Peter’s Warning To Believers

2 Peter 2:1-3

But there were also False Prophets (Unbelievers) among The People, even as There Will BE False Teachers (Unbelievers) among YOU (Believers), who will SECRETLY bring in Destructive Heresies (Satan), even DENYING The LORD (Jesus Christ) Who BOUGHT Them (Unbelievers), and BRING ON Themselves (Unbelievers) Swift Destruction.  And Many (Unbelievers) will follow Their (Unbelievers) Destructive Ways (Satan), because of whom (Unbelievers) The WAY of TRUTH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) will be Blasphemed.  By Covetousness (Satan), They (Unbelievers) will EXPLOIT YOU (Believers) with Deceptive Words (Satan); for a long time Their (Unbelievers) Judgment has NOT been IDLE, and Their (Unbelievers) Destruction does NOT SLUMBER.

2 Peter 2:4-11

For IF GOD (GOD Almighty) Did NOT SPARE the angels (the fallen angels/demons) who SINNED, but CAST them (the fallen angels/demons) DOWN to Hell and DELIVERED them (the fallen angels/demons) INTO Chains of darkness, to be RESERVED for Judgment; AND Did NOT SPARE The Ancient World, but SAVED Noah, One of Eight People, A Preacher of Righteousness, BRINGING IN The FLOOD on The World of The Ungodly (Unbelievers); AND TURNING The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah INTO ASHES, CONDEMNED Them (Unbelievers) to Destruction, MAKING Them (Unbelievers) an EXAMPLE to Those (Unbelievers) who AFTERWARD would Live Ungodly (Unbelievers); and DELIVERED Righteous Lot, who was OPPRESSED BY The Filthy Conduct (Satan) of The Wicked (Unbelievers), for THAT Righteous Man (Lot), DWELLING among Them (Unbelievers), TORMENTED His (Lot’s) Righteous Soul, from day to day, BY SEEING and HEARING Their (Unbelievers) Lawless Deeds (Satan), then The LORD (GOD Almighty) KNOWS How to DELIVER The Godly (Believers) OUT of Temptations and to RESERVE The Unjust (Unbelievers) UNDER PUNISHMENT for The Day of Judgment, and ESPECIALLY Those (Unbelievers) who WALK according to The Flesh (Satan) in The Lust of Uncleanness (Satan) and Despise Authority (Satan).  They (Unbelievers) ARE Presumptuous, Self-Willed (Satan).  They (Unbelievers) are NOT afraid to SPEAK Evil (Satan) of Dignitaries, whereas Angels (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels), Who ARE Greater IN Power and Might, do NOT bring a Reviling Accusation AGAINST Them, BEFORE The LORD (GOD Almighty).

2 Peter 2:12-17

But These (Unbelievers), LIKE Natural Brute Beasts MADE to be CAUGHT and DESTROYED, SPEAK Evil (Satan) of The Things They (Unbelievers) do NOT understand (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), and Will UTTERLY PERISH in Their (Unbelievers) Own Corruption, and Will RECEIVE The Wages of Unrighteousness (The Second Death in The Lake of Fire and Brimstone), as Those (Unbelievers) who Count it Pleasure to Carouse in The Daytime.  They (Unbelievers) ARE Spots and Blemishes, Carousing IN Their (Unbelievers) Own Deceptions (Satan), while They (Unbelievers) feast with YOU (Believers), having Eyes Full of Adultery (Satan) and that can NOT CEASE from sin, ENTICING Unstable Souls.  They (Unbelievers) have a heart TRAINED in Covetous Practices (Satan), and ARE ACCURSED Children (of Satan).  They (Unbelievers) have FORSAKEN The RIGHT WAY (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) and GONE ASTRAY, following The Way of Balaam (Satan), The Son of Beor, who loved The Wages of Unrighteousness (The Second Death in The Lake of Fire and Brimstone); BUT he (Balaam) was REBUKED for his (Balaam’s) iniquity: a Dumb Donkey SPEAKING with a Man’s Voice RESTRAINED The Madness of The Prophet (Balaam).  These (Unbelievers) are wells WITHOUT water, clouds carried by a Tempest, for whom (Unbelievers) IS RESERVED The Blackness of darkness, Forever.

