Wanem nao “evri samting long skae and earth” wea bae melt? And wanem nao Peter minim taem hem sei, “earth witim olketa samting wea man duim bae showaot klia”? Taem iumi savve long ansa long olketa kwestin hia, iumi bae redi for olketa samting wea klosap for happen.

Skae and Earth Bae Finis

3. Wanem nao “skae” wea 2 Peter 3:​10 storyim, and hao nao bae hem finis?

³ Taem Bible iusim word “skae” long tokpiksa wei, plande taem hem minim olketa gavman wea rulim olketa man. (Isa. 14:​13, 14; Rev. 21:​1, 2) “Skae wea bae finis” piksarem olketa gavman bilong man wea kontrolem world. Olketa bae mekem “bigfala noise” taem olketa finis or nara Bible transleison sei datwan bae “barava fast tumas.” So luk olsem olketa gavman hia bae finis kwiktaem.

4. “Earth” piksarem wanem, and hao nao bae hem finis?

⁴ “Earth” piksarem olketa man long world wea no fren witim God. World olsem stap long taem bilong Noah, wea God finisim long Flood. “God talem tu, skae and earth wea stap distaem redi for finis long fire and weitim day wea God bae judgem evriwan and olketa wea no followim God bae finis.” (2 Pet. 3:⁠7) Long datfala Flood, olketa man wea no followim God finis long semtaem. Bat disfala “earth” wea bae finis long “bigfala trabol” bae no finis semtaem. (Rev. 7:​14) Taem bigfala trabol hia start, God bae mekem olketa bigman bilong gavman for finisim “Bigfala Babylon,” wea hem nao olketa religion wea olsem jury woman, bikos God heitim olketa. (Rev. 17:​5, 16; 18:​8) Then, long Armageddon, wea hem nao lastfala part long bigfala trabol hia, Jehovah bae finisim evri nara samting long world bilong Satan.​—⁠Rev. 16:​14, 16; 19:​19-​21.

“Evri Samting Long Skae and Earth Bae Melt”

5. Wanem nao “evri samting long skae and earth” piksarem?

⁵ Wanem nao “evri samting long skae and earth [wea] bae melt”? “Evri samting long skae and earth” wea Peter storyim minim tingting, wei, and olketa goal bilong pipol long disfala rabis world. Hem minim tu “tingting bilong pipol long disfala world” “wea kontrolem olketa son wea no obey.” (1 Cor. 2:​12; readim Ephesians 2:​1-3.) Datkaen tingting hem olsem “air” wea pipol long world bilong Satan brithim. Hem nao tingting wea mekem pipol planim, storyim, and duim samting wea followim tingting bilong Satan wea hem bighed and “rulim disfala air wea kontrolem pipol.”

6. Wanem nao wei bilong pipol wea followim tingting bilong world?

⁶ Pipol wea followim tingting long world bilong Satan spoelem heart bilong olketa seleva. Dastawe olketa duim wanem olketa seleva nomoa laekem, and no tingim wanem nao God laekem. Samting wea olketa duim followim bighed tingting bilong olketa. Olketa againstim olketa wea garem paoa and olketa hapi for duim “samting wea body laekem and samting wea eye laekem.”​—⁠Readim 1 John 2:​15-​17.

7. Why nao iumi mas “protectim gud heart” bilong iumi?

⁷ Iumi mas “protectim gud heart” bilong iumi. Iumi savve duim olsem taem iumi disaedem samting long wisefala wei, olsem hu nao iumi fren witim, wanem iumi readim, hapitaem wea iumi duim, and olketa Web site iumi lukim long Internet! (Prov. 4:​23) Aposol Paul sei: “Iufala mas lukaot gud, nogud samwan trikim iufala for followim tingting bilong man and olketa laea story wea followim olketa kastom from bifor kam. Olketa toktok olsem hem no kam from Christ bat hem followim tingting bilong disfala world.” (Col. 2:⁠8) Taem day bilong Jehovah kakam klosap, iumi mas no letem eniwan trikim iumi, bikos day bilong Jehovah bae “hot tumas” and bae meltim “evri samting” long world bilong Satan. Diswan mekem iumi tingim Malachi 4:1 wea sei: “Day bae kam wea bone olsem bigfala fire, and evri praod pipol and evriwan wea duim nogud samting mas kamap olsem drae grass. And datfala day wea bae kam bae barava finisim olketa.”

“Earth Witim Olketa Samting wea Man Duim Bae Showaot Klia”

8. Hao nao earth witim olketa samting wea man duim bae “showaot klia”?

⁸ Wanem nao Peter minim taem hem sei “earth witim olketa samting wea man duim bae showaot klia”? Peter minim long taem bilong bigfala trabol, Jehovah bae showimaot klia world bilong Satan barava fit for finis bikos olketa againstim Jehovah and Kingdom bilong Hem. Profet Isaiah story abaotem datfala taem. Isaiah 26:21 sei: “Jehovah kakam from ples bilong hem for mekem pipol long land ansa for olketa sin wea olketa duim againstim hem, and disfala land bae no haedem moa olketa wea olketa killim dae, bat blood bilong olketa bae showaot klia.”

9. (a) Wanem kaen hapitaem nao iumi mas no duim, and why nao olsem? (b) Wanem wei nao iumi mas garem, and why nao olsem?

⁹ Taem day bilong Jehovah kam, wei bilong pipol wea followim tingting bilong disfala nogud world bae showaot klia. Olketa bae killim dae narawan tu. Maet olketa raf hapitaem and movie wea olketa laekem tumas distaem spoelem tingting bilong olketa, wea datwan mekem olketa redi for taem wea Bible sei ‘olketa bae faetem fren bilong olketa.’ (Zech. 14:13) Dastawe iumi mas no lukluk long movie and pleim video game or readim buk or eni nara samting wea maet mekem iumi garem olketa wei wea God no laekem, olsem for praod and raf! (2 Sam. 22:28; Ps. 11:⁠5) Bat iumi mas gohed for garem wei bilong holy spirit, bikos datwan bae protectim iumi long bigfala day bilong Jehovah.​—⁠Gal. 5:​22, 23.

Redi for Bigfala Day Bilong Jehovah

12. Why nao pipol long world bae seke tumas taem day bilong Jehovah kam?

¹² Paul and Peter sei day bilong Jehovah bae kam olsem “man for steal,” so datwan minim hem bae kam long taem wea man no tingim. (Readim 1 Thessalonians 5:​1, 2.) Olketa trufala Christian wea gohed for lukaot for datfala day bae seke tu from hem bae kam kwiktaem. (Matt. 24:44) Bat pipol long world bae barava seke tumas. Paul sei: “Long taem wea olketa [wea againstim Jehovah] sei: ‘Iumi garem peace and stap gud!’ bae seknomoa bigfala trabol hem kam and finisim olketa kwiktaem mekem olketa no savve ranawe. Bae hem olsem woman wea babule wea seke long bigfala pain taem hem redi for bornem pikinini.”​—⁠1 Thess. 5:⁠3.
