Christ isn’t coming back to earth.

So much for the entire book of 2 Peter, then. Any other Scripture you tend to toss out?

“So much for the entire book of 2 Peter, then. Any other Scripture you tend to toss out?”

Just as Revelation was written to the seven churches in Asia Minor, AND NOT TO US, Peter didn’t write his letters to us, either.

This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 Peter 3:1 (NASB)

Second letter “to you?” Hmmm...Guess we better see to whom he addressed the first letter, huh?

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia...1 Peter 1:1 (NASB)

If you’re a Bithnyian and lived almost 2,000 years ago, then yes, this letter was written to you.

If not, be careful how you apply it to today.
