Live like this as you look forward to the day of God. Living like this will make the day come more quickly. On that day fire will destroy the heavens. Its heat will melt everything in them.

切切仰望神的日子来到。在那日，天被火烧就销化了，有形质的都要被烈火熔化。

等候并催促上帝的日子来到。因为在那日，天要被火烧而消灭，天体都要被烈火熔化。

等候并催促神的日子来到。因为在那日，天要被火烧而消灭，天体都要被烈火熔化。

等候并催促神的日子降临呢？因为在那日，天要被火焚烧就融化了，所有元素都因烈火而融解！

等候并催促神的日子来临。因为在那日，诸天将被焚烧而废除，天体要被火焚烧而熔化。

切切仰望神的日子來到。在那日，天被火燒就銷化了，有形質的都要被烈火鎔化。

等候並催促上帝的日子來到。因為在那日，天要被火燒而消滅，天體都要被烈火熔化。

來期待、來催促上帝日子之來臨呢？為了這個、天必被火燒𤏲而消毁，星辰必因烈熾而熔化。

等候並催促神的日子來臨。因為在那日，諸天將被焚燒而廢除，天體要被火焚燒而熔化。

企慕上帝之日至、諸天因而焚毀、有體質者悉以烈火銷鎔之、

佇望仰慕上帝顯日、其顯則天爇而崩、有形色者焚而燬、

希望切慕天主之日至、是日天將被火焚燬、體質被烈燄銷鎔、

翼翼事主、以速主日之臨、蓋正惟諸天焚化、物質消溶、

as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.

waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames.

as you wait for the day of God and hasten its coming. Because of that day, the heavens will be dissolved with fire and the elements will melt with heat.

looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God. The heavens will be on fire and be dissolved because of it, and the elements will melt with the heat.

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?

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything done in it.

The mountains will melt under him like wax near a fire. The valleys will be broken apart by water rushing down a slope.

All the stars in the sky will vanish. The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll. All the stars in the sky will fall like dried- up leaves from a vine. They will drop like wrinkled figs from a fig tree.

Our God comes, and he won’t be silent. A burning fire goes ahead of him. A terrible storm is all around him.

That’s how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in his glory. He is our great God and Savior.

The stars in the sky fell to earth. They dropped like figs from a tree shaken by a strong wind.The sky rolled back like a scroll. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

By God’s word the heavens and earth of today are being reserved for fire. They are being kept for the day when God will judge. Then ungodly people will be destroyed.

I wish you would open up your heavens and come down to us! I wish the mountains would tremble when you show your power!Be like a fire that causes twigs to burn. It also makes water boil. So come down and make yourself known to your enemies. Cause the nations to shake with fear when they see your power!Long ago you did some wonderful things we didn’t expect. You came down, and the mountains trembled when you showed your power.No one’s ears have ever heard of a God like you. No one’s eyes have ever seen a God who is greater than you. No God but you acts for the good of those who trust in him.You come to help those who enjoy doing what is right. You help those who thank you for teaching them how to live. But when we continued to disobey you, you became angry with us. So how can we be saved?All of us have become like someone who is“ unclean.” All the good things we do are like dirty rags to you. All of us are like leaves that have dried up. Our sins sweep us away like the wind.No one prays to you. No one asks you for help. You have turned your face away from us. You have let us feel the effects of our sins.Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay. You are the potter. Your hands made all of us.Don’t be so angry with us, Lord. Don’t remember our sins anymore. Please have mercy on us. All of us belong to you.Your sacred cities have become a desert. Even Zion is a desert. Jerusalem is a dry and empty place.Our people of long ago used to praise you in our holy and glorious temple. But now it has been burned down. Everything we treasured has been destroyed.Lord, won’t you help us even after everything that’s happened? Will you keep silent and punish us more than we can stand?

There is no gift of the Holy Spirit that you don’t have. You are full of hope as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.God will also keep you strong in faith to the very end. Then you will be without blame on the day our Lord Jesus Christ returns.

And by doing these things, remain in God’s love as you wait. You are waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

God began a good work in you. And I am sure that he will carry it on until it is completed. That will be on the day Christ Jesus returns.

Here is a vision that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.In the last days the mountain where the Lord’ s temple is located will be famous. It will be the highest mountain of all. It will be raised above the hills. All the nations will go to it.People from many nations will go there. They will say,“ Come. Let us go up to the Lord’ s mountain. Let’s go to the temple of Jacob’s God. He will teach us how we should live. Then we will live the way he wants us to.” The law of the Lord will be taught at Zion. His message will go out from Jerusalem.He will judge between the nations. He’ll settle problems among many of them. They will hammer their swords into plows. They’ll hammer their spears into pruning tools. Nations will not go to war against one another. They won’t even train to fight anymore.People of Jacob, come. Let us live the way the Lord has taught us to.Lord, you have deserted the people of Jacob. They are your people. The land is full of false beliefs from the east. The people practice evil magic, just as the Philistines do. They do what ungodly people do.Their land is full of silver and gold. There is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses. There is no end to their chariots.Their land is full of statues of gods. Their people bow down to what their own hands have made. They bow down to what their fingers have shaped.So people will be brought low. Everyone will be made humble. Do not forgive them.Go and hide in caves in the rocks, you people! Hide in holes in the ground. Hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord! Hide when he comes in glory and majesty!Anyone who brags will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.The Lord who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge. He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important. He has set it apart for all those who brag about themselves. All of them will be brought low.The Lord has set that day apart for all the cedar trees in Lebanon. They are very tall. He has set that day apart for all the oak trees in Bashan.He has set it apart for all the towering mountains. He has set it apart for all the high hills.He has set it apart for every high tower and every strong wall.He has set it apart for every trading ship and every beautiful boat.Anyone who brags will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.And the statues of gods will totally disappear.People will run and hide in caves in the rocks. They will go into holes in the ground. They will run away from the terrifying presence of the Lord. They will run when he comes in glory and majesty. When he comes, he will shake the earth.People had made some statues of gods out of silver. They had made others out of gold. Then they worshiped them. But when the Lord comes, they will throw the statues away to the moles and bats.Those people will run and hide in caves in the rocks. They will go into holes in the cliffs. They will run away from the terrifying presence of the Lord. They will run when he comes in glory and majesty. When he comes, he will shake the earth.Stop trusting in mere human beings, who can’t help you. They only live for a little while. What good are they?
