30. 2. Be ye patient until the coming of the Lord: the coming of the Lord is near (James 5:7, 8).

That we may be kept through faith unto salvation and glory, in the last time, at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:5, 7, 13).

The day of visitation (1 Peter 2:12).

That ye may rejoice in the revelation of His glory (1 Peter 4:13).

I who am a partaker of the future revelation. When the chief of the shepherds shall appear ye shall obtain a crown of glory (1 Peter 5:1, 4).

That there shall come in the last of the days, scoffers, who will walk after their own lusts, and who will say, Where is the promise of His coming? etc. (2 Peter 3:3-4).

The heavens and the earth that now are, reserved unto fire in the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly (2 Peter 3:7).

The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night: in which the heavens and the earth shall pass away; looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens, kindled with fire, shall be dissolved; nevertheless, we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein justice shall dwell (2 Peter 3:10-14).

(N. B. By "the fire" by which the world is to perish is meant wickedness; by the "world" is meant the church; by an "age" the period of the church, and by a "week" the state of the church. These things are confirmed by the angels of heaven.)

A thousand years with the Lord are as one day (2 Peter 3:8; Psalms 90:4).
