LOOKING FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD

Photo provided by Mary Jackson Cooper

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?  Nevertheless we, 
according to his promise, look 
for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.  
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye 
look for such things, be diligent that 
ye may be found of him in peace, 
without spot, and blameless.  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;  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.
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.
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.
II Peter 3:12-13
