The Coming Day of the Lord
3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following
after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation.”
Verse 3
This is something to be remembered because it says know first of all.
So, they didn't just need to remember this back then, but we need to remember this today.
This is talking about the last days and that has yet to happen.
In the last days, people (scoffers) will not speak the truth is what this verse is talking about.
The lust they will follow after refers to their own pleasures, living in free indulgence.
20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture becomes a matter of someone’s own
interpretation, 2 Peter 1:20
Verse 4
Where is the promise of His coming refers to what has come of the promise. where is to be
accomplished here on this earth.
and say, “Didn't your Lord promise to come back? Yet the first leaders have already died, and
the world hasn't changed a bit.” 2 Peter 3:4 CEV
The fathers fell asleep refers to death or they had died.
The world will continue as it was.
and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Peter 3:4 ASV
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 3:4 KJ21
19 Who say, “Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see it;
And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know it!” Isaiah 5:19
