2 Peter 3:8-12 (NKJV)
[8] But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
[11] Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
[12] looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
