as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.
This day of God proves Christ's deity, for then He will manifest His omniscience and omnipotence most clearly, and God will finish all His works as He finished creation on the seventh day. Every purpose, promise, and threat will be fulfilled; all things brought into judgment and clear light.
AI summary
We must hasten slowly: waiting belongs to hope, yet hastening belongs to labor. Security of the flesh will creep in if we are not vigilant; so strive mightily in good works and run swiftly in your calling, holding both endurance and urgency together.
AI summary
The true Christian does not dread this day but longs for it as his redemption. While willing to wait God's time, the brightest hope he knows is that hour when Christ returns to take him to Himself. He would welcome it at any moment.
