Scoffers embody a troubling attitude of the last days, marked by a blend of pride and malice. They act with mischievous intent, seeking perverse self-gratification, and their annoyance proves both detrimental and ignorant, often displaying a combative nature. Unlike those who humbly seek true knowledge, scoffers avoid the challenges of growth, remaining steeped in ignorance. Beyond their pride and foolishness, the mockers described in II Peter 3 are characterized by immorality and wickedness, walking after their own lusts. With impudence, they sharply question the promise of His coming, sneering at perceived delays as evidence against fulfillment, ignoring that with Almighty God, all is present and His plan remains current. The increase of scoffers in the world serves as a strong sign of the nearing last days and a warning that they lack God's Holy Spirit. Their denial of the power in the coming of Jesus Christ rejects the unified truth of the prophetic books, the teachings of Jesus in the gospels, and the writings of the apostles, undermining the whole inspired Word of God. These apostate mockers infiltrate the greater churches of God, acting as savage wolves among the flock, treating lightly what should be taken seriously. Like those in Noah's day who scoffed at judgment or the citizens of Sodom who dismissed destruction, modern scoffers blind themselves with a desire to continue in sin, scoffing at doctrines of judgment and the return of the Lord. Their argument rests on the uniformity of the world, claiming that since nothing cataclysmic has occurred, it will not in the future. They willfully ignore evidence, both physical and spiritual, choosing to destroy it rather than confront it. Despite their claims, God's day of judgment will come, and Jesus Christ shall return to establish God's glorious Kingdom. Peter refutes their ignorance by highlighting God's past interventions, such as creation and the Flood, proving His consistent power to act in history. Yet scoffers remain ignorant not only of God's actions but also of His eternal nature and mercy, misunderstanding His delay as human tardiness rather than an opportunity for repentance. Their willful rejection of evidence allows them to persist in sin and scoffing, viewing God through a limited human lens. Peter demonstrates that God's so-called delay is a merciful extension of time for sinners to repent, affirming that the Day of the Lord will arrive unexpectedly, bringing judgment and terror to those who deny His Word.
