Ronda Hafley ""Yes." Death is no more. Men no longer perish, as they did in the first Adam. In Christ, death was swallowed up with Life. (HOW IS DEATH SWALLOWED UP WITH LIFE IN CHRIST IF IT IS NO MORE?)
Since the "judgment" occurred in 70AD, and Tartarus was holding rebellious angels til that time, its sensible to assume it no longer exists.
I tend to believe that the earth will continue on "to times indefinite"; the scriptures never were written regarding the destruction of the earth, but all references were to the destruction of the wicked "world" (NOT TO THE WICKED WORLD THAT EXISTS TODAY, THE PRE-70AD WICKED WORLD) --such as the flood in Noah's day--and the judgment in 70AD that destroyed that "world"--not the literal earth. As to whether it will remain forever, nobody can say. But we can say with certainty that the earth itself isn't going to be destroyed (WHAT? NOBODY CAN SAY, BUT WE SAY, LOL) --not by God's decree and certainly not by allowing mankind to do it. "
