2 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.

Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
