The Earth Will Last Forever

And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the
earth which He has established forever. (Psalm 78:69)

His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me; It shall be established forever like the moon, Even like the faithful witness in the sky.�
(Psalms 89:36-37)
        
The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The LORD is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength.
Surely the world is established, so that it
cannot be moved
.(Psalm 93:1)

Say among the nations, �The LORD reigns; The
world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.�(Psalm 96:10)

You who laid the
foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever,(Psalm 104:5)

Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it abides.(Psalm 119:90)

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout
all generations.(Psalm 145:13)
        
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created. He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away.(Psalm 148:4-6)     

One generation passes away, and another generation
comes;
But the earth abides forever.(Ecclesiastes 1:4)
     
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and
justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:7)

And He will reign over the house of Jacob
forever,
and of His kingdom there will be no end.� (Luke 1:33)

to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to
all generations, forever and ever. Amen.(Ephesians 3:21)

But someone will say, "What about 2 Peter 3? Doesn't that teach that the world will burn up in fire?" That is a good question. The "elements" in 2 Peter 3 are referring to the elementary priciples of the Old Covenant. They were about to be destroyed when the Temple was destroyed on 70 A.D (see
Elements In 2 Peter 3). The "Old Heavens and Old Earth"  denotes the Old Covenant and the "New Heavens and New Earth" denotes the New Covenant.. For an in depth study of 2 Peter 3 read Don Preston's book The Elements Shall Melt with Fervent Heat available at Apologia Book Shoppe.
