LWB 2 <strong>Peter</strong> 3:10 Now, the day of the Lord [at the end of the millennium] will come<br />
as a thief [taking you <strong>by</strong> surprise], in which the heavens [atmosphere and the rest of<br />
the universe] will be dissolved with a loud, roaring noise [similar to nuclear fusion],<br />
and the elemental substances [air, water, earth, fire] will be destroyed <strong>by</strong> great<br />
consuming heat [similar to nuclear fission]. In addition, the earth and the works in<br />
it [human good and other production] will be judged.<br />
KW 2 <strong>Peter</strong> 3:10 But there will come the day of the Lord as a thief, in which the heavens<br />

KJV 2 <strong>Peter</strong> 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens<br />

<strong>by</strong> God. During this dramatic time, the heavens will be dissolved (Predictive Future<br />
tense) with a loud, roaring noise such as that which accompanies nuclear-type<br />
destruction. The plural “heavens” begins with the earth’s atmosphere, but extends to the<br />
rest of the universe. The elemental substances - known at the time as air, water, earth and<br />
fire – will be destroyed (Predictive Future tense) <strong>by</strong> great consuming heat. This means<br />
they will be melted <strong>by</strong> some type of fission. In addition, the earth and the works in it will<br />
be judged (Predictive Future tense). The “works” in it refers to human good (wood, hay,
