“looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:12-13 KJV
While we anticipate and help to speed up the coming of the day of God, when the atmosphere will be set on fire and the heavenly bodies consumed in a blaze. But as we wait, we trust in God’s royal proclamation to be fulfilled. There are coming heavens new in quality, and an earth new in quality, where righteousness will be fully at home. Peter is teaching us that the Church has the ability to speed (or slow down), the coming of the day of God. The closer we get to Christ, the closer will be His coming. The “day of God” and the “the day of the LORD” are the same. There is coming a day when all will live according to God’s perfect will for their lives and righteousness will be at home on earth and in every heart. This will be the day when justice reigns on earth. It is God’s promise that there is a new sky and a new earth in which the virtuous people will dwell. Let’s seek God’s perfect will for our lives daily by being led by the mighty Holy Spirit so that we are ready for the day of God any time. Amen!
