Scoffers

First of 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? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.   II Peter 3:3-10

The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.   Jeremiah 23:20-21

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.   Isaiah 64:6

another comes and goes,

false prophets,

speaking of ancient mysteries

they know nothing about,

spreading messages of doom,

putting words in the mouth of God,

feeding pride and egos

that have nothing to do

with truth;

the children of darkness

begin to celebrate,

scoffing and mocking,

forgetting that for us all the last day

is only a heartbeat away;

when you stand before a holy and righteous God,

will it matter whether the world has ended

or because you have breathed

your last breath?

will all your goodness and kindness,

which are but filthy rags before the Lord,

save you from a fate you so

undeniably deserve?
