II Peter 2:1 Warnings Against False Teachers SUMMARY OF II Peter 2: False Prophets and False Teachers. The Judgment on the Fallen Angels. Judgment on the Antediluvians. The Perverseness of Wicked Men. The Example of Balaam, the Son of Beor. There were false prophets. The true prophets are referred to in II Peter 1:19. Here the false prophets are spoken of in contrast. The term "false prophet" occurs several times in the Old Testament. For example, see Jeremiah 5:31 6:13 8:10. Christ foretells the rise of false prophets (Matthew 24:24). Among the people. Israel is meant. Even as there shall be false teachers among you. Teachers of false doctrines. Paul often warns against such teachers. See Acts 20:30. Who privily shall bring in damnable heresies. "Destructive heresies" (Revised Version). Party divisions caused by false teaching. A heresy is a schism, or that which tends to produce schism. Even denying the Lord that bought them. This is the culmination of false teaching in the church and has been fulfilled by those professedly Christian teachers who reject the divinity of Christ and the atoning power of his blood. And bring upon themselves swift destruction. Sudden destruction.
