2 Peter Chapter 2
In chapter 2 of 2 Peter, the Apostle focused on the false teachers that was in their midst. He described them as bringing in destructive heresies and denying the Master. They have unrestrained ways, and the way of truth is maligned. They are greedy. They exploit with deceptive words. They are like irrational animals. They speak blasphemy. They are destructive. They carouse in the daytime. They delight in deceiving others. Their eyes are full of adultery. They are always looking for sin. They seduce people. They promise freedom, yet they are enslaved by corruption. Peter compared them to the angels that sinned, the ancient world, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, to Balaam the son of Beor, springs without water, and mists driven by the wind, and finally to a dog that returns to his vomit and a clean pig that returns to the mud. Peter made it clear that God can rescue believers from people such as this like He did with Noah and his family, as well as Lot. He also made it clear that God's judgement is coming upon the false teachers, and that is certain.
