In my view this earth never literally gets burned up. Also per my view, the land remains the same, borders and all, forever, apparently. I'm not one that believes this current earth is totally annihilated and a new one appears in it's place. There will be a new earth alright, so not denying that. But that hardly means where Jerusalem is currently located geographically, as an example, that this will no longer be the case on the new earth. Why wouldn't it be? If man had never fallen, wouldn't everything still be the same anyway, geographically, for forever?
Thats a nice get-a-round.
And what of Jesus' Statement about the Coming of the lord of the Vineyard in Matt 21:40? Past or future?
Was Jesus right about that or not?
And what do you make of this land promise verse:
Joshua 21:43-45
43 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it. 44 The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
Does not your view, in contrast to the scripture above, say "all has not come to pass"?
