judgment. Consider, "
“For the great day of HIS wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection"…Revelation 20:5,6.
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
