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.

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。

等候並催促神的日子來到。因為在那日，天要被火燒而消滅，天體都要被烈火熔化。

等候並催促神的日子降臨呢？因為在那日，天要被火焚燒就融化了，所有元素都因烈火而融解！

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.

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.

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!

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?

while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God? Because of this day, the heavens will be burned up and dissolve, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze!

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.

The mountains melt beneath his feet and flow into the valleys like wax in a fire, like water pouring down a hill.

The heavens above will melt away and disappear like a rolled up scroll. The stars will fall from the sky like withered leaves from a grapevine, or shriveled figs from a fig tree.

Our God approaches, and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him.

while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind.The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places.

And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down! How the mountains would quake in your presence!As fire causes wood to burn and water to boil, your coming would make the nations tremble. Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame!When you came down long ago, you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations. And oh, how the mountains quaked!For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him!You welcome those who gladly do good, who follow godly ways. But you have been very angry with us, for we are not godly. We are constant sinners; how can people like us be saved?We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.Yet no one calls on your name or pleads with you for mercy. Therefore, you have turned away from us and turned us over to our sins.And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.Don’t be so angry with us, Lord. Please don’t remember our sins forever. Look at us, we pray, and see that we are all your people.Your holy cities are destroyed. Zion is a wilderness; yes, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin.The holy and beautiful Temple where our ancestors praised you has been burned down, and all the things of beauty are destroyed.After all this, Lord, must you still refuse to help us? Will you continue to be silent and punish us?

Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.

and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

This is a vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.People from many nations will come and say,“ Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob’s God. There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion; his word will go out from Jerusalem.The Lord will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore.Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord!For the Lord has rejected his people, the descendants of Jacob, because they have filled their land with practices from the East and with sorcerers, as the Philistines do. They have made alliances with pagans.Israel is full of silver and gold; there is no end to its treasures. Their land is full of warhorses; there is no end to its chariots.Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands.So now they will be humbled, and all will be brought low— do not forgive them.Crawl into caves in the rocks. Hide in the dust from the terror of the Lord and the glory of his majesty.Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be humbled. Only the Lord will be exalted on that day of judgment.For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning. He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted.He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanon and all the mighty oaks of Bashan.He will level all the high mountains and all the lofty hills.He will break down every high tower and every fortified wall.He will destroy all the great trading ships and every magnificent vessel.Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance will be brought down. Only the Lord will be exalted on that day of judgment.Idols will completely disappear.When the Lord rises to shake the earth, his enemies will crawl into holes in the ground. They will hide in caves in the rocks from the terror of the Lord and the glory of his majesty.On that day of judgment they will abandon the gold and silver idols they made for themselves to worship. They will leave their gods to the rodents and bats,while they crawl away into caverns and hide among the jagged rocks in the cliffs. They will try to escape the terror of the Lord and the glory of his majesty as he rises to shake the earth.Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?
