2 Peter 3

1
Judgment Is Certain
Romans 14 11 For it is written As I live,
says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And
every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then
each of us shall give account of himself to God.
2 Peter 3 3 knowing this first that scoffers
will come in the last days, walking according to
their own lusts, 4 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 creation.

Proof - FLOOD
2 Peter 3 5 For this they willfully forget
that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of water and in the
water, 6 by which the world that then existed
perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the
heavens and the earth which are now preserved by
the same word, are reserved for fire until the
day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
3
Proof PROMISE OF GOD
2 Peter 3 8 But, beloved, do not forget this
one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
as some count slackness, but is longsuffering
toward us, not willing that any should perish but
that all should come to repentance.
4
Proof RESURRECTION
Acts 17 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God
overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere
to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on
which He will judge the world in righteousness by
the Man whom He has ordained. He has given
assurance of this to all by raising Him from the
dead.

Arguments Against Flood

• Global Flood Never Happened Before
• - Uniformity of Nature
• Whos Noah? What Are His Credentials?
• Human Reasoning or Philosophy
• Not enough water
• Would God destroy His own creation?
• Innocent creatures Babies Animals?
• False Teachers Claiming No Flood.

What Did Noahs Faith Stand On?
Hebrews 11 7 By faith Noah, being divinely
warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly
fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his
household, by which he condemned the world and
became heir of the righteousness which is
according to faith.
God Had Spoken AND That Was Enough For Noah!!!

Judgment Is Coming!
John 5 26 For as the Father has life in
Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life
in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to
execute judgment also, because He is the Son of
Man. 28 Do not marvel at this for the hour is
coming in which all who are in the graves will
hear His voice 29 and come forth--those who have
done good, to the resurrection of life, and those
who have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation.

Noahs Faith Expressed In Obedience
Genesis 6 13 And God said to Noah, The end of
all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is
filled with violence through them and behold, I
will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make
yourself an ark of gopherwood. 15 And this is
how you shall make it The length of the ark
shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty
cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 17 And
behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the
earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in
which is the breath of life everything that is
on the earth shall die. 22 Thus Noah did
according to all that God commanded him, so he
did.

Obstacles

1. Magnitude of the Task
2. Length of Time Involved
3. Great Expense Time, Money, Effort
4. Public Derision, Ridicule, Mocking
5. Temptation To Change Plans To Quit

Noah Could Not Make What He Was Doing Appear
Rational!!!

True Christianity Is Not Rational To Those In The
World

• Only ONE Church!
• Sins Washed Away In Baptism!
• Only ONE Right Way To Worship!
• The Simple Work of the Church
• Preach Gospel, Edify Body, Help Needy Saints
• The Christian Life! (Sacrificial, Servant of
  Others)
• Law of Christ M-D-R, Homosexuality, Alcohol

God Said.
2 Peter 3 10 But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night, in which the heavens
will pass away with a great noise, and the
elements will melt with fervent heat both the
earth and the works that are in it will be burned
up.
12
Remember Those In Noahs Time
Matthew 24 36 But of that day and hour no one
knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My
Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so
also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38
For as in the days before the flood, they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noah entered the
ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came
and took them all away, so also will the coming
of the Son of Man be.
13
Consider
2 Peter 3 11 Therefore, since all these things
will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought
you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12
looking for and hastening the coming of the day
of God, because of which the heavens will be
dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will
melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we,
according to His promise, look for new heavens
and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these
things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace,
without spot and blameless 15 and consider that
the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation
