Wednesday Evening- Pastor Larson- II Peter 3:1-14

In 2 Peter 3:3, the apostle gives a warning to his fellow Christians: “scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.”  He is about to teach them about the return of Jesus. There are “scoffers,” he says. Literally, the text says “scoffers in their scoffing.” They doubt God, they […]

Scoffers may mock, false teachers may twist the truth, and the world may continue as if nothing will ever change, but Peter calls believers to remember the Word, trust the promise, and live holy lives while we wait.2 Peter 3 reminds us that everything temporary will one day be dissolved, but righteousness will dwell forever with God's people. Prophecy is not given to satisfy curiosity; it is given to produce holiness. So today, read 2 Peter 3 and live like Jesus could return today—because one day, He will.

(This podcast was previously published on August 16, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   2 Peter 3   1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:   2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:   3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,   4 And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.   5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:   6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:   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.   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.   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.   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.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 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 3:3-7 KJV)

We look at 2 Peter 3 and Genesis 2, about the creation of man, the rise of scoffers, and the historicity of Scripture. This message explains how the flood and the fall shape our world, affirms the Trinity and humanity's unique design, and warns of coming judgment while urging faith in Christ and holy living.

Peter closes out his letter with an exhortation not to be led astray by scoffers who mock the belief that Christ will return and establish His reign of righteousness. He assures his readers that, just as God destroyed the previous creation with a flood, He will destroy the present one by fire and create a new heaven and earth.

By Tim Martens - Built into the New Testament mission of the church to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, bringing in disciples of Christ, and preparing them for the return of Jesus, is the instruction on how to respond to naysayers, providing wisdom in how the church carries out that mission.

End-time Bible prophecy is the most debated topic among Christians in all of scripture. Healthy debate is good, but a dangerous, unbiblical precedent is being set. End-time Bible prophecy is being attacked from within the church by supposed shepherds.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 78 In 2 Peter 3, we read about "scoffers" or "mockers" coming in the last days. Some modern prophecy writers accuse preterists of being these "scoffers." Gary disputes this claim by using the Bible to interpret itself and also by recognizing the Bible's own timing of when the last days take place.

The Day of the Lord ever hastens closer . . . but why hasn't it come yet?  When nearly 2000 years have passed from when Jesus said He'd return, what are we supposed to think when He hasn't yet?  Craig and Troy finish up with Peter's 2nd epistle.

2 Peter series message 11Text: II Peter 3:1-7Peter reinforces our need to be sober minded. Scoffers will come, mocking the notion of Jesus' coming. In doing so, they deliberately overlook the fact that God has already judged the world in the great flood, and will do it again with fire.

Main Theme: God is both Savior and Restorer, calling His people to remain steadfast in hope, truth, and repentance while warning against false voices and spiritual apathy in the last days. The study of Zechariah 9–10 connected ancient Israel's restoration to God's prophetic promises being fulfilled in our time. Opening Focus — “Prisoners of Hope” (Zechariah 9:11–12) Pastor Matthew opened with prayer and the reminder that the Lord is longsuffering and merciful, calling believers to follow His will. Zechariah 9:11–12 declares God's promise: “Because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope.” The phrase “prisoners of hope” was highlighted as a declaration of certainty, not uncertainty. In Greek (elpis), “hope” means expectation without a question mark — because our confidence is in Jesus, not circumstance. No matter how “caged up” we feel, believers are never without hope if they trust the Lord. Lesson: “God's people are not prisoners of despair — we are prisoners of hope.” God the Savior and Restorer God's character is revealed as both Deliverer and Restorer. Like Job, who endured affliction but received double restoration, Israel too would be redeemed and multiplied. God not only saves from destruction but restores what was lost. “You're not allowed to use God and ‘can't' in the same sentence — unless you're talking about sin.” Key Thought: The only thing God cannot do is sin. He can save, heal, and restore anything that's broken. Warnings Against False Shepherds and Idols (Zechariah 10:2) Zechariah warned that idols and false prophets speak delusion and comfort in vain, leading people astray because “there is no shepherd.” Pastor compared this to modern deception — preachers who tell people only what they want to hear. “People don't want a doctor who lies about a tumor, or a financial advisor who hides disaster. But many want a preacher who tells them what they want instead of what they need.” Application: The absence of godly leadership creates confusion and loss. True shepherds preach repentance and righteousness, not comfort and compromise. Parallels to the Last Days — 2 Peter 3 Pastor connected Zechariah's message to 2 Peter 3, describing the same pattern in the last days: Scoffers will deny judgment and live by their own desires. Many will forget the past judgment (the Flood) and ignore the coming one (by fire). The world will not end by human means (like climate change), but by God's sovereign decision. “The world will not end because of warming or cooling — it will end because God brings it to a close.” The Danger of Misreading God's Longsuffering People misinterpret God's mercy as apathy or approval. God delays judgment to give time for repentance — not because He's asleep or indifferent. Israel's repeated disobedience led to captivity because they mistook mercy for permission. “The mystery isn't that God will judge — the mystery is that He hasn't already.” Examples: Nations and individuals fall when they take grace for granted. The sins of abortion, abuse, greed, and deceit invite judgment; only repentance delays it. God's Desire for Repentance and Salvation Pastor reflected on 2 Peter 3:9 — “The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” God's longsuffering aims to save even the worst sinner, illustrated through: Manasseh — the most wicked king of Judah, who repented after 55 years and was forgiven. Barabbas — the murderer set free while Jesus took his place. “Jesus carried the very crossbeam Barabbas had prepared for himself. The cleanest man who ever lived took the place of the worst man in the culture.” Insight: God's mercy reaches even those we think beyond saving. No one is too far gone. The True Shepherd Restores His People (Zechariah 10:3–12) God's anger burns against false shepherds, but He promises to raise up the Good Shepherd — the Messiah, Jesus Christ. “From Him comes the cornerstone, the tent peg, the battle bow, every ruler together.” God promises to strengthen Judah, save Joseph, and bring back His scattered people. The prophecy of Israel's return to the land — scattered “among the nations” — is being fulfilled before our eyes. Pastor noted that since 1948 (Israel's rebirth) and 1967 (Jerusalem's restoration), God has been gathering His people home from every nation. “We're the generation seeing prophecy fulfilled — God is bringing His people home.” Closing Exhortation The study ended with thanksgiving for God's faithfulness and mercy. Pastor urged believers to: Stay grounded in truth, not comfort. Honor Israel, for God blesses those who bless her. Live ready, because the Lord's return will be sudden — “as a thief in the night.” “Everything in this world will be dissolved, but those who walk in righteousness will dwell in His new heaven and new earth.” Core Message God's mercy delays judgment, not cancels it. Hope in Christ is absolute, not uncertain — we are prisoners of hope. False voices bring delusion; truth brings restoration. The true Shepherd, Jesus, gathers His people for eternal peace. Prophecy is unfolding before our eyes — live holy, alert, and full of hope.

