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. 3:10
"Where is the promise of his coming?"
The author of 2 Peter is aware of the failed expectations of
early believers. He knows that Jesus, who was to come soon, didn't come at all.
Many have begun to ask, "Where is the promise of his coming?" He tries
to cover for Jesus by claiming that "one day with the Lord is as a thousand
years." 3:4
