God bless you.
2Pe 3:1 ¶ This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 ¶ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
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.
8 ¶ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 ¶ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
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.
11 ¶ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (KJV)
We are definately in the days described in verses 3-5 and there are many people who choose to be ignorant of the truth. But whether anyone wants to face the truth or not, the Lord Jesus is coming back. First He will come for His church, what is called the Rapture ( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:40-57) Those who are born again,trusting Jesus as their Saviour will meet Him in the air. Those who where saved when they died will rise first then those here on earth at that time that are ready will be changed and also rise to meet Jesus in the air.
After people go through 7 years of the worst tribulation you can image here on this earth, the Lord Jesus will actually return to this earth (called the Revelation and you can read about it in Revelation and Daniel) and deliver His chosen people, the Jews, set up His earthly kingdom and rule the earth from His throne in Jerusalem. That will last for 1000 years. During that time satan is bound in the bottomless pit. After the 1000 years he is loosed for a short season and believe it or not, even after seeing how wonderful it is under the Lord Jesus Christ, there will be men and women who choose to follow satan and they will find destruction. Over half of the population that goes into the tribulation will die during it. You had best make sure NOW that you are saved.
What if today is the day Jesus comes back......... Are you ready?
