The End Will Come

2 Peter 3:1-7

English Standard Version (ESV)

3 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

The closer it comes to the end, the more we see scoffers, those who laugh and reject the Word of God.  Their end is coming but not by the work of man but by the work of God.  It will come in His perfect timing, not ours.  They may think that evidence points to no God but they are so wrong.  They may think that all they have to live for is themselves but they are mistaken. 

God does not want any of us to suffer, so, He gives us evidence of His existence in many ways, yet people reject Him.  I can look up at the stars and the moon and know that my God created each and everyone of them.  I can stare into space not knowing what more He has created far beyond my eyes.  I can look in a telescope and see things that exist that I never knew existed, yet I still cannot see all that He has created.  There is so much more that He has done that we have no clue of.  I must praise Him, the creator and destroyer of all things. 

I certainly do not want to be on the side of the scoffer when the Lord reveals Himself to all mankind.  When every knee will bow and tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, it won’t be my first time.  I will praise Him on a daily basis for all the great things He has done.  I want my trust and hope to be in Him so I do not have to fear.  Yes, the end will come, fire will destroy, but those who know the Lord will stand forever. 

Seek Him, Know Him, Bow Down and Worship Him, the ONE TRUE GOD.

Seeking Him with all my heart,
