You
must know and understand this ,
That
Scoffers (mockers) will come
IN THE
LAST DAYS WITH SCOFFING;
[People
who ] walk after their own Fleshly Desires.
And
saying,
WHERE
IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING?
For
since the forefathers fell asleep,
All
things have continued exactly
As
they did from beginning of Creation.
FOR
THEY WILFULLY OVERLOOK AND FORGET THIS [FACT],
That
the Heavens [came into] existence long ago
BY THE
WORD OF GOD,
And an
Earth also which was formed out of water
And by
means of water.
Through
which the World that then [existed]
WAS
DELUGED WITH WATER AND PERISHED.
[Gen.
1:6-8; 7:11.]
BY
THAT SAME WORD
THE
PRESENT HEAVENS AND EARTH
HAVE
BEEN STORED UP (RESERVED) FOR FIRE,
BEING KEPT
UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND
DESTRUCTION OF UNGODLY PEOPLE.
Nevertheless
do not let this One Fact Escape you,
Beloved,
that with the Lord
ONE
DAY IS A THOUSAND YEARS
AND A
THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY. [Ps. 90:4.]
The
Lord does not Delay and be Tardy or Slow
About
what He Promises,
According
to some people's conception of slowness,
But He
is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient)
Toward
you,
NOT DESIRING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH,
But
that All should Turn to Repentance.
(2
Peter 3:3-9, AMP)
