(Continued from page 2) is clear from IL Peter iii 10-12. "The elements shall be melted with a peat, and the earth and the works which are in it shall ibe burnt up.... The heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat."
Prophet Isaias "says (Ixvii.15,16), "For the Lord shall judge by fire, and His chariots are like a whirlwind, to render His wrath in indignation, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For the Lord shall judge by fire." St, Paul writing to ihe Corinthians says: "The day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire," (I Cor. 2113), and again: "When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven "with the angels of his power, in a flame of fire yielding vengeance to them who know not God," (LI Thes.
128).
St. Peter treating of the fire, By which on judgments day the world will be consumed, says "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." (2 Peter.iii.6,7.).
