You should look forward to that day and hurry it along--the day when God will set the heavens on fire and the elements will melt away in the flames.
But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world where everyone is right with God.
And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to live a pure and blameless life. And be at peace with God.

"The coming of the Son of Man can be compared with that of a man who left home to go on a trip. He gave each of his employees instructions about the work they were to do, and he told the gatekeeper to watch for his return.

But let the Lord Jesus Christ take control of you, and don't think of ways to indulge your evil desires.

"Watch out! Don't let me find you living in careless ease and drunkenness, and filled with the worries of this life. Don't let that day catch you unaware,
as in a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.
Keep a constant watch. And pray that, if possible, you may escape these horrors and stand before the Son of Man."
