II Peter . 01 02 03 ..... purpose of this letter
Image

03:01 .. this is now .. beloved .. the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder
03:02 .. that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment
.......... of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles

.................. the coming day of the Lord

03:03 .. know this first of all .. that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking .. following after their own lusts
03:04 .. and saying . . . where is the promise of his coming .. for ever since the fathers fell asleep ..
.......... all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation
03:05 .. for when they maintain this .. it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and
.......... the earth was formed out of water and by water
03:06 .. through which the world at that time was destroyed .. being flooded with water
03:07 .. but by his word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire .. kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men
03:08 .. but do not let this one fact escape your notice .. beloved .. that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years ..
.......... and a thousand years like one day
03:09 .. the Lord is not slow about his promise .. as some count slowness .. but is patient toward you ..
.......... not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance

.................. a new Heaven and Earth

03:10 .. but the day of the Lord will come like a thief .. in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements
.......... will be destroyed with intense heat .. and the earth and its works will be burned up

03:11 .. since all these things are to be destroyed in this way .. what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness
03:12 .. looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God .. because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning ..
.......... and the elements will melt with intense heat
03:13 .. but according to his promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth .. in which righteousness dwells

03:14 .. therefore .. beloved .. since you look for these things .. be diligent to be found by him in peace .. spotless and blameless
03:15 .. and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation .. just as also our beloved brother Paul .. according to the wisdom given him .. wrote to you
03:16 .. as also in all his letters .. speaking in them of these things .. in which are some things hard to understand ..
.......... which the untaught and unstable distort .. as they do also the rest of the Scriptures .. to their own destruction
03:17 .. you therefore .. beloved .. knowing this beforehand .. be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men
.......... and fall from your own steadfastness
03:18 .. but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ .. to him be the glory ..
.......... both now and to the day of eternity . . . amen

The general denial that will be made in the last days of the possibility of Christ’s return .. should not unsettle the believer .. but quicken and excite him to a serious minded and firm adhering to what God has revealed in his word .. those who now scoff will find the day of Christ’s coming a day of terrible vengeance . . . [ II Peter 3: 3] men may talk about the stability of natural laws and the foolishness of the doctrine of Christ’s second coming .. but the Christian faith signifies little without it .. It is the finishing stroke which must complete all the great doctrines of the Gospel and is therefore a day for which the Christian is to look [ II Peter 3: 12 ] .. and strive to hasten .. by the bringing in of souls for the completion of the church
