2 Peter 3:9-10 (ESV)
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
The day of the Lord is delayed so that all would repent from the deeds that are done in the darkness of mankind. His patience and mercy toward us abounds, but it is not boundless. The day of the Lord will suddenly come.
The light of the world will no longer draw the willing into the life of Christ, but harshly reveal all that was hidden under the cover of night. We will all give an account of our work, whether good or bad. The fire of His justice and righteousness will judge what we have done.
