Hi Lupac,
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition (apōleia) of ungodly men.
Many other translations have that word "perdition" as "destruction."
2Pe 3:7 While, the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word, have been stored with fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction (G684 apoleia) of the ungodly men. (Rotherham)
Here are the ways the King James uses the word apoleia.
G684 apōleia; from G622; destruction, loss: - destruction (13), destructive (1), perdition (1), perish (1), waste (1), wasted (1).
You will notice that is word 'apoleia is derived from G622 - apollumi. Here is how it is used in the King James.
G622 apollumi; to destroy, destroy utterly: - bring (1), destroy (17), destroyed (9), dying (1), end (1), killed (1), lose (10), loses (7), lost (14), much (1), passed away (1), perish (14), perishable (1), perished (4), perishes (1), perishing (6), put to death (1), ruined (3).
So you can see they are closely related words and yes Jesus came to save all and none will be left out.
Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction (G684 apoleia), and there are many who go in by it.
Here are a few emails to explain what this "destruction" means.

"Destruction" has absolutely nothing to do with someone not being saved. In fact, "destruction" is an absolute PRE-REQUISITE to being saved. Jesus came SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of saving those who are "destroyed."
The words: "destruction," "perish" and "lost" all come from the very same ONE Greek word: "apollumi."
In Matt. 10:28 where Jesus says to "fear Him Who is able to DESTROY both soul and body..." the word for destroy is "apollumi."
In Matt. 18:24 where Jesus says that His Father is not will any any of these little ones should PERISH..." the word for perish is "apollumi."
In Matt. 15:24 where Jesus says that He was send to the LOST sheep of the house of Israel only" the word for lost is "apollumi."
Destruction, perish, and lost, all come from the same one Greek word "apollumi."
Now then, with that said, what did Jesus say concerning all those who are "apollumi?" Here is what He said: "For the Son of man is come to SAVE that which is APOLLUMI [lost]" (Matt. 18:11).

What we must understand is that destruction, perishing, and being lost are not the final destiny of anyone, but rather the proper position to be in, in order to be SAVED. Jesus came to SAVE those that are lost. The word translated lost is also translated perish and destroy.
EVERYONE is destined to be lost, destroyed or perished in this lifetime except for the chosen elect who will be resurrected at Christ's presence and reign with Him. The broad way always leads to destruction. None those destined for destruction are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
That is the very reason why they must go through the lake of fire.

It is wrong to assume that death ends all possibility of being saved for the wicked. That is unscriptural heresy. Judgment will bring about the largest salvation of humanity in the history of the world. In Isaiah 57:1 we learn that, "THE RIGHTEOUS PERISH...." So is that the final destination of "the RIGHTEOUS? I think not.
The broad way leads to DESTRUCTION. The word "destruction" is derived from the Greek word "apollumi" which means to DESTROY, LOSE, PERISH. And Jesus plainly (I say plainly to all those who have an ear to hear) told us that His purpose in coming for His Father (I John 4:14) is stated: "For the Son of Man is come to SAVE THAT WHICH IS LOST [Gk: 'appolumi'] (Matt. 18:11). There it is. Jesus came to save all those who are 'appolumi,' which is most of humanity. Of course most Christians believe that He either LIED, or that He is INCAPABLE, or worse, DOESN'T WANT to save those who are 'appolumi'--LOST.
Ya know, we could put those two Scritures closer together and then it would make perfect sense, but OH how Christian zealots hate to put Scriptures together. They call it "taking Scripture out of CONTEXT). But as I really don't care what unscriptural Christians think, here goes:
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to DESTRUCTION [but]...the Son of Man is come TO SAVE that which is LOST [by foolishly going in at the broad gate and are now, appolumi" (Matt. 7:13 & 18:11). There are literally hundreds more Scriptures which prove this teaching of the salvation of all.
