"...knowing this first,
that scoffers will
come in the last days,
walking according to their own lusts, and
saying,
'Where is the promise of his coming?'"
2 Peter
3:3-4
It's amazing that this Scripture, written 2,000 years
ago, accurately prophesied what the conditions would be like in "the
last days." To say our generation is a generation of "scoffers"
is an understatement. They scoff at everything God has said. Not only
do they scoff at the idea of creation, they have the audacity to
forbid that the truth of creation be taught in our schools. Not only
do they scoff at the criminality of abortion, but they enact laws
protecting the "right" to murder children.
If you're
a believer in the Word of God, you're going to be scoffed
at.
"Therefore, since all these things will be
dissolved,
what manner of persons ought you to be
in holy
conduct and godliness,
looking for and hastening the coming
of
the day of God, because of which
the heavens will be dissolved,
being on fire,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat?"

Peter 3:11-12
They scoff at the teaching about the flood of
Noah, when God put an end to the evil of that day. But scoffing will
be ended when this world and all the evil in it will be destroyed,
not by water this time but by fire.That's easy enough to
foresee, with the proliferation of nuclear armaments all over the
world. They're not creating nuclear bombs for nothing - little do
they know that these very armaments will bring this world to its
final judgment, when all scoffers will have no more to scoff at.
The
Word of God is the truth. Those who reject it - will be lost. Those
who accept it will be scoffed at. Just as Jesus Christ was.
