As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat; winter and summer, day and night.

*****

... and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.

*****

Tell the heavens and the earth to start singing! Tell the mountains and every tree in the forest to join in the song! The LORD has rescued his people; now they will worship him.

*****

Tell the heavens and the earth to celebrate and sing; command every mountain to join in the song. The LORD's people have suffered, but he has shown mercy and given them comfort.

*****

When you are set free, you will celebrate and travel home in peace. Mountains and hills will sing as you pass by, and trees will clap.

*****

I am creating new heavens and a new earth; everything of the past will be forgotten.

*****

The LORD said: Heaven is my throne; the earth is my footstool. What kind of house could you build for me? In what place will I rest?

*****

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

*****

God blesses those people who are humble. The earth will belong to them!

*****

You are like salt for everyone on earth. But if salt no longer tastes like salt, how can it make food salty? All it is good for is to be thrown out and walked on.

*****

Heaven and earth may disappear. But I promise you that not even a period or comma will ever disappear from the Law. Everything written in it must happen.

*****

The earth is God's footstool, so don't swear by the earth. Jerusalem is the city of the great king, so don't swear by it.

*****

... your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

*****

Don't store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them.

*****

"...But I will show you that the Son of Man has the right to forgive sins here on earth." So Jesus said to the man, "Get up! Pick up your mat and go on home."

*****

He (Jonah) was in the stomach of a big fish for three days and nights, just as the Son of Man will be deep in the earth for three days and nights.

*****

I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth. But he will not allow anything that you don't allow.

*****

I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

*****

Don't call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven.

*****

Then a sign will appear in the sky. And there will be the Son of Man. All nations on earth will weep when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

*****

The sky and the earth won't last forever, but my words will.

*****

At once the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, and rocks split apart.

*****

Jesus came to them and said: I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth!

*****

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.

*****

If you don't believe when I talk to you about things on earth, how can you possibly believe if I talk to you about things in heaven?

*****

God's Son comes from heaven and is above all others. Everyone who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all others.

*****

But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.

*****

I have brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you gave me to do.

*****

"...But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world."

*****

I will work miracles in the sky above and wonders on the earth below. There will be blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

*****

You are really the ones God told his prophets to speak to. And you were given the promise that God made to your ancestors. He said to Abraham, "All nations on earth will be blessed because of someone from your family."

*****

Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? In what place will I rest?

*****

He saw heaven open, and something came down like a huge sheet held up by its four corners.

*****

The Lord has given us this command, "I have placed you here as a light for the Gentiles. You are to take the saving power of God to people everywhere on earth."

*****

This God made the world and everything in it. He is Lord of heaven and earth, and he doesn't live in temples built by human hands.

*****

when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

*****

The Scriptures say, "The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord."

*****

Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others.

*****

The first man was made from the dust of the earth, but the second man came from heaven. Everyone on earth has a body like the body of the one who was made from the dust of the earth. And everyone in heaven has a body like the body of the one who came from heaven. Just as we are like the one who was made out of earth, we will be like the one who came from heaven.

*****

Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever.

*****

Then when the time is right, God will do all that he has planned, and Christ will bring together everything in heaven and on earth.

*****

All beings in heaven and on earth receive their life from him.

*****

When it says, "he went up," it means that Christ had been deep in the earth.

*****

... and you will have a long and happy life.

*****

So at the name of Jesus everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.

*****

Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

*****

Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces and powers, and all rulers and authorities. All things were created by God's Son, and everything was made for him.

*****

And God was pleased for him to make peace by sacrificing his blood on the cross, so that all beings in heaven and on earth would be brought back to God.

*****

Think about what is up there, not about what is here on earth.

*****

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

*****

The Scriptures also say, "In the beginning, Lord, you were the one who laid the foundation of the earth and created the heavens..."

*****

During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

*****

Every one of those people died. But they still had faith, even though they had not received what they had been promised. They were glad just to see these things from far away, and they agreed that they were only strangers and foreigners on this earth.

*****

When God spoke the first time, his voice shook only the earth. This time he has promised to shake the earth once again, and heaven too.

*****

While here on earth, you have thought only of filling your own stomachs and having a good time. But now you are like fat cattle on their way to be butchered.

*****

Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

*****

They will say this because they want to forget that long ago the heavens and the earth were made at God's command. The earth came out of water and was made from water.

*****

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

*****

Look! He is coming with the clouds. Everyone will see him, even the ones who stuck a sword through him. All people on earth will weep because of him. Yes, it will happen! Amen.

*****

You obeyed my message and endured. So I will protect you from the time of testing that everyone in all the world must go through.

*****

No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or see inside it.

*****

"...You let them become kings and serve God as priests, and they will rule on earth."

*****

Then I heard all beings in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea offer praise. Together, all of them were saying, "Praise, honor, glory, and strength forever and ever to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!"

*****

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King.

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And heav'n and nature sing.

—Isaac Watts. Psalm 98 [1719], st. 1.

*****

The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.

—Henry David Thoreau. Walden [1854], in The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, vol. 2, pp. 340–341, Houghton Mifflin (1906).

Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.

God gives all men all earth to love,

But, since man’s heart is small,

Ordains for each one spot shall prove

Belovèd over all...
