2 Peter 3:3-4 KJV
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
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.
Knowing this first. Of all that the prophets and apostles (note that Peter places the written words of the apostles on the same plane as the prophets. Later in this chapter he will especially acknowledge Paul) we should know first about the coming of the Lord.
It will be mocked in the world.
It will happen in the good time of the Lord.
His perspective on time is different and I might add, much higher than ours.
It should lead to our holy conversation.
Its delay is the opportunity for the salvation of others.
