The Day of the Lord
10 But Matt. 24:42, 43; Luke 12:39; 1 Thess. 5:2; Rev. 3:3; 16:15the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which Gen. 1:6–8; Ps. 102:25, 26; Is. 51:6; Rev. 20:11the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner ofpersons ought you to be 1 Pet. 1:15in holy conduct and godliness, 12 1 Cor. 1:7, 8; Titus 2:13–15looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will Ps. 50:3be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will Is. 24:19; 34:4; Mic. 1:4melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for Is. 65:17; 66:22new heavens and a (Rom. 8:21); Rev. 21:1new earth in which righteousness dwells.
