“the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
2 Peter 2:9-10 KJV
Peter’s warnings are for the coming ungodly generations, “If the Lord Yahweh rescued Lot, He knows how to continually rescue the godly from their trials and to reserve the ungodly for punishment on the day of judgment. And this especially applies to those who live their lives despising authorities and who abandon themselves to chasing the depraved lusts of their flesh. They are willfully arrogant and insolent, unafraid to insult the glorious ones.” There is a doom that awaits the ungodly who do not believe in Jesus Christ, the Saviour. Even though it seems hard to imagine how anyone can be saved yet God knows how to rescue the righteous. The wicked are living under the coming day of judgment, who despise the realms of power and do not tremble with fear when they blaspheme. But the righteous look to Jesus Christ from Whom the power of overcoming every enemy of the Cross is available by faith. The Son of God undid and destroyed every work of the devil through the Cross and gave us the victory. Amen!
