In this day of the Lord, the great day, shall be the general conflagration; by which ••os• visible heavens, the earth, and sea shall pass away. Not that they shall be annihilated, (•r reduced to nothing) that is not the operation of fire: but they shall be dissolved, and purged by that […], from all the effects of sin, or of the curse, upon the•; and then renewed, and made more glorious and stable. Of this conflagration, the Apostle Peter speaks, 2 Pet. iii. 10. 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 in l with fervent heat: the earth also, and the works that are therein shall be burnt up. See also ver. 7, 12. And of the renewing of the world, he adds, ver. 13. "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens, and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
