Peter, in his second epistle sets the Christian expectation.
Looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be
dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat
(II Peter 3:12)
Anyone studying the Old Testament knows that ‘the day of God’, ‘the day of the Lord’, ‘That great
day of God Almighty’, and so on, is the whole focus of prophecy and clearly understood as being the P a g e 69
day(s) when the Lord shall destroy the kingdoms of man and establish his own kingdom over all the
earth.
