Apostle's reminder of the last days

An Apostle's reminder of the last days

This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, ² that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles. 2 Peter 3:1-2

The Apostle Peter, Fisherman, Follower of Jesus Christ, The head / leader of Jesus' Twelve Disciples and part of the inner three disciples, gives a great reminder of the "last days" and the " Coming of the LORD Jesus" His return to this earth. 

This subject, after it was heard from Jesus and given to the disciples, that they questioned it to Him at his ascension when He was going up to heaven, see Acts 1:6-7, It actually moved them to ask Jesus "when LORD ??" And He told them and Peter is sharing it with us now, in his book of Second Peter Chapter 3.

First, there will come "scoffers" many scoffers who mocks our LORD's return, Notice the definition of a scoffer,  someone who jeers or mocks or treats something with contempt or calls out in derision. Synonyms: flouter, jeerer, mocker Type of: disagreeable person, unpleasant person. a person who is not pleasant or agreeable. 

Needless to say we Christians see this all to often, the doubters and discouragers. They are following their own selfish desires and agendas. Doubting the Jesus' return, but Peter said this would be first.

Really Peter teaches us there will be doubt in the message of His coming and many will say He is delaying the manner of his return. Many will say ," well it has not happened yet !!" Where is it ?? and "when will it be ??"

Then they deliberately overlook the fact that GOD will show judgement on the ungodly.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 
Hebrews 9:27

Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless. II Peter 3:14

Now is the accepting time, today is the day of salvation for you.  Call on the name of the LORD Jesus to be saved.

May the GOD of Heaven bless you,
Rev Dan
