The End Is Extremely Nigh Peter reminds his readers that this is
the second letter he's sent to them. (Oh, we remember, Peter.) He's
writing again to let them know that Jesus is going to come back.
For real. Yes, people are saying that he's a little bit behind.
Yes, the disciples thought he would have been here already. What
can we say? Jesus likes to be fashionably late? This is all part of
the end of the world anyhow. Naysayers will pop up and start
trash-talking the second coming. We thought he'd be here already.
You keep telling us he's on his way, but everything's the same as
it always was.Look, scoffers, says Peter, God destroyed the world
once with water. Remember the flood? And Noah's ark? So, why
wouldn't he take the whole place out again? This time he's going to
do it with fire, though. Also, you're forgetting that God doesn't
keep time like humans do. He'll get here, but it won't be by our
clocks, says Peter. Besides, God might be waiting for more people
to come around on this whole Jesus thing. After all, if he gives us
some more time, more folks will be saved from those fires of
destruction. See, that's just sensible. Trust me, he says. The end
of the world will come when we all least expect it. Everything's
going crumble and die, and only the faithful will be left standing.
That means keep the faith, guys. Stay strong, be good, and fight
the good fight, and you totally won't be scorched alive as God
burns the Earth to rubble, okay? Paul also mentioned this stuff in
his letters. Of course, some folks don't know how to properly
interpret a letter, so they're claiming that Paul's writing
supports them. Nope. Paul's on Peter's side all the way…says Peter.
Right, so stay on the good path. Don't stumble and fall as you're
walking along. Love Jesus and everything's gonna come up roses.
Peter out. Peace.
