II Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.Did Peter write here about the same thing that John wrote down, about after the thousand year kingdom?
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Or did Peter write about a fiery judgment, earlier, in the tribulation, like the following?Revelation 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Also possibly, then, the heavens passing away mentioned in the following?
Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
However, if Peter wrote about the burning after the thousand year kingdom, why would he mention?"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night"?Would it still come as a thief in the night, after Jesus will have been on the earth for a thousand years?
One explanation, which I think is stretch, is that, since Peter that:
II Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
That the day of the Lord stretches over the full thousand years, from the tribulation, through to the great white throne judgment.Then, since the end of that thousand year day of the Lord ends with everything burning up,but the beginning of the thousand year day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night,then, we who are alive now, before the blessed hope should:
II Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Again, I think that explanation is a stretch, so that is why I'm posing the question:If Peter wrote about the burning after the thousand year kingdom, why would he mention it coming as a thief in the night?
