Peter
1:12-13
Therefore
I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of

Peter
3:3-4
…
knowing
this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
4
They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation
.”Slide5
Matthew 24:42
Therefore
, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. Slide6
2 Peter
2:1
But
false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. Slide7
Blum
The
argument of the false teachers is essentially a naturalistic one - a kind of uniformitarianism that rules out divine intervention in history
.Slide8
Hoke
[
Uniformitarianism] is a closed-system model of the universe which does not have room for divine intervention in the space-time continuum. It is the result
of
the prideful thinking of man without God. It has no room for a creation, for supernatural or miraculous occurrences, or for a Second Coming and judgment which brings history, as we know it, to a close
.Slide9
Ecclesiastes
1
:9-10
What
has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.
10
Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us. Slide10
Henry
The
purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they may be active and lively in the work of holiness. There will be scoffers in the last days, under the gospel, men who make light of sin, and mock at salvation by Jesus Christ. Because they see no changes, therefore they fear not God. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will
do.Slide11
2 Peter
3:5-7
For
they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of
God
6
and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. Slide12
2 Peter
3:5-7
7
But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. Slide13
Genesis
1:9
And
God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. Slide14
Matthew 24
:37-39
For
as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
38
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
39
and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Slide15
2 Peter
3:8
But
do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Slide16
Psalm
90:4
For
a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. Slide17
2 Peter
3:9
The
Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Slide18
Romans
11
:25
Lest
you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Slide19
Proverbs 16:4
The
Lord
has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble
