2 PETER 3:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“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?”
Waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens will be ignited and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! — the paradox of waiting for yet hastening (speudontas) the day suggests that prayer and righteous living cooperate with God's timetable. The dissolution by fire (purothen) represents the climactic transformation of all things.
