TAT 141 Hasten?
“What sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God…” (2 Peter 3:11–12)
Hastening the coming of the day of God???!!!! Come on Peter, don’t leave me hanging like that. I have been praying for His return, almost every day, since the mid 1960s. If there is more that I can do to hasten His return then just tell me what to do and I will (try to) do it! But, don’t tell me to hasten it without telling me how to do it!
As usual a further reading answers my question:
But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; (2 Pet. 3:13-15)
