Read: 2 Peter 3
Meditation: Here we see Peter ending his letter with the
concern of what is being taught by some people of the second coming of
Christ. We have here some facts on that day that is coming. What are the
facts as taught in scripture about Jesus and His second coming by Peter
in this letter?
Prayer Starter: Lord, there are many different teachings out
there about Jesus and His second coming. Help me to dig out those facts
from Your Word. 
Read: 2 Peter 3:3-4
Meditation: Let us focus on these two verses from 2 Peter, and see
what the Bible tells us about Jesus and the belief that He will come again.
We see here even in the early church that there were some that did not
believe in Jesus' second coming. Many today do not even believe that Jesus
is God's Son. They deny the first coming of Jesus, let alone a second
coming. They hope or have convinced themselves that He will never return to
judge men.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to never doubt that You will return
some day to judge mankind.
Read: Acts 1:9-11 Romans
14:11-12 Acts 17:30-31
Hebrews 9:27
Meditation: If you believe that God does exist and that Jesus rose
from the dead, that the Bible is true, then you must believe that Jesus will
return some day to judge all men. These passages point to that fact.
Prayer Starter: O Lord, help me to see and not doubt about Your
second coming.
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:10 Romans
2:6 Matthew 25:32 Romans
14:10-12
Meditation: The Bible clearly states that all men will be present
at the judgment. It is not an appointment we can be late to or even miss.
There will be no excuses accepted and no amount of money, influence or power
can prevent your appearance. Everybody will know and confess who Jesus is
and we will all have to give an account of our lives to God.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I know I will be judged by you. Help me to
truly believe in Your Son Jesus and what He has done for me.
Read: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
2 Peter 3:10
Meditation: The Bible does not tell us when Jesus will come again.
No one knows or can even predict His coming, so we need to be prepared for
it at all times. The Bible tells us that Jesus' return could be anytime. Do
not believe anyone when he claims they have set the date for His return for
they have marked themselves as false teachers, for they claim to know what
the Bible expressly says no one can know.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to see that I need to be prepared
for Your coming at all times.
Read: 2 Peter 3
Revelation 21:1
Meditation:
Look at these passages to determine what will happen to the earth
when Jesus returns. The context of 2 Peter is doctrinal instruction of
what will happen to the earth. It is not symbolic or poetic, but a
statement of fact by Peter to his fellow believers. When Jesus returns,
the earth will be destroyed,. not only that we see a creation of a new
heaven and a new earth.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I know that there are a lot of fictions
out there about what will happen to the earth at Your coming. Help me to
see that it will be destroyed and that my faith in You is more important
than anything that is on this earth.
