Outer Court of Sanctuary: Baptism of the Earth Twice

In the Outer Court of the Sanctuary (representing JUSTIFICATION -in other words Purification) was the Brazen Laver of Water and the Altar of Burnt Sacrifice.
To Purify the Earth God Baptized it once by water and will again by Fire.....just like in the Outer Court.

I. By Water: Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. . . .

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened......when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. Genesis 6:5, 11–12/1 Peter 3:20

II. By Fire: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great

noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
--because they have transgressed the laws,
--changed the ordinance,
--broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned....
2 Peter 3:10/Jeremiah 4:23/Isaiah 24:5,6
