The Coming New Earth

I want to explore with you the coming new Earth, which is spoken of in the Old and New Testament and why there will be a new Earth. It is actually in the book of Revelation that we find the most informative description of the new Earth. The book of Revelation describes a new Earth in which the sea is gone. So, there is land, lakes, and streams; however, the oceans and seas are gone. Further, the book of Revelation describes the new Earth as a world in which there will be no more pain, nor sorrow, and no more tears.
It will be explained why our Lord God decided to make a new Earth instead of just cleaning up the old one in the paragraphs to come. In chapter 21:1 in the book of Revelation and in the New Revised Standard Version it reads as follows, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from there eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.'" This scriptural verse shows the present Earth has passed away to be replaced by a new Earth without seas.
The problem with the present Earth is that it is cursed. What exactly does that mean? It means there has been so much verbal cursing by people all throughout their lives amplified by billions of time over, that it is a hopeless situation to try and remove all of the curses that have been placed on people all around the Earth, and in many instances, on inanimate objects as well. Our Lord God cannot just make all of those curses go away, since that would infringe on each persons free-will that spoke each curse verbally according to their will. Perhaps a rock was cursed when we stumped our toe on it. All of these curses do not just go away, since they are real things as thoughts are real things, and they do not just go away. In fact, a curse creates a link between us and the object, animal, or a person we may curse. If we would simply forgive them and walk away, we and they, would be so much better off.
You see, demons and Satan love to hear people curse one another due to cursing being an evil act. If we tell someone we wish them ill or perhaps death, demons try to bring about what was stated behind our verbal assault into actuality which then makes us responsible for what may happen to the one we curse. Perhaps our curse came about only due to irritation; still, it amounts to evil being directed at someone who irritated us, for whatever reason.
Perhaps a stubborn donkey or mule we curse has a bad accident and it will be our fault since demons will attempt to make our curse a reality. So, you see, even largely innocent animals can become a victim of our curse since Satan will try to make sure our curse is carried out, because Satan will use every opportunity presented to him to do harm to people, animals or possessions. Even if you curse someone in your mind and never verbalize it demons can still hear our curse and so will attempt to make said curse a reality. This makes us responsible for the ill that our curse will bring to that person, to that animal, or to the rock we stump our toe on. This means we have actually taken part in hurting someone very much, or perhaps not so much. Still, once that person is hurt physically, or emotionally, or mentally, we are held responsible for what has happened to that person, or animal, or thing.
Curses can work both ways as well. For instance, if we take advantage of someone else, and later feel bad enough concerning what we have spoken to said person to the point that we end up cursing ourselves for what we said, then the demons will make doubly sure we feel the full brunt of our curse on ourselves. So, be very careful what you think, act, and speak concerning our fellow humans.
As you have read, an "attempt" is made by the demons to carry out the curses we have spoken. The word attempt is just that, an attempt which can fail if the person who was cursed is prayed for by someone else who asks our Father in heaven to protect said person even though the one doing the prayer is unaware a curse has been placed on the one they are praying for. Therefore, pray for others even if they are complete strangers, to be protected from Satan and his demons and you can change the out come of a persons life for the better.
Let us return to the point I was making earlier. Just think how much cursing has gone on in this world over the millions of years humans have lived here, and how it has complicated matters between people, between groups of people such as sports teams, between States, and even between Nations. And, we can probably add many other examples of major cursing, such as war and politics. Now, think of all that cursing! Curses can even carry over from one lifetime to the next. It is that bad. How would we ever work it all out, knowing the demons of Satan are having a grand time trying to hurt everyone they can, by doing exactly as the one who initiated the curse threatened to do harm to said person? We cannot clear up our curses unless everyone stopped cursing and we then prayed to our Father in heaven that our curses would not be fulfilled.
Anyway, this is why the Holy Scripture tells us the world is cursed. It is actually cursed by all of those millions who have lived here and this is why the Earth cannot be saved. Even our our Lord God cannot save Earth. The cursing has gone on for such a long time, that it cannot be straightened out unless all human existence upon this Earth is eliminated. So, our Lord God will allow this world to go on until judgment day and then he will rapture his followers and the rest will have to suffer through the times that try human souls. Then one day, they will all be removed from Earth and Earth will be no more. So, the creation of a new Earth is our Lord God's option so that one day He can bring back all of those who have died in the past and allow them to be reborn on the new Earth and give them yet another chance to accept our Lord Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
However, there is one other option that could resolve this whole issue, and that is we all genuinely forgive one another for what we have done to one another. This is the only way to get out of a curse we have cast upon another; to ask for their forgiveness. Then and only then can the curse be lifted, and then the entire episode can be removed from our Fathers mind. Also, the one who was cursed by us will feel better and we will feel better and our friendship will endure. If only this would happen, this world might be saved from a fate worse than death!
The quote below used by a scholar of the Holy Scripture is from Isaiah 24:6. The scholarly quote reads as follows, The phrase "A Curse Consumes the Earth" encapsulates a profound biblical truth about the consequences of sin and the hope of redemption. It serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance, while also pointing to the enduring hope of God's redemptive plan for creation."
Perhaps the quote from Isaiah 24:6 has been misinterpreted over many centuries since it was first made. Perhaps the phrase " A Curse Consumes the Earth" means exactly what it states. Perhaps all the curses spoken by humans over the millions of years of human existence on Earth has led to the Earth being consumed by curses. Sin brings about its own destruction in time.
We hope you will take this writing to heart and try to never curse again and forgive those who have trespassed against you. Adios for now my friend.
