(From 1st/2nd Peter) <br /> <br />God has commanded the present heavens and earth to remain until the day of judgment. <br />Then they will be set on fire, and ungodly people to destruction sent. <br /> <br />For to God, one day is as a thousand years – a key to what the prophets meant. <br />The Lord is not slow to keep his promises, he wants all to be saved and repent. <br /> <br />The day of the Lord’s return will surprise like a thief – immediate and terse. <br />The heavens will disappear with a great noise of heresy, heat melting the whole universe. <br /> <br />Every debt of the earth will be revealed – foreclosed – and debtors taken in the hearse. <br />To be burned as chaff in the fires of the furnace – the earned and un-repented curse. <br /> <br />So you should serve and honor God: live your life not as the dead but in Christ alive. <br />Look forward to the day when God judges everyone, and try to make it arrive. <br /> <br />For the heavens will be destroyed and into the hot depths of Hell all the earth will dive. <br />But God has promised us a new heaven and a new earth where justice will always thrive.<br /><br />Daniel Partlow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-day-is-a-thousand-years/
