The King is Coming!

2 Peter 2:11-13 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives  (12)  as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.  (13)  But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

Charles Spurgeon said of this, "The king is coming; he is coming to his throne, and to his judgment.  Now a man does not go up to a king's door, and there talk treason; and men do not sit in a king's audience-chamber when they expect him every moment to enter, and there speak ill of him.  The King is on his way, and almost here; you are at his door; he is at yours. What manner of people ought ye to be? How can ye sin against One who is so close at hand?"
