Scoffers in the Last Days
2 Peter 3:3-6 says, "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. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
What's really crazy is this- many make fun of the Bible without realizing they are fulfilling the very prophecies that the Bible has said about them, even before they came to existence. The very Book they try to debunk is really debunking them. The issue is that in Romans 1:18-32 on God's wrath against sinful men- they had the knowledge of God that He existed yet they did not like to retain it, they chose to live their OWN SINFUL way. The Bible always agrees with itself, man's own standard does not as they keep making up their own moral standard which sets a double standard which goes as this, "Follow as I say but not as I do." That was one of the many faults of the Pharisees and today, works salvation preachers are in that condition. It's because they are not saved by faith, by trying to get themselves saved by their works, they really have no real standard to measure righteousness by.
So today, Christians are really suffering from mockery one way or another. Is it surprising? Jesus warned throughout the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that the world will hate Christians. What is worse is that there will be some who are murdering Christians in the name of God. The persecutors have mocked Christians saying, "Where is Christ, let Him deliver you!" especially during the Dark Ages where the Inquisition killed people for their faith in Jesus Christ, while claiming that they were killing the 'heretics' in the name of Jesus Christ. Talk about STUPID! It's not surprising remembering the fact that people ridiculed the Lord Jesus Christ as He hang on the cross telling them to ask God to save Him from the cross since He said He is the Son of God. Today the world lives by its own standards, not by God's standards.
Also in the world today, many of the unsaved live like as if the world was always there. The very subject of humanism has dangerously clouded people into believing that there is no God and that man is but a product of random accidents. Atheism has caused societies of the world to live life as if there is no afterlife. The mottoes of today's world are simply based on pleasure, live for today, just be good (according to worldly standards that is... heh heh), Christians are losers and that get rid of God in the thinking for unlimited human progress. As much as they hate the Bible, they are fulfilling the prophecies of the Bible proving them wrong and the Bible is still right.
Like in the days of Noah, the events above happen like as if the world will not come to an end. People laughed at Noah for warning them about the judgment that was going to hit the world. They laughed and they laughed and when 100 years ended, it came and destroyed them all sending them to Hell. Today, the judgment is even more severe. After the Christians are taken out of the way giving the scoffers what they want, they will experience the seven years of the Antichrist which many will think is unlimited human progress but God will kill their joy when seven years are over... taking over the very Earth He created. And what a horrible day will it be when every word they heard from God's witnesses will be used against them at the Great White Throne.
