2 Peter 3:10-13 But when the Day of God's Judgment does come, it will be unannounced, like a thief. The sky will collapse with a thunderous bang, everything disintegrating in a huge conflagration, earth and all its works exposed to the scrutiny of Judgment.
Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow, do you see how essential it is to live a holy life? Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up and the elements melt down that day--but we'll hardly notice. We'll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness. (The Message)
Did you ever hear the story of "Chicken Little"?
One day Chicken Little was walking through the woods and when an acorn fell on her head. She thought for sure the sky was falling and wanted to tell the king. On her way to the palace, she met Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Cocky Locky and Turkey Lurkey and told them. They then decided they had to tell the king as well. But on their way, they ran into Foxy Loxy and told him the story and where they were going.
Foxy Loxy wanted to know how they knew the sky was falling. Chicken Little said, 'I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears and part of it fell on my head.' Foxy Loxy then told the group he knew a shortcut to the palace and to follow him. But he instead led them to his hole with plans to eat them. And then what happened? One version says, the king gave Chicken Little an umbrella to carry when she walked in the woods, so when an acorn fell on her, she wouldn't mind, she wouldn't notice it at all. Where did we just hear that? 2 Peter 3:10-13
God tells us judgment day will come and the sky will fall in. It's not to scare us and create panic, but to make us aware that it will happen and to give us time to make the changes in our lives he wants us to do.
Lets be on guard and not let anyone (Foxy Loxy-lawless & loose-talking teachers) come between us and our King.
