2Pet. 3:10; the elements shall melt with fervent heat = These "elements" consist of the physical substances and materials of the universe from the largest building blocks to the smallest sub-atomic particles.
This expression proves more sinister than just describing intense heat that destroys. It also describes the elements breaking out into fiery heat similar to a spontaneous combustion.
Think of a person who suffers from an internal bodily fever, of which if left unchecked, untreated, and unabated, that sufferer will surely die.
Note, Apostle Peter did not identify the source of origin that results in this "fervent heat". From where, or from what does this heat generate? The description seems to suggest this heat builds up from an internal fever within the created physical elements which breaks out into a wild fire.
This is all very plausible, for GOD created all things consisting of molecules and atoms. Atoms constantly move, and their movement generates heat. The faster atoms move, the more intense the heat.
Such is the plan The LORD (v.9) has in store for the present heavens, elements, the earth, and all the works.
Archaeological digs at Bible Sites - In Reply on 2 Peter 3 - 1 year ago
I recently viewed a program with an archaeologist who has been hunting for remains of Sodom and Gomorrah. He's found artifacts, coins, etc. but he found no walls.
He was really at a loss to find the proof__until he waded out into the water nearby. He found bits of sulphur that had cooled when it hit the water. He searched the dry land and found melted sulphur in "disks" all over those 2 places; in varying sizes.
He's a believer in God. He said, it seemed that the cities were not just set on fire. They had sulphur fire poured on them. He figured how hot it would have to be to melt the sulphur. People in those cities died instantly.
He showed with his camera, possible remains. The landscape doesn't work with ancient maps. Residents in the area, say those ARE the sites of those 2 cities.
The man panned his camera all around sites of heaps that may have been walls. The melted sulphur was everywhere. Enough for everybody to carry a souvenir in their pockets. WOW!
Also, archaeologists cannot find the Garden of Eden. According to scripture locations of the 3 rivers in the current area; only one river is found. I think the Tigris.
We'll find out what happened one day__those who choose Jesus Christ as Savior, and make Heaven their permanent home.
The book of Revelation 22, scripture shows the Ark of the Covenant resides there. As does the Tree of Life.
Whatever is in the Temple in Israel, is not the original Ark of the Covenant.
I thought you'd be interested in these facts. As they say, Knowledge with evidence is powerful. The Ark will be brought back when the Lamb of God fights Antichrist's Army at Armageddon. We will be with Jesus.
I believe the Ark will be opened, and all of Antichrist's army will fall dead. There will be great rejoicing everywhere. The Antichrist, False Prophet, Beast will be delivered to hell. Satan will be chained for 1000 years.
