What does it mean that the earth will not remain forever?

Answered in 1 source

The phrase signifies that there will come a time when God will bring judgment and end the current state of the earth.

The biblical assertion that 'while the earth remaineth' highlights a profound truth about God's plan for creation. 2 Peter 3:10 warns us that the day of the Lord will arrive as a thief in the night, indicating that the present heavens and earth will be transformed and ultimately dissolved. This emphasizes the temporary nature of our current existence, encouraging believers to live in light of eternity and to pursue holiness and godliness. As Christians, this understanding drives us to share the Gospel, awaiting the new heavens and the new earth where righteousness dwells.
