Therefore, I intend to remind you constantly of these things even though you know them and are well established in the truth that you now have.

since I know that my tabernacle will soon be removed, because our Lord Jesus Christ revealed this to me.

For we did not follow cleverly concocted fables when we made known to you the power and return of our Lord Jesus Christ; no, we were eyewitnesses of his grandeur.

Above all, you do well if you recognize this: No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet's own imagination,

for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,

Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day.

But, according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness truly resides.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the honor both now and on that eternal day.
