Peter is helping us to understand that in the last days, there will be many scoffers walking after their lust, saying where is this promise of the coming of the Lord. Since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have, but they say this willing because of their lust. Unlearned and unstable men wrest the scriptures to say things that are not inspired by God. Paul was given wisdom by God, and he wrote about the day of the Lord would come as a thief in the night. Peter goes on to say that the heavens will pass away with a great noise and fervent heat. Since all these things are going to happen, we should have a holy conversation, and live a godly life so that day will soon come. God is patient toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all men would come to repentance. The heavens are reserved unto fire for the ungodly, and men of perdition. There is a heaven where there dwells righteousness, and we are to be found in peace with God to go there. When we repent of our sins, and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are imputed with the righteousness of Christ. We will be ready for the day of the Lord. The promise of God is sure, and a day is as a 1000 yrs. to God, so we have to be patient as we wait for the Lord's coming.
