| Creator | Malan, Gert | |
| Description | The metaphor "Day of the Lord" in 2 Peter and death marginal experience. The apocalypical eschatological concept of the day of the Lord as used in Peter 3:10 is an example of analogical or metaphorical language. With in the context of the delay of the parousia, and 2 Peter's unique depiction of this event, understanding of what this metaphor may mean is of importance. As a metaphor, the expression "day of the Lord" should be understood in terms of its literal (temporal) as well as its figurative meaning (as grand finale). An investigation of the core values present in 2 Peter 3, namely ἃγιος and ἀδικία, sheds further light on the meaning of this metaphor. With it the author makuse of death as a marginal experience that invokes fear and anxiey, in ordto encourage opponents to accept the ethics proposed in the text. | |
