When Jesus Comes Back

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but as long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of The Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." ... "Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless." 2 Peter 3:9-10 & 14

Jesus is coming back. He is not late. He is always right on time. He has only been gone for two days, 2 Peter 3:8, a thousand years equals one day.

He is being patient with us so that all who will believe can be saved. 'The day of The Lord' is the biblical term which refers to the future time of judgment when God will judge the wicked and end this world system in its present form. All matter will be incinerated, annihilated, or according to some Bible scholars, transformed.

There is a debate among Bible scholars whether or not this verse refers to the "new heaven" and "new earth" after "the first heaven and the first earth were passed away..."that John referred to in Revelation 21:1 after His thousand year reign or before it.

But, either way, all of us who are in Christ will have nothing to worry about as we will be saved from this annihilation for we will already be with Him when this happens.
