Summary

In his second epistle, the Apostle Peter warns that in Israel’s future Tribulation, scoffers will deny Christ’s promised Second Coming. As we find out in this episode, however, Peter reminds them that these scoffers “willingly are ignorant” of God’s past interventions. He explains the “one thing” Israel must remember: God relates to time differently, so what seems like delay is actually His longsuffering, giving people opportunity to repent. Finally, Peter points to the Apostle Paul’s writings, which shows that God’s dispensation of grace explains the temporary postponement of Christ’s return to Israel.
