Peters testamony in 2 pet 3, seems to support a Amillenialist view.
The Day of the Lord is heavily associated with the lords promise of his coming...as a theif, as it was in the days of Noah.
But the events of this day that they all looked to , was the passing away of the old earth and heavens, and looking to the new Heavens and the New earth, which equals the New Jerusalem.
Peter is not looking to a millenial reign, but the new H & E, where righteousness dwells.
It appears to me that the second coming is when the Heavens and earth disappear, and according to Revelation ,that happens after the millenium.
Jesus taught that his coming would be as it was in Noahs day, and that heaven and would pass away, but his word/promise wouldnt.
In Noahs day, noone survived but the elect, and so it will be in the day the son of man is revealed.
Rev 22
"Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
Act 17
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,
because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
