'Heavens' in the Bible

But they deliberately ignore the fact that long ago the heavens existed and the earth was formed by God's word out of water and with water,

Now by that same word, the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire and are being kept for the day when ungodly people will be judged and destroyed.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will disappear with a roaring sound, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done on it will be exposed.

as you look forward to and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved and the elements will melt with fire.

But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.
