撒但是信徒的对头,是魔鬼,如同吼叫的狮子,遍地游行,寻找可吞吃的人。(彼前五8。)
堕落的天使被定罪,等候永远的审判;(彼后二4;)上古不敬虔的世界被洪水毁灭;(二5,三6;)不敬虔的城被焚烧成灰;(二6;)背道的假教师和异端的讥诮者,以及过邪恶生活的人,都要受审判遭毁坏;(二1,3,9~10,12,三3~4,7,彼前四5;)诸天和地要被烧尽;(彼后三7,10~11;)并且所有的死人和鬼都要受审判。(彼前四5。)然后,那作新宇宙的新天新地就要来到,有神的义居住在其中,直到永远。(彼后三13。)
Satan is the believers' adversary, the Devil, as a roaring lion walking about, seeking someone to devour (1 Pet. 5:8).
The fallen angels were condemned for eternal judgment (2 Pet. 2:4); the ancient ungodly world was destroyed by a flood (2 Pet. 2:5; 3:6); the ungodly cities were reduced to ashes (2 Pet. 2:6); the false teachers and heretical mockers in the apostasy and the living mankind will all be judged unto destruction (2 Pet. 2:1, 3, 9-10, 12; 3:3-4, 7; 1 Pet. 4:5); the heavens and the earth will be burned up (2 Pet. 3:7, 10, 11); and all the dead men and the demons will be judged (1 Pet. 4:5). Then the new heavens and the new earth will come as a new universe, in which God's righteousness will dwell for eternity (2 Pet. 3:13).
