THE DAY OF THE LORD / 2 PETER 3:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Peter 3:10

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

THE DAY OF THE LORD / 2 PETER 3:10

“The day of the Lord” typically refers to the broad period of time beginning with Christ’s sudden return to take the faithful people to His churches to be with Him in heaven (Matthew 24:42, 44); and “the day” ends with the destruction of the present heaven and earth and the creation of the new heaven and the new earth (Revelation 21-22; Joel 1:14; Zephaniah 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). However, in this particular passage, “the day of the Lord” is referring more specifically to the latter end of that period. That is, it refers to the end of history and time as we know it – when the present heaven and earth (the material universe) are destroyed by God’s fiery judgment and are replaced by the creation of the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21-22; Joel 1:14; Zephaniah 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). Keep in mind that this passage uses apocalyptic language (describing end-time destruction) similar to the language found in the Old Testament book of Daniel and the New Testament book of Revelation. This means that literal events are sometimes presented with the use of figurative language in an attempt to describe the indescribable. What seems to be described here is the destruction of the visible atmospheric heavens with a loud rushing sound (2 Peter 3:12) along with the burning up of all physical elements of the earth (2 Peter 3:12).

SPOKE WITH A MAN’S VOICE / 2 PETER 2:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Peter 2:16
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

SPOKE WITH A MAN’S VOICE / 2 PETER 2:16

Peter clearly believes in the miracles recorded in the Old Testament. Today, self-appointed critics (whom we sometimes find within the church) speak with mocking disrespect and unbelief and reject the reality of the miracles recorded in God’s Word; they also reject those who believe in miracles, believing they are unenlightened or naïve. But true believers take God at His Word and accept all the Bible’s miracles, and THE MIRACLES OF THE APOSTLES. They also believe and know that God performs miracles today in response to the prayers and faith of His people (John 6:2).
