Three World Ages pt.2
2 Peter 3:15-18
3:15 He waits for all to come to salvation (longsuffering).
3:16 his: Paul’s. The thing that is most valuable to the people they are ignorant in. These false teachers that claim wisdom in God’s word but know very little.
3:17 beware G 5442; be on guard. Don’t follow fakes. Don’t follow after the things that will be burned up/destroyed (rudiments).
3:18 Grow in the knowledge of Christ (word).
Genesis 1:1-2
1:1 beginning H 7225; the first (in rank, place and time). When did it say He did this? 6,000 years ago? It doesn’t say it only say in the “beginning”. No time is involved, only beginning. This verse is the first earth age, when God destroyed it because of the overthrow of satan.
1:2 was H 1961; became. Void H 922; (bohu), to be empty, void. Without Form H 8414; (tohu), to lay waste, a desolation. (compare 2 Peter 3:5-6, Ezekiel 28). The earth became empty and desolate because God took care of the rebellion of satan. This verse is the second earth age.
Jeremiah 4:19-28
4:19 bowels: my within.
4:20 destruction: this will be at the 7th trump. This destruction will happen again fast (in a moment), as before (once Christ feet touch the Mt of Olives).
4:21 standard H 5251; a signal, a flag, banner. Who is our standard? It should be Christ we represent.
4:22 foolish H 191; perverse, silly. Sottish H 5530; stupid. We see a pattern of people not knowing God and His word and having difficulty in life. Don’t be sottish in Gods word and learn truth.
4:23 without form and void: (tohu va bohu). It refers to Gen 1:2. After God shook the earth, it became void and without form (He did not create it this way).
4:24-26 no man, no animal! All was destroyed so He could give people the choice in the second earth age to see whom they will serve (longsuffering). There were cities in the first earth age.
4:27 He gave all the chance to choose God or satan.
4:28 He purposed it, it happened!
