Maybe you missed my post where I asked you to tell me how it can be possible for mortals to populate the earth after Jesus returns in light of scripture like this...
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Explain to me how you reconcile your Premil doctrine with this passage.
This is very easy to explain...if you learn to pay attention to things IN CONTEXT. Backing up just a little bit, Peter said:
"But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 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. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 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? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." (2 Pet. 3:8-13)
Peter flat out told us not to be ignorant of one thing, and you have apparently missed it. While alluding to this...
"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Psalm 90:4)
...Peter told us to not be ignorant that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Immediately thereafter, he began to describe "the day of the Lord" which is NOT going to be a literal 24 hour day, but rather a one thousand year timeframe. Certain prophesied events surrounding "the day of the Lord" will transpire at the beginning of that one thousand year timeframe, others will transpire during the one thousand year timeframe, and the one that you are referencing will occur at the end of that one thousand year timeframe....just like the Apostle John said it would.
"
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." (Rev. 20:7-21:1)
At the end of Christ's coming millennial or one thousand year reign, the great white throne judgment will occur. At that time, the present earth and heaven will flee away and a new heaven and a new earth will come. Peter's eschatology perfect aligns with John's eschatology UNLESS we are ignorant of the very thing that Peter told us not to be ignorant of.
