2 Peter 3:3-11 First i want to remind you that in the last days there will come scoffers who will do every wrong they can think of, and laugh at the truth. V4 This will be their line of arguement:”so Jesus promised to come back, did he? Then where is he? He’ll never come back! Why, as far back as anyone can remember everything has remained exactly as it was since the first day of creation.” V5,6 They delibrately forget this facts: that God did destroy the world with a mighty flood, long after he had made the the heavens by the word of his command, and had used the waters to form the earth and surround it. V7 And God has commanded that the earth and the heavens be stored away for a great bonfire at the judgement day, when all ungodly men will perish. V8 But don’t forget this, dear friends, that a day or a thousand years from now is like tomorrow to the Lord. V9 He isn’t really been slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But He is waiting, for the good reason that He is not willing that should perish and He is giving more time for sinners to repent. V10 The day of the Lord is surely coming, as unexpectedly as a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with terrible noise and the heavenly bodies will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be burned up. V11 And so since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives we should be living! The Living Bible Version
