The Scripture
(7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
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.
