"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after 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 the creation."

2 Peter 3:3-4

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after 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 the creation."

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?”"

"Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires."

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

Highlights the signs of the end times, such as wars and natural disasters, encouraging believers not to fear but to remain faithful.

"Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."

Reminds believers to stay alert and prepared for Christ’s return, emphasizing readiness.

"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."

Warns believers to be vigilant, as the coming of the Lord will be sudden and unexpected.

"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time."

Foretells a time of great tribulation before God's final victory.

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."

Emphasizes the importance of vigilance and prayer, as the exact time of end is unknown.

🙏 Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Word that reveals Your plan for the end times. Help us to remain vigilant and faithful, trusting in Your promises. Give us wisdom to understand the signs of the times and strength to live righteously. Lord, guard our hearts against fear and doubt, and fill us with hope in the return of Jesus Christ. May we be diligent in sharing the Gospel and living lives that honor You. Prepare us for Your coming, and help us to be found faithful when that day arrives. We pray for Your mercy upon the world, that many may come to know You before the final day. Keep us steadfast in faith, and may Your kingdom come quickly. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
