Last day scoffers

 

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? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. – 2 Peter 3.3-7

 

In the last days, our days, scoffers pop up scoffing at God and mocking Him and saying ‘when is He coming back? Nothing has changed in the world and it just keeps going on and going on.

 

These folks choose to ignore the fact that God created all things by the word of His power. I think that is why the concept of God’s creation is under assault. If they can find a way to ignore God they can, they think, free themselves from guilt. The easiest way to forget about God is just to paint Him out of the picture. Then they think they can scoff without fear.

 

What can we do? All we can do is try to keep shining our light and love others to help them overcome their reluctance to acknowledge Him.

 

It is at the stage where virtually no one accepts creation. To do so would force them to accept God. To accept God would that we are not in control. So they laugh and mock and scoff.

 

But the day is coming when God is going to act. The waiting we are doing is the result of God’s patience with man.
