3. Biblical
prophecy of a "Collapsing Universe"
i.
Isaiah 34:4 - And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and
the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host
shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig
from the fig tree.
(the figurative phrase "rolled together as a scroll"
is a excellent image for the collapse of the Universe. Think of a scroll
stretched out and then snapping back to it's rolled-up form once let go.)
ii.
Isaiah 65:17 - For, behold, I create new
heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come
into mind.
iii.
2 Peter 3:13 - Nevertheless we, according
to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness.
