Today’s chapter is different. These people are looking around and thinking that because everything looks so steady and sure, it is going to go on forever. And people today are saying and thinking the same thing.
V.1-2 Sweet whispers of tenderness for us.
V.3-4 The unsaved scoffers, because everything seemed stable, said that the Lord would never come back and change things.
V.5-7 God reminds them (and us) that they were forgetting the flood!
V.8 Little things and great things are alike to the Lord. One day is like a thousand years to Him.
V.9 The Lord is not careless about His promise to come back. He waits because He does not wish anyone to perish.
V.10 This is referring to the Lord’s coming to snatch away the unbelievers. Just the opposite to the first coming.
V.11-18 Seeing all these things are going to come to pass, what holy people we should be!
V.17-18 We need to be very careful whom we listen to. And to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
