Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Peter 3:7

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.But the heavens and the earth, that are now — Since the flood. Are reserved unto fire at the day wherein God will judge the world, and punish the ungodly with everlasting destruction. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Peter 3:8

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.But be not ye ignorant — Whatever they are.Of this one thing — Which casts much light on the point in hand.That one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day — Moses had said, Psalm 90:4, "A thousand years in thy sight are as one day;" which St. Peter applies with regard to the last day, so as to denote both his eternity, whereby he... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Peter 3:10

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.But the day of the Lord will come as a thief — Suddenly, unexpectedly.In which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise — Surprisingly expressed by the very sound of the original word.The elements shall melt with fervent heat — The elements seem to mean, the... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Peter 3:11

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,Seeing then that all these things are dissolved — To the eye of faith it appears as done already.All these things — Mentioned before; all that are included in that scriptural expression, "the heavens and the earth;" that is, the universe. On the fourth day God made the stars, Genesis 1:16, which will be dissolved together with the earth. They are deceived,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:1

1. The fatal error of expecting Christ’s immediate coming, from the immediateness of the terms in which it is predicted, 2 Peter 3:1-13. 1. This Literally, This epistle, already beloved a second, unto you I write. The first chapter is a general, yet direct, introductory address; the second chapter steps aside to portray the corruptionists to come; this resumes and finishes the direct epistle. Now Literally, already; it is already a being-completed second epistle. Pure minds In... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:2

2. The holy prophets Of the Old Testament, whose predictions of a day of judgment all culminate in the one final day. The apostles Literal Greek, your apostles of the Lord and Saviour. These are your apostles as sent to you, and Christ’s, as sent by him. The model comprehensive prediction is that of Matthew 24:25, on which see our notes. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:3

3. Knowing this first The great precaution is here now premised in regard to the judgment-day prophecies. The readers must not suppose that the terms of immediacy of time in the prophetic announcements of the second advent really mean that they are now, humanly, at hand. The same caution given in St. Paul’s first epistle, (2 Thessalonians 2:1,) is repeated in this, Peter’s last. The last days The very caution defines the phrase. They are the last days before the second advent, however... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:4

4. Where is What has become of? These scoffers truly come from out the millennial Church. They long believed that old promise embraced in the Apostles’ Creed, that Christ would “come to judge the quick and the dead.” But ages have passed, and this coming is proved to be a ridiculous superstition. His coming The word here is parousia, and when predicated of Christ, always denotes his literal bodily presence. The verb come, and noun coming, are often used of spiritual... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:5

5. It is to the Flood that our apostle appeals as an instance of a great interposition. A suitable instance; for its mundane reality is attested by a world-wide spread of traditions among mankind. Whether the deluge was literally world-wide or not, it was a true instance of a mundane catastrophe, justifying the possibility of a still greater catastrophe from the hand of Him to whom this globe is a speck. Willingly… ignorant Men do not know the truth because they wish not to know it. ... read more
