NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.

The heavens will disappear with a roar;

the elements will be destroyed by fire, and

the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way,

what kind of people ought you to be? You ought

to live holy and godly lives as you look forward

to the day of God and speed its coming. That day

will bring about the destruction of the heavens by

fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in

keeping with His promise we are looking forward to

a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to

this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless

and at peace with Him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s

patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul

also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him.

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them

of these matters. His letters contain some things that are

hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people

distort, as they do to other Scriptures, to their own

destruction.

Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this,

be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by

the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.

But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen!

(II. Peter 3.11-18).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
