John says concerning the wicked, "... fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them." John 20:9. As a result of this fire, the present heaven and earth passed away. John continues, "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them," Revelation 20:11. This fire will destroy both the wicked and the present heaven and earth. Science tells us that when any material is subjected to enough heat, it changes to vapor. Malachi bears a similar testimony, "... behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven ... " Malachi 4:1. The apostle Peter referring to this time says, "... 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 ... all these things shall be dissolved ..." 2Peter 3:10, 11. After this God will create a new heaven and a new earth as John attests, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea," Revelation 21:1.
