Apollumi - Perish Death leads to Life God's Judgement – Punitive or Restorative?Restoration of all things – Apokatastasis

In Heb 1:11,12, quoted from Psa 102, we read concerning the heavens and the earth as compared with the eternity of God, "they shall perish" (apolountai). Then in verse 12 "They will also be changed..." But the perishing is only preparatory to change and renewal.

Destruction is the prerequisite for subsequent change. He kills and makes alive. He destroys to make new.
