The Lord said to his disciples, "In those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."

Jesus promises that no matter will happen to heaven and earth, that His Words can be counted upon. Yes, the earth someday will be destroyed and yes, the heavens themselves will come to an end (at least that's what scientists say~ stars only burn for so long) yet, even when that happens, the Words of Jesus stand.
Your Words, O Christ, stand forever. May they be upon my heart and mind always and, this day, may I meditate upon Your Holy Sayings. Amen.
