ACC ~ 2 Peter 3 v10

CHANGED INTO SOMETHING BETTER. EUSEBIUS OF EMESA: Like a cloak, every body grows old with time. But although it grows old, it will be renewed again by your divine will, O Lord. The heavens will not be destroyed, but rather they will be changed into something better. In the same way our bodies are not destroyed in order to disappear altogether but in order to be renewed in an indestructible state. CATENA.

WHICH ELEMENTS WILL BE DISSOLVED WITH FIRE? BEDE: There are four elements, earth, air, fire and water, all of which will be swept away by a great fire. Yet that fire will not devour them all but only two of them (fire and water), for there will be a new heaven and a new earth after this destruction has passed. ON 2 PETER.

WILL COME LIKE A THIEF. OECUMENIUS: The day of the Lord will come without notice and unexpectedly, just as the flood did in the days of Noah. People will be eating and drinking and will not realize what is happening to them until the flood overtakes them. COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.
