3—Everything Unconnected to God Burns: Rev. 21:1—As God’s Word says in 1 John 2:17: “the world passes away.” The universe, the earth, and the world’s systems: social, economic, cultural, and religious, are all consumed. Then Peter asks us something on behalf of Almighty God. These words may be the most important words to really wrap your mind around if you believe God if you know Jesus, and if you want to please Him with your life.
1 Peter 3:11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness?
2—The Fire That Melts the Entire Universe: Rev. 21:1— John has already told us in 1 John 2:17 that the world would someday pass away, but only Peter describes the exact way it happens. It is with the fire of God: the consuming, purifying fire that brings a new heaven and earth.
Note what Peter says in 2 Peter 3:10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
What does Peter mean that the “elements” melt? Peter is guided by the Spirit to use the Greek word stoichea, which means the microscopic components that make up the building blocks of matter. God tells us that He is refining with fire the Universe, right down to the very essence of matter, it’s all going to be consumed.
1—THE OLD GOES & THE NEW COMES: Rev. 20:15-21:1—As the old polluted-by-sin universe dissolves, just like Peter describes its “un-creation” in 2 Peter 3, all lost sinners face their lives recorded by God and they stand without excuse and hear their final sentencing to eternal death as their own words, thoughts, and works condemn them forever.
