Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire is devouring before Him, and it storms around Him mightily.
The earth is broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken utterly.
Then all the host of heaven will dissolve, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll— so all their array will wither away, like a leaf drooping from a vine, like a fig shriveling from a fig tree.
The mountains will melt away under Him and the valleys will split apart like wax before the fire, like water being poured down a slope.
For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then ‘He will repay everyone according to his deeds.’
Amen, I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
I am sure of this very thing—that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the Day of Messiah Yeshua.
We wait for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth and everything done on it shall be exposed.
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? Live your lives in holiness and godliness,
and saying, “Where is this promise of His coming? Ever since the fathers died, everything goes on just as it has from the beginning of creation.”
But by the same word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire—kept until the Day of Judgment and the destruction of ungodly people.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly waiting for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah that leads to eternal life.
