I Peter 4:17 – 5:4I Peter 4:17 – This seems to be talking about the impending destruction of Jerusalem. The second coming of Christ does not fit the time frame or the context of the passage.I Peter 5:1 – The “glory to be revealed” is when the righteous are received in Heaven. Note that “elders” here is plural. We never read of a single elder having oversight over a local church.I Peter 5:2-3 – See Hebrews 13:17. Elders will give an account for the souls of their flock.Ezekiel 34:1-10 – God will hold those responsible who do not properly care for their flock.Elders are to lead and exercise oversight in spiritual matters. Their primary job is not to be business managers.I Peter 5:4 – This unfading crown of glory is that “glory that is to be revealed” from I Peter 5:1.
