# Heaven and the earth will pass away
|
|
|
|
The words "heaven" and "earth" are a synecdoche that includes everything that God has created, especially those things that seem permanent. Jesus is saying that his word, unlike these things, is permanent. Alternate translation: "Even heaven and the earth will pass away" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])

Here "words" refers to what Jesus has said. Alternate translation: "what I say will always be true" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
