So, why am I telling you this? Well, because it comes up in the book of Hebrews. The writer recalls a passage from Psalm 102, where the Israelites acknowledged that just as clothes wear out, so the world will also wear out and come to an end.
"You, Master, started it all, laid earth’s foundations,
then crafted the stars in the sky.
Earth and sky will wear out, but not you;
they become threadbare like an old coat;
You’ll fold them up like a worn-out cloak,
and lay them away on the shelf.
But you’ll stay the same, year after year;
you’ll never fade, you’ll never wear out." - Hebrews 1:12 (Message)
then crafted the stars in the sky.

they become threadbare like an old coat;
You’ll fold them up like a worn-out cloak,
and lay them away on the shelf.

you’ll never fade, you’ll never wear out." - Hebrews 1:12 (Message)
The Good News in this verse lies in the final words, where we are reminded that even though things fade away, Jesus Christ stays the same forever - He will never end.
"You will roll them up like a robe (coat);
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same, and your years will never end." - Hebrews 1:12
