As usual, more meaningless Bible quotes with no explanations. If you're going to quote scripture, at least tell us why and what it represents in this discussion.
It is because most of the time I do not have a proper internet connection and have to type my posts by cursor and onscreen keyboard... as for my previous post you commented on try reading them in order and find the linking common theme to each verse in relation to the prior verse and next verse in the chain.
Well read these they are perfect examples of apocalyptic language:
Isaiah 19:1-4 describes Yahweh riding on a cloud into Egypt the world shakes and the idols melt yet what does in say in verse 4 Egypt will be conquered and given over to a cruel and fierce king of Babylon?
Isaiah 24:17-23 describes the destruction of the earth especially in verse 19 and yet look at verse 23, Jerusalem and Mount Zion are still standing?
Ezekiel 32:7-11 describes the universal dissolution yet how does it conclude with verse 11 Egypt is conquered by Babylon?
Micah 1:1-7 describes the judgment on Samaria via the Assyrians in the 8th century BC yet it also describes mountains melting and cleft into valleys in verses verses 3-4 for the sins and transgressions of Jacob?
Joel 1:1-17 describes the dissolution of the universe in verses 2-3 and verse 10 but simultaneously it describes an invasion of foreign armies in verses 4-9 and verse 11?
Please properly read apocalyptic language from the Old Testament and it will interpret the apocalyptic language of the New Testament as found in Revelation and the Olivet Discourse.
What about Psalms 18, David describes all these natural disasters like mountains and hills being shaken and moved, hail stones and coals of fire, floods and seas moved as God rides his cherubs while smoke issues from his nostrils and he breathes fire, but what is the subject of Psalms 18? God delivered David from Saul. Did these things truly transpire while David was delivered from Saul?
If you read Isaiah 65 and 66, you will notice that, before God creates the new heavens and a new earth, God predicted that Israel would fill the measure of her sin (65:7); he would destroy them (65:8-15; 66:3-6,15-18,24); create a new people with a new name (65:15-16); then create a new heaven and earth with a new Jerusalem (65:17-19). When God created the new heavens and earth, notice that physical death will remain (Isa. 65:20, 66:24), home construction and agriculture will continue (Isa. 65:21-22), we will have descendants (Isa. 65:23, 66:22), the Lord will hear their prayers (Isa. 65:24), there will still be sin (Isa. 65:20, Mat.12:32, Rev.22:15 ), and it is depicted as a time of evangelism when the Jew and Gentile will be brought together under the banner of God (66:19). The new heavens and earth, therefore, cannot be referring to the eternal state; it must be referring to a period in man's history. This is the period of the Kingdom of God which Christ rules in the hearts of the believers. The Kingdom of God is made without hands (spiritual - Dan. 2:34, 44-45; c.f. Col. 2:10-11). If we take the statements from the scriptures at face value, then we should conclude that the first heavens and the first earth passed away and was replaced by the glorious reign of the Lord Jesus Christ, the kingdom without end. Notice that in this New Heaven and Earth, righteousness dwells, as it does in the New Covenant (2 Corinthians 3:9).
