God's Promise Is Not Slack
...The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise,
as some understand slowness.
Instead He is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance.
The Day of the Lord
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The heavens will disappear with a roar;
the elements will be destroyed by fire,
and the earth and everything done in it
will be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way,
what kind of people ought you to be?
You ought to live holy and godly lives
as you look forward to the day of God
and speed its coming.
That day will bring about the
destruction of the heavens by fire,
and the elements will melt in the heat.
But in keeping with His promise
we are looking forward to a new heaven
and a new earth,
where righteousness dwells.
