Text:

First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following
their own evil desires. 4 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.