2 Peter 3:1-9

 

Beloved (Believers), I (Peter) now write to YOU (Believers), that YOU (Believers) may be Mindful of The WORDS, which were SPOKEN (The Holy Bible) BEFORE by The Holy Prophets, and of The Commandment of Us, The Apostles of The LORD and Savior (Jesus Christ), KNOWING THIS First: that Scoffers (Unbelievers) will COME in The LAST Days, walking according to Their (Unbelievers) Own Lusts (Satan), and saying, “Where IS The Promise of His (Jesus Christ’s) Coming?  For since The Fathers Fell Asleep (DIED), All Things continue as they (All Things) were from The Beginning of CREATION.”  For THIS They (Unbelievers) WILLFULLY FORGET: that BY The WORD of GOD (GOD Almighty), The Heavens were of Old, and The Earth STANDING OUT of water and IN the water, by which The World that Then EXISTED, PERISHED, BEING FLOODED with water.  BUT The Heavens and The Earth, which are Now PRESERVED BY The SAME WORD, ARE RESERVED For FIRE, UNTIL The Day of Judgment and Perdition of Ungodly (Unbelievers) Men.  BUT, Beloved (Believers), Do NOT Forget This One Thing, that WITH The LORD (GOD Almighty), One Day IS AS A Thousand (1,000) Years, and A Thousand (1,000) Years AS One Day.  The LORD (GOD Almighty) is NOT slack CONCERNING His (GOD Almighty’s) Promise, as some count slackness, BUT IS LONGSUFFERING Toward Us (Mankind), NOT Willing that ANY (Mankind) should PERISH, BUT that All (Mankind) should COME TO REPENTANCE.

 

2 Peter 3:10-13, 17-18

 

BUT The Day of The LORD (GOD Almighty) Will COME, as a Thief in The Night, in which The Heavens Will PASS AWAY with a Great Noise, and The Elements Will MELT with Fervent Heat; BOTH The Earth and The Works that are IN IT (The Earth) Will BE BURNED UP.  Therefore, since All These Things Will BE DISSOLVED, what Manner of Persons OUGHT YOU (Believers) to be in Holy Conduct and Godliness, LOOKING FOR and HASTENING The Coming of The Day of GOD (GOD Almighty), because of which The Heavens Will BE DISSOLVED, being on fire, and The Elements Will MELT with Fervent Heat?  Nevertheless, We (Believers), according to His (GOD Almighty’s) Promise, LOOK FOR New Heavens and a New Earth in which Righteousness DWELLS.  YOU (Believers) therefore, Beloved (Believers), since YOU (Believers) KNOW This BEFOREHAND, BEWARE lest YOU (Believers) also fall from Your (Believers) Own Steadfastness, being Led Away with The Error of The Wicked (Satan); but GROW IN The GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of Our (Believers) LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.  To Him (Jesus Christ), BE The GLORY, BOTH Now and Forever.  Amen.

Fellow Believers, Peter paints a bleak picture, but NOT for Us (Believers), but FOR Unbelievers, FOR All The Enemies of Our (Believers) LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Lake of Fire and Brimstone, also known as The Second Death was Originally CREATED for Satan and his followers, the fallen angels/demons, and NOT Man.  But since Mankind was CREATED and Given Free Will, He (Mankind) also has a Choice, to Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT of Salvation OR to Reject it (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT of Salvation).  IF He (Mankind) Chooses to Reject GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT of Salvation, He (Unbelievers), BY DEFAULT, chooses to be SEPARATED from GOD Almighty, in The Place Created for Satan and his followers, The Lake of Fire and Brimstone (The Second Death), where there will be Endless Weeping and Gnashing of teeth, for Eternity, Forever.

Peter describes, in detail, The Literal Destruction of This (Satan’s) World, BUT also, Gives Us (Believers) GOD Almighty’s Promise, His (GOD Almighty’s) Guarantee of GOD Almighty CREATING a New Heaven and a New Earth, whereby We (Believers) Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children (Believers) of GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever.  Amen.
