- the earth:
- "I beheldª°¹ the earth,ª and, lo,¹ [it was] without form,ª and void;ª and the heavens,ª and they [had] no¹ light.ª ... For¹ this¹ shall the earthª mourn,ª° and the heavensª aboveª¹ be black:ª° because¹¹ I have spokenª° [it], I have purposedª° [it], and will not¹ repent,ª° neither¹ will I turn backª° from¹ it." {Jer 4:23-28} + "By faithª Noah,ª being warned of Godª° ofª things not²° seen²° as yet,ª¹ moved with fear,ª° preparedª° an arkª to² the savingª¹ of his²¹ house;ª byª the whichª he condemnedª° the¹ world,ª andª becameª° heirª of the¹ righteousnessª which is byª faith.ª" {Hbr 11:7} + "Wherebyªª the¹ worldª that then¹ was,² being overflowedª° with water,ª perished:ª° ... Butª the¹ heavensª andª the¹ earth,ª which are now,ª by the¹ sameª wordª areª° kept in store,ª° reservedª° unto fireª againstª the dayª of judgmentª andª perditionª of ungodlyª men.ª" {2Pe 3:6-7} + "Butª the¹ dayª of the Lordª will comeª° asª a thiefª inª the night;ª inª the whichª the¹ heavensª shall pass awayª° with a great noise,ª andª the elementsª shall meltª° with fervent heat,ª° the earthª alsoª andª the¹ worksª that are thereinªª shall be burned up.ª° ... Looking forª° andª hastingª° unto the¹ comingª of the¹ dayª of God,ª whereinªª the heavensª being on fireª° shall be dissolved,ª° andª the elementsª shall melt²°¹ with fervent heat?²°¹" {2Pe 3:10-12}
