2Pe 3:3-4 Know this, that there will come in the last days scoffers walking according to their own lusts and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation… Ecc 8:11 Sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil… 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
