2 Peter 3:10 (ESV) — But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and
then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be
burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will
be exposed.
NOTE: The day of the
Lord is coming. We may dismiss the supernatural but that does not change
timeless truth. The verse could be written "… and then the sky will pass
away rushingly, and the elements will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth
and the works that are done on it will be exposed." This is a little
closer to the Greek words and gives a much different view. Rather than
recreating the universe, God recreates the earth in this verse. As for the
"heavens," the Jews saw three heavens--the sky, the universe, and the
abode of God, so there is some ambiguity on what a new heaven and a new earth
will refer. Whatever, God will do something beautiful.
PRAYER: A new year
is a new opportunity. It is like starting over. Father, help me to live for you
this year with a stronger witness than last year. I want to be a light to the
lost and an example of a godly man.
