Rabbi Loren begins 2 Peter 3 which warns believers about scoffers who deny the promised return of Yeshua . The fact Messiah Yeshua has not returned yet is a reflection of God's merciful patience, granting humanity time to repent before the current universe is completely destroyed in judgment. In light of this truth, Believers should strive to live holy, pure, and peaceful lives as they eagerly anticipate the promised new heavens and new earth.
