Fire is Coming

     Amazon unveiled its new Kindle Fire, a 7-inch Android-based tablet  yesterday.  It is purported to rival Apple's Ipad.  Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos stated that "Fire is Coming".  Now where have I heard that before hmmmmmmmmm?

     Wait I know, let me find it...ah here it is in 2 Peter 3:10, "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare."     

      Now what in the world was Peter talking about?  Well to get the full understanding of that verse we need to read the one just before and just after that one.  Here they are in context:

     2 Peter 3:9-11" ⁹ The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. ¹¹ Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives." 

     Now verse 9 is the kicker...it says that God doesn't want anyone to perish...but that everyone will come to repentance.  Hmmmmm so he is holding back the fire for a little while longer...but exactly how long?  No one knows.  One thing we do know is FIRE IS COMING.  So we need to be ready, because that fire is going to destroy Apple and everything else.

Hmmmm Apple.....isn't that where this all got started?
