1. Skeptics: willful ignorance, 3:1-9 5 By word and water God created 6 By word andwater God destroyed 7 By word and fire God will destroy Parallels:
2. Watchtower: eternal earth “Shall be found sc. for destruction, i.e., will be unable to hide themselves from the doom decreed them by God, 2 Pet.iii.10” –Th. 10, exposed ASV ftnt: discovered
2. Watchtower: eternal earth “Dissolved”:three times (2 Pt.3:10, 11, 12) “to reduce someth. by violence into its components, destroy… Ac.27:41,stern. Of the parts of the universe, as it is broken up and destroyed in the final conflagra-tion” – BDAG Ps.137:7 Mic.1:6 1 Pt.1:20
3. AD 70 Heresy • Other names: • Realized Eschatology • Preterism • Odd doctrine: • Jesus already returned (AD 70) • Destroyed world (Jewish Age; fall of Judaism) • New heaven & earth: new covenant
Some comings of Jesus 1. Elaborates on Mt.16:18 2. He came to Father, received king-dom (Dn.7:13-14) 3. Parallels Mk.9:1 (Lk.24:49; Ac.1:8; 2) 4. Ac.1-2, Judas was dead Incarnation, Jn.1:14, 17 Pentecost, Mt.16:28
Some comings of Jesus Incarnation, Jn.1:14, 17 Pentecost, Mt.16:28 AD 70, Mt.24:30 Second coming, Mt.25:31; Ac.1:9-11 Judgment on churches, Rv.2:5
Which coming in 2 Pt.3? Nothing in 2 Pt.3 mentions Jewish world or Jerusalem Nothing in 2 Pt.3 mentions a generation as time of fulfillment as does Mt.24:34 Similar language does not prove identical judgments (Gn.40:13…19)
Words of prophets (2 Pt.3:2)2 Pt.3 parallels Isa.13-14, Babylon: Is Babylon’s destructionactually Jerusalem’s (Mt.24)? 5, 9, destroy whole land = 2 Pt. 3:7, 10 6,day of Lord = 2 Pt.3:10 7,melt = 2 Pt.3:10 13, heavens and earth = 2 Pt.3:5,7,10 19, like Sodom = 2 Pt.2:6 14:12, Day Star = 2 Pt.1:19
“In the day” (Babylon, Is.14:3) Mt.10:15? Mt.11:22? Mt.12:36? 1 Co.5:5? “In the day” Is.14:3 –Sodom? Tyre/Sidon? Christ? Mt.10:15, Babylon? Mt.11:22, Babylon? Mt.12:36, Babylon? 1 Co.5:5, Babylon?
“In the day” (Babylon, Is.14:3) Abraham Ro.4:11 “Fatherof all” GodEp.4:6 Mt.10:15, Babylon? Mt.11:22, Babylon? Mt.12:36, Babylon? 1 Co.5:5, Babylon?
Problems for AD 70 If water judgment is literal (7), why not fire? Jesus will come like a thief (10), but saints knew when to flee Jerusalem (Lk.21:20) If new heavens & earth = new covenant (13), when was old covenant formed out of water (5)? Is new covenant reserved for fire (7)?
Peter’s summary: 14: how do you want Lord to find you? 15: this is the accepted time and place 16-17: one soul; one life . . . 18: grow in His favor and knowledge!
