Psalms 37:29(KJV)29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever
Ecclesiastes 1:4(KJV) 4 One generation passeth away , and another generation cometh : but the earth abideth for ever.
Isaiah 25:8(KJV)8 He will swallow updeath in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe awaytears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah 45:18(KJV)18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited : I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Matthew 5:5(KJV) 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 6:10(KJV) 10Thy kingdom come . Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
There will be seven years of evil on the earth, but 3 1/2 years will be alloted for the 144,000 evangeslists to gather in as many as possible. They will all be raptured in mid-tribulation just before the antichrist reveals himself and tries to totally destroy all Jews and Christians and anyone who refuses to receive the mark of the beast. The world will be in a much worse situation with the sin being far worse, and the antichrist being terribly destruction and scaring everyone. He will be the incarnation of the devil. God will send plagues on the earth to punish the rebellious before the end, and there will be more earthquakes and disasters of all kinds. The last earthquake will shake the entire earth and get the earth off it's axis.
Jesus followers will go to Heaven with Jesus while the others stay here (lifeless - dead) until Jesus comes the 3rd time to cleanse this earth (this time by fire - not by flood like in the days of Noah). and then create a new earth here (just like He wanted it to be - like the Garden of Eden - the original design).
