What will happen to all these things when God destroys the present world?
All these things shall be dissolved. The fervent heat will melt them down to nothing. If God should see fit to destroy this little solar system, it would be just a little blip in the hole. Since all these things will be dissolved, people ought to be in holy conversation and godliness.
Les teaches that verse 11 says all these things shall be dissolved. The fervent heat is going to melt it down to nothing. He explains that if God should see fit to destroy this little solar system, it would just be a little blip in the hole. Because all these things will be dissolved, Peter asks what manner of persons we ought to be in all holy conversation, or manner of living, and godliness. Les says that since we are dealing with this kind of God, who is man to even attempt to thwart Him or reject Him? He observes that down through human history, the largest percentage of men have kept God out of their life. He is alarmed about the younger generation, who seemingly have no concept of God, eternity, or things spiritual, and live for the here and now and the gratification of the flesh.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
