Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 3:1-18

Chapter 3Now Peter said this second epistle,Beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles and of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, who are walking after their own lusts ( 2 Peter 3:1-3 ),So he's warned us concerning the false teachers that are going to arise.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Peter 3:1-18

Grotius, with his usual tartness, contends that this is the beginning of a new epistle by Simon, but not Simon Peter. But if so, why did Peter leave the words at the end of the second chapter unclosed, without either greetings or salutations; an abruptness unknown to the apostles. This notion is too vague for refutation. 2 Peter 3:1-2 . This second epistle is, with one undeviating design, to stir up your pure minds to watchfulness and prayer, and that ye may be mindful of the words of... read more

2 Peter 3:1-2This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you.St. Peter’s love tokenI. The nature of it--a letter written. What shall we render to the Lord for His mercy in writing these blessed covenants?II. The number of it--a second after the former. “This second”; not so much fearing the miscarriage of the first, as hoping to work better confirmation by the next.III. The tenor of it--to stir up their minds. Why are the words of the wise compared to goads (Ecclesiastes 3:11) but to show... read more

2 Peter 3:3-4There shall come in the last days scoffers.The character of the last daysI. The personal qualifications of the disputers here described. To be a scoffer is sure no very laudable character, being the joint result of pride and malice, the doing mischief, and the doing it in sport. But as this temper is most injurious, it is also ignorant and indocile. The sure effect of knowledge is an humble sense of the want of it; the deeper we immerse ourselves in any art or science, the greater... read more

2 Peter 3:5-7This they willingly are ignorant of.Willing ignoranceNelson, at St. Vincent, putting the telescope to his blind eye, and swearing that he could not see the signal to cease firing, affords an apt illustration of ninny who, for less worthy motives, will not, because they wish not, see the truth.I. The avowed infidels and atheists. They are willingly ignorant--1. Of the teachings of the Bible which they affect to despise.2. Of the evidences of its Divine origin and inspiration.3.

The Biblical Illustrator - 2 Peter 3:10

2 Peter 3:10The day of the Lord will come as a thief.The day of the LordI. The text first points us to a period advancing rapidly upon us, in the future; and as such differs from any other which may have marked an epoch in the succession of ages since the world began.1. The bright display of the Lord’s attributes which will then be made.2. The affairs of the mediatorial kingdom of grace, the reign of Christ, as such, will then be completed.3. The exhibition of His equity, which will then be... read more
