things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few
days, or an old man who does not live out his years; he who

age”—will end the present climactic conditions and begin a
renewed heaven and a renewed earth. It is only logical that
when one condition ends, another condition begins.
END OF PRESENT PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
End Harsh Atmospheric Conditions
For this new beginning to take place, this author believes
there will be a physical reversal of events that happened at No-

oceans were formed as the great deep burst forth and the rains
descended. In the coming end, these movements will be re-
versed—water will evaporate, mountains will sink, valleys will
fill, and fountains will again be created in the process. When
the earth’s waters evaporate,
“the waters above the firmament”
(Gen 1:7) will be re-established. In essence, this will create a
canopy of water vapor throughout the upper atmosphere. This
canopy will once again produce the earth-wide greenhouse ef-

will capture harmful cosmic radiation, producing a pleasant,
warm climate, and evenly heated surfaces on the earth from
pole to pole. Such an environment will eliminate all of earth’s
