Peter 2:4-11
4 For God did not spare even the
angels when they sinned; he threw them into hell, in gloomy caves and darkness
until the judgment day. 5 And God did not spare the
ancient world — except for Noah and his family of seven. Noah warned the world
of God's righteous judgment. Then God destroyed the whole world of ungodly
people with a vast flood. 6 Later, he turned the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah into heaps of ashes and swept them off the face of the
earth. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people. 7
But at the same time, God rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a good man
who was sick of all the immorality and wickedness around him. 8
Yes, he was a righteous man who was distressed by the wickedness he saw and
heard day after day.
9 So you see, the Lord knows how
to rescue godly people from their trials, even while punishing the wicked right
up until the day of judgment. 10 He is especially hard on those
who follow their own evil, lustful desires and who despise authority. These
people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at the glorious ones
without so much as trembling. 11 But the angels, even though
they are far greater in power and strength than these false teachers, never
speak out disrespectfully against the glorious ones. (NLT)
God is a Holy and Just God. As God warned Noah
God has also warned us in His Word that in the end time things will get worse
and worse. But do not fear for God is with you and He watches over you. The Word
tells us to stand firm and to be ready. Be in the Word and be in the world but
not of the world. God is bringing His judgement and the Lord knows how to
rescue His godly people from their trials, even when the ungodly are being
punished. So do not fear for God is with you always even to the end of the age.
Greater is He that is in you then he that is the world. Jesus has conquered all
and the victory has been won.
Jesus has done it all and all has been
accomplished.
