2 PETER 3
This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
– 2 Peter 3:1-7

2 PETER 3 BE WARNED AND LIVE IN THE LAST DAYS
A poem inspired by these verses by ILMA
As you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, be warned of the last days
We are already living in a time where scoffers are all over the place
Remember the prophecies given by God through the prophets
They have spoken of the scoffers who will come to follow their desires
They do not care about what the Lord has done in the past
On purpose, they take for granted what God has done
They do not fear the consequences of their sinful ways
They do not account for anything they do or say
Be warned of these mockers who will twist the word of God
They have no understanding of the true nature of the Lord
Remember to stand on the promises that God gave the prophets
They are to give you hope so you can live in them until his coming
Live for the Lord as if it were the last days, so you can be prepared
Never take for granted the word of God; it leads us to the right path,
