2 PETER 3:3-4 TAKE GUARD AGAINST THE SCOFFERS OF THE END TIME

Passage :

2 Peter 3:3-4New International Version (NIV)
³ Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. ⁴ They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

Truths:

1. In the last days scoffers will surely come.
2. They will make fun of the Lord's coming and follow their own desires
3. They mock that Jesus had died 2000 years ago and nothing happened while their ancestors lived and nothing has happened ever since the creation of the world.

Application:

As the end days near we need to be warned of the scoffers who do not believe in the Lord's Second coming. These scoffers are not strong on the promises in the word. Instead they create doubt among the people. They look at the present situation and judge the future. They give no value to God's words spoken through the prophets and disciples.

       I need to be aware of the scoffers and stand against them. I can be able to stand strong only by holding strong on the promises of the Lord through His word.

Prayer:

Father Lord, Enable me to stand strong against these scoffers with the promises you have given through the word. Help the beauty of your return never to fade away in my life. Bless me to help others who have lost their way due to these scoffers and restore them back into your promises. Thank you father for the assurance you have provided your believers and we will hide these promises into the depths of our heart.
