2 Peter 2. Having recommended the sure word of Scripture to enlighten his readers in the dark age until Christ returns, Peter speaks of the false prophets who will keep seeking to lead people away from Christ. They will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them. Peter warns his readers not to follow them. They are on the path to sure destruction.
- Just like the fallen angels who deceived the world during Noah’s time, and are now chained in Tartarus, awaiting judgment and destruction (4).
- Just like the world who rejected Noah’s gospel – so saw destruction in the flood (5).
- Just like the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah (6-10).
- Just like dogs returning to their vomit, or sows returning to wallow in the mire (22).
LORD, protect us from the words of those whose Christian profession is not genuine. They are heading for annihilation, and we do not want to join them.
