OK. Well, like Hebrews says some of the good things coming are already here. 9:11. They "are" but they are "to come." Praise God for justification from our sins through Christ!

I don't doubt that...but not in reference to 2 Peter 3.
This is improper correlation of the scriptures. Nothing is presumed by BW. He simply makes the point that Peter isn't speaking of AD 70...and he isn't.
No sir...the Mosaic covenant isn't even in view in this passage.
No. This has NOTHING to do with the Mosaic Covenant...nothing.
As for whether it is about 70 AD: the plain meaning of Mt 24 & //s is that the total end of the world would happen right after the DofJ. Prob many people in Judea that thought was the end of the world! But the type of answer Peter is giving is about the coming, which would have been right after that, and the delay is explained because it needed to be. This all seems very normal but I'm open to finding something wrong with the picture.
At least I don't think anyone thinks the coming is the first coming. I don't think Peter would have gone into detail about the end of time and the new earth if it had.
The latter times as exprressions go is no reason to leap to (our) future.
