2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
....
I think where many misunderstand about the consuming fire of 2 Pet.3:10 is not having realized the difference between this present world and the world to come.
The KJV word "elements" in 2 Pet.3:10 is not referring to material matter like chemical elements. The Greek word is pointing to a world time, a world order. Indeed it is about man's works being destroyed off this earth, not literally melting the earth into some asteroid belt.
