WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING

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)
