II Peter 3:10
The Scripture
(10) 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.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Peter warned that scoffers would come in the last days denying Christ's promised return, forgetting that the world was once destroyed by water and that the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire on the day of judgment. He reminded believers that the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and urged them to live holy lives while looking for new heavens and a new earth.