Scoffers will arise in the last days, following their own sinful desires and questioning the promise of Christ's return. They will deliberately ignore that God once judged the world through the great flood and that He will one day judge it again, this time by fire. Peter explains that the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise but is patient, giving time for all to come to repentance. The day of the Lord will come like a thief, without warning, and the natural creation will be destroyed. Therefore, believers are called to live holy and godly lives as they look forward to the eternal home of righteousness.  As we anticipate the return of Christ, we anchor our hope in His promise, knowing that His timing is perfect. Though the world may mock or ignore the truth, we trust that God is patient and merciful, allowing more people to turn to Him. This truth shapes how we live each day. We do not cling to the temporary things of this world because we know they will pass away. The natural world will be destroyed, but God is preparing a new heaven and a new earth filled with righteousness. We strive to live holy and peaceful lives, growing in grace and truth so that when He returns, we will be found faithful and ready to dwell with Him forever.  Creator God, thank You for Your patience and mercy in giving many the time to turn to You. Help us to live with holy hearts as we await the return of Christ. Teach us to seek the truth, grow in grace, and stand firm when others doubt Your promises. Remind us that this world is not our final home and that You are preparing a new heaven and a new earth for kingdom citizens. May we remain faithful and watchful, ready to meet You. Lead us to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   Thought Questions: -       If someone is determined to pursue their own desires, how will this affect their perception of God and His promised day of judgment?   -       What truths about God, His judgment, and His return do so many people overlook? How do you stay ready for His coming? -       If everything physical will be destroyed when Christ returns, how should this impact the way you prioritize and live your daily life?

2 Peter 3:1-13 When was the last time remembering something important brought you back to clear thinking? Scoffers will come How do you respond to the promise of the Lord's coming? The Lord will come Why do we struggle with God's timing? The End will come What sort of people ought we to be?

A Warning To All Scoffers of The Last Days ! - The Book of Ezekiel - Chapters 19-20 - 2025 Study by Shawn Ozbun

The Day of the Lord is coming. We don't know when. But Jesus is returning and so we must commit to living with purpose and pursue truth in all things as we wait for His arrival.If Jesus were coming back tomorrow, how would your today be different?Know the Scriptures and know the God you serve. Know his desires for your life. To love God with all your heart and to love others the same way.Before Jesus comes again, many will come in his name but will only be serving themselves.God's word is final. What he says will be - and it is. Scoffers disregard God's Word and what has been, and claim that God is inactive.What is immediacy for an eternal God? One who is slow to anger, quick to forgive, and patient with his creation, desiring that they not perish?Knowing that God is coming back should inspire all of us to live lives of holiness and godliness.2 Peter 3, Matthew 24:3-5, 2 Timothy 3:1-5

The book of Jude warns us about the dangers of last days 'scoffers' who follow their own ungodly desires and create division within the church. We're called to build each other up in our most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the crucial role of community in our spiritual growth. The message challenges us to shift from praying out of our heads to praying from our hearts, where the Spirit dwells. As we wait for Christ's return, we're encouraged to be merciful to those who doubt and to 'snatch others from the fire' - a powerful image of rescue and redemption. This ties into the story of Joshua the high priest from Zechariah 3, reminding us that God can cleanse us from our past and position us for greatness, despite the enemy's accusations.
