The Practical Importance 0f Eschatology

Peter explains why mockers deny prophecy, God's patience, and the Day of the Lord. He jumps from the beginning of the Day of the Lord and jumps to its culmination in the destruction of the present Heavens and Earth and creation of new ones. In light of what is to happen in the future (eschatology), he challenges believers to live in personal holiness. That should be the practical effect of eschatology on all believers.
