Earth to be Resurrected, Celestialized & Redeemed
Doctrines of Salvation 1:88; “CELESTIAL DESTINY OF THE EARTH. At the end of the world the earth will die; it will be dissolved, pass away, and then it will be renewed, or raised with a resurrection. It will receive its resurrection to become a celestial body, so that they of the celestial order may possess it forever and ever. Then it will shine forth as the sun and take its place among the worlds that are redeemed… EARTH TO BE A CELESTIAL SUN. It is my opinion that the great stars that we see, including our sun, are celestial worlds; at least worlds that have passed on to their exaltation or other final resurrected status.” – Joseph Fielding Smith
2 Peter 3:10-13; “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. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
Nowhere in the Bible does it say the earth will become a celestialized sun! Peter’s pretty clear in this description of what will take place and he didn’t mention anything about the earth being resurrected (good grief) or that it’ll be exalted with other earths.
It makes me wonder if these people were taking hallucinogenic drugs. My goodness.
The Bible tells us at the end God will determine the time that Jesus will come and rein for 1,000 years – Luke 1:22-23.
Satan will then be released, defeated and cast into the lake of fire – Revelation 20:7-10.
Those who follow the real Jesus will have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life – Rev. 13:8.
After Satan is defeated and the earth destroyed, God will make a new heaven and earth – Rev 21:1 – and that’s where those who are saved will live!
