But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
11
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
12
as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
13

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones
15

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”So shall it be! Amen.

Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
11
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
15

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14
The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15
Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
