2 Peter 3:3 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Peter 3:3

God’s Promise Is Not Slack

1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which ^aI stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),

2 that you may be mindful of the words ^awhich were spoken before by the holy prophets, ^band of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, ^awalking according to their own lusts,

4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of ^acreation.”

5 For this they willfully forget: that ^aby the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth ^bstanding out of water and in the water,

6 ^aby which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

7 But ^athe heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for ^bfire until the day of judgment and¹ perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and ^aa thousand years as one day.
