2 Peter 3:10-11
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. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

Application: 

The Day of the Lord is an Old Testament concept that describes God’s full judgment of and reconciliation with the world. Peter’s association of the Day of the Lord with Jesus’ second coming further supports the evidence that he identifies Jesus with God Himself. This fits with the imagery from the book of Daniel (Amos 5:18–20; Joel 2).~

The day of the Lord in Scripture is distinguished from the day of man. The former refers to instances when God intervenes in the affairs of man, and the latter to cases in which sinful man appears to be in control of the world. 

The phrase “day of the Lord” refers to distinct divine interventions in various Scripture passages. Here, it refers specifically to the coming great tribulation period when God will govern the affairs of man more directly and openly than he does at present. 

At the end, the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be incinerated (cf. 3:12).

Since the things this world values are to be dissolved in this way, believers should stop focusing on worldly success and achievement. Instead, they should concentrate on holy conduct and godliness (3:11). In other words, we must abandon what is temporary and embrace what is eternal.
