What will follow this great conflagration?
Answer
"Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells
righteousness!' Verse 13.
NOTE - As shown in the reading on "The Millenniurn," page 48, at the coming of Christ the
living wicked will die, and the saints will be taken to heaven to dwell with Christ a thousand years, or until
the wicked of all ages are judged, and the time comes for their destruction and the purification of the earth
by the fires of the last day. Following this, the earth will be formed anew, and man, redeemed from sin,
will be restored to his original dominion.
