"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them."
(Revelation 20:11)
Christ's coming in judgment is vividly described. John sees a great white throne. Upon it is seated the Christ (Matt. 25:31; Rev. 14:14). From His face the earth and the heaven flee away. Not the destruction or annihilation but the renovation of the universe is indicated here. It will be a disillusion of the elements with great heat (2 Peter 3:10); a regeneration (Matt. 19:28); a restoration of all things (Acts 3:21); and a deliverance from the bondage of corruption (Rom. 8:21). No longer will this universe be subject to vanity.
(William Hendriksen)
