Q&A Home > E > Earth

We know that we need earth now because we live on it, but why do we need a new earth as St. John says the first earth had passed away?

The commentator Adam Clark quotes the saying: "To pretend to say what is meant by this new heaven and new earth, and what are their ornaments and qualities, is in my opinion the greatest of all presumptions. In general these figures of speech point out great alternations in the universe."
