Hi Kelli,

2Pe 3:7  But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Yes indeed the "whole creations" is waiting for "the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Rom 8:22). The word 'galaxies' would be more appropriately as "heavens" I believe, as in the heavenly realm (spirit beings), as well as the earthly realm (physical being) will undergo the "fire... of judgement"

2Pe 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

This is figurative langauge here, as we know that the fire this is speaking of is spiritual, not literally fire that will do away with and bring to an end the universe. We have all this symbolic wording in Scripture for there to be the deception, as Jesus said "seeing (as it's right there in the Scripture) they do not see (understand the truth)."

2Th 2:11  And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

Just thought I would add to your comment  :)

mercy, peace and love

Is 2 Peter 3:5-7 to be understood literally? What in the literal heavens is burnable? What would fire do to the already hot stars?

L. Ray Smith spoke much on this subject. Of course the literal fire burns physical things. But what does Spiritual fire burn. What are the effects? I know the answer......as do all whom our Father reveals these things.....

Fight fire with fire! Well ya that is not a physical fire huh? Nor is the lake of fire, or the fire we will all be tested with our works, or the fiery trials we will all be going through, nor is the fire we will be salted with, and the Spirit to which baptism happens, oooo and my favorite the flaming sword that guards the tree of life. Fire fire everywhere! We know the outcome of a physical fire. Spiritual fire which our Father claims he is a consuming fire! Give me this fire.
