2 Peter 3 10-2 Peter 3 13
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godlinessas you wait for the day of God and hasten its coming. Because of that day, the heavens will be dissolved with fire and the elements will melt with heat.But based on his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

Psalms 102:24-28
I say,“ My God, do not take me in the middle of my life! Your years continue through all generations.Long ago you established the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.They will perish, but you will endure; all of them will wear out like clothing. You will change them like a garment, and they will pass away.But you are the same, and your years will never end.Your servants’ children will dwell securely, and their offspring will be established before you.”
