Most Americans treat Christ’s coming with indifference Why must we take it seriously? 2 Peter 3 There is no escape, Hb.9:27 The time is unknown, Mt.24:36 No second chance, Lk.16

I. The Certainty Of His Coming

Urgency calls for repetition, Pt.1:12-15 Some crave novelty (Ac.17) We need repetition Food Bathing Exercise Prayer

Warnings, 3 Peter was not caught off guard by apostasy. Ac.20:29-31; 1 T.4:1 Mockers ridicule, make fun of Christ’s coming. Why? Humanism (intellectual arrogance) Lusts (love sin) 3:3; 2:10

Their arguments: “…and saying,” 4 1. Time 2. Continuity Where is the promise? *Long delay = no fulfillment *Mt.24:48 All things continue… *Uniformitarianism *Problem not mental

Peter’s response, 5-9 Deliberately ignore facts (Ro.1:18) 2. Continuity 2. Continuity, 5-7: false!  God destroyed ancient world w. water World (6) cf. 2:5; here = men (cf. 2:6) By which (6): plural (see v.5) Perished (6, 7, 9) Same word: earth reserved for fire, 7 WordWater

2. Continuity 1. Time 1. Time, 8-9 Time has passed, but God is not bound by our clock, 8. Ps.90:4 Ps.90:4 contrast: eternity of God, brevity of man 2 Pt.3:8 contrast: eternity of God, impatience of man

God has unlimited time 1 Co.10 Different people; same God IsraelCorinthUs

God’s slowness to act is not… …but mercy (3:9; 1 Pt.3:20) Each day is a gift (Lk.16) God has unlimited time; we do not Ignorance Gn.6:5-6 Indifference Gn.6:5-6 Impotence Gn.6:5-6

I. Certainty Of His Coming II. Circumstances Of His Coming

Day of the Lord, Whole earth destroyed, 7, 10, 13 Contrast destruction of Jerusalem: No place to fleeNo signs Delay: mockersDaily watching Universal (Flood)Indifference

On day Jesus comes: Noise, Burn, Destruction, 10 Heavens Heavens, Gn.1:17, 20 Pass away cf. v.7 Great noise (roar) Fire (7, 10, 12) Dissolved (10, 11, 12)

Heavens Elements Elements…fr. which everything in the world is made and of which it is composed…to disappear in the world conflagration at the end of time”  In speech: letters of alphabet Burned up “Discovered” Fall apart Melt down

1. Heavens 2. Elements Earth 3. Earth, 10 – Its works may include God’s works Vegetable k. Mineral k. Man’s works Houses Possessions

Peter agrees with other passages Mt.24:35 Hb.1:10-12 Hb.12:26-28 Rv.20: :1  This world is not my home
