I am close to your assessment. The consuming Fire in 1 Peter is at the end of the millennium correct?

Yes...

2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 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.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2Pe 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

That is a beautiful example of just what we were speaking of earlier: The Bible without the Epistles of Paul, or any mention of him. Until the time Paul is saved, Acts 9, the Kingdom is being preached by Peter and the 11. In Acts 2 they are awaiting the wrath of God to be poured out and the return of Christ to set up His Kingdom. "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:" Acts 2:16.

They knew exactly what was happening and what would happen next. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh..." Acts 2:16-21.

The Spirit had been poured out and they were awaiting the next part of the prophecy to be fulfilled: that "great and notable day of the Lord." His return. But that did not happen.

And in Hebrews we once again pick up where the 12 left off, Israel looking for Messiah to return. Especially in 2 Peter.

What happened during this parenthesis in God's prophecy? Paul. The Church the Body of Christ. The Dispensation of the Grace of God. The One New Man. The Mystery hid in God since the foundation of the world. The heavenly position of believers.

It's just so beautifully laid out. For anyone who cares to study, it's there.
