Introduction
The dawn of a new millenium
Ø Millions of people are anxiously looking into the future and wondering what it holds in store for them.
Ø Parents are concerned about their children, and young people want to know what awaits them in a world that is confused and desperate.
Ø The world is turning upside down.
God’s answer to world chaos is the coming new world.
This is the scope of the new life.

The Promise of the Coming New World (13, 1-2)
The promise of the coming new world was both foretold and foreshadowed in Holy Scripture.

(Isaiah 7:14 NKJV) "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel."
(Micah 5:2 NKJV) "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting."
Over six hundred prophesies concerning the Second Coming.
(Zechariah 14:4 NKJV) “And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.”
2B.
The promise foreshadowed (13a, 4)
The point, which Peter makes three times over, is that God is precise in all His timing.
The timing of God’s act of creation (5)
The timing of God’s act of destruction (6)
The timing of God’s act of redemption (9)
\\ 2A.
The Purpose of the Coming New World (13b)
“in which righteousness dwells” - .
prophetic present, Peter uses language in this paragraph to anticipate the fulfillment of God’s prophetic program.
In God’s purpose for the coming new world, Peter sees a threefold design:
1B.
A personal design (13a)
“look” = to anticipate
Christ will return for His own.
(John 14:3 NKJV) "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."
Christ’s return is our great hope
(Titus 2:13 NKJV) "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,"
2B.
A punitive design (13b)
“New heavens and a new earth”
2 Peter 3:10
(Psalms 102:25-26 NKJV) "Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
