2 Peter 3

http://www.esvbible.org/2+Peter+3/

Peter says that both of His letters serve to remind us what the prophets said and what Jesus said through the apostles. Near the end, a day will come, when men will ridicule the Lord and His promises. They will say that things are the same as they've ever been and question Jesus' returning. What they forget is that it is through the Word of God and Christ the the world came to exist in the first place. We also cannot forget that time is meaningless to God. He does things in His own time and a day to Him is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. We must stay true because a day is coming when theEarth will be destroyed, and everything that was done by humans will be gone. Heaven and Earth will be destroyed. Yet God promises a new Heaven and earth on which all that God approves of will live. Because of all this, we must be sure to stand firm in our beliefs. People will come to discredit all of the Scriptures, but we must remember that they all come from God. We cannot let these types of people carry us away.
