Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look down upon the earth: for the heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will decay like a garment, and its inhabitants will also die out; but My salvation will endure forever, and My Truth will not fail.
Prophecy and Thermodynamics
Three different places in the Bible (Isaiah 51:6; Psalm 101:26-27 and Hebrews 1:11) indicate that the earth will continue to deteriorate. This is what the second law of thermodynamics (the law of increasing entropy) says, that all physical processes, all ordered systems tend to become more disordered over time.
Everything wears out and deteriorates so that energy becomes more and more limited. This means that the universe will degrade to the point where “heat death” will occur and therefore there will be no more energy available to use. This has only recently been discovered by science, but the Bible is so clear about it. And we, watching this, understand that this is also a Sign of the End Times!
The end result will be:
“The day of the Lord will come, like a thief in the night, and then the heavens will pass away with a noise, the elements, having flared up, will be destroyed, the earth and all the works on it will burn.”
2 Pet. 3:10
