Concept: Wait
Prologue:
2 Peter 3:8-10 8
But do not let this one fact escape
your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. 9

toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to
repentance. 10 But the day of
the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a
roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and
its works will be burned up.
