I agree. Once the judgment is over then we (believers) will inherit "eternal life" in the kingdom of God in the new heavens and new earth, which is portrayed in Matthew 25:31-46.Revelation 21:1 proves the New heavens and new earth come after the Millennium and the final Judgment.
There is no basis whatsoever for dividing up the chapter like this as if 2 Peter 3:7,10 and 2 Peter 3:11-13 are entirely different events. That is utter nonsense.2 Peter 3:7 & 10 refer to the Sixth Seal event and 2 Peter 3:11-13. to the NH, NE.
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men..... 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 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? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Never does Peter change the subject in these verses and that is obvious. Only doctrinal bias could lead someone to that conclusion. In verse 11 Peter says "all these things shall be dissolved" which means he was referring to something he had previously said before that. What would that be? What he said in verse 10, obviously, which is that the heavens, the elements and the earth would all dissolve. He was referring back to that in verse 11. There is no basis whatsoever to think that verse 11 is not talking about the very same event as verse 10. Same thing with verse 12 where Peter refers to "the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heart". A clear reference back to verse 10, showing those 2 verses to be about the same event. And then verse 13 is also obviously about the same event as well. The result of the current heavens and earth being dissolved and renewed will be "new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness".
Your interpretation of those verses is senseless and completely illogical.This is the sequence as given and is perfectly sensible and logical.
Like you? You absolutely butcher 2nd Peter 3 and then think you have the authority to say this?However; those willing to ignore or dismiss plainly stated Prophecy, in order to suit their beliefs, have other ideas
I hope you recover from your embarrassment because it will be extreme.All will eventually be revealed and those who got it wrong will be embarrassed, that's all.
