Perhaps we believers are, in view of Peter’s suggestions that when we see the signs so evident today, we should look for and hasten the coming day of the Lord. (2 Pet. 3:12a) Hasten? How? . . . By manifesting holy conduct, godliness, and peace, with spotless and blameless behavior.(2 Pet. 3:11,14) Whoa . . . better get started then, unless some theologian can wriggle us out of it, but I doubt it.
