But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
THESE things shall come to pass at the tribulation judgment time, the last 3 and a half years after the Saints of GOD are taken to heaven and all that remain on earth are unsaved, ungodly people.. GOD will POUR OUT HIS pent up wrath and vengeance upon all those who have rejected HIM and HIS SON Jesus Christ.. It will be a horrible time of destruction and death...
Even so, HE will reach out to anyone who will repent and come to JESUS for Salvation... The earth will be subject to terrible judgment from God... ALL Things shall be done AFTER the thousand year millenial reign. THAT is exactly when GOD will purge the earth with FIRE and clean it and start over again.. A NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH will be created.
