Blaising on 2 Peter 3

August 25, 2018 by Brian

Blaising, Craig A. “The Day of the Lord Will Come: An Exposition of 2 Peter 3:1-18,” Bibliotheca Sacra 169, no. 676 (Oct-Dec 2012): 387-401.

Blaising follows Al Wolters’s interpretation that 2 Peter 3:10 refers to a refining of the earth and its works. He also takes stoicheia to refer to the heavenly bodies. He connects the idea of refining fire to Micah and to Isaiah 1-4. The latter passage especially indicates that the Lord’s fiery presence itself will both judge and refine the world when he comes.
