THE END IS NEAR & ONLY PETER EXPLAINS GOD'S PLAN--HOW TO CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OF PROPHECY! (ROK-03)

Here he is at the end of the road. I can see him now with his gnarled fisherman’s hands and the skin of his face and arms still leathery from all his years on boats in the sun, those eyes still piercingly full of zeal.

Peter never lost the wonder of Jesus. He has lived every day with purpose. Jesus had called out to him as a young businessman and said, “Follow Me”; Peter had.

Once the Spirit fell upon him, Peter was consumed with the message of the cross all his days. Now, as he nears the end, Peter writes one last time to keep his beloved fellow saints on track. As he does so, he warns that the coming fires are as catastrophic as the Flood.

Before we read verses 10-18, think about the context. As we saw last time, they lived in the center of all that was Rome. The Empire’s greatness was evident in the monumental temples (many with rows of 10-story-high columns), sprawling bath complexes (some that could hold 3,000 bathers at once), crowded athletic stadiums, acoustically perfect theaters, and bustling marketplaces in Roman provincial Asia.

When it Feels Like the End is Near

As Peter began to write his epistles, those early believers in Asia Minor may have sometimes felt that the end had come, that the antichrist was here, and that they were in the Tribulation. In his first epistle, Peter comforted them about fiery trials, and now, in 2 Peter 3, he assures them that conditions will only worsen until everything is finally consumed and all things are made new.
