Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Some mockers think nothing will be done by God concerning the destruction of the world. They will even say, nothing has been done all these years. Peter says such people are willingly ignorant and Peter explains.
II Peter 3 ...3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
By the word of God they perished when God sent the rain for 40 days and 40 nights.
By the same Word of God the heaven and earth are kept in place ... until the end when they will be destroyed by fire.
II Peter 3 ... 8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
The Word of God destroys ... and the Word of God holds things in place temporarily.
The Word of God destroyed Pharaoh in the Red Sea as he foolishly went into the opening made in the sea after the children of Israel, thinking if the children of Israel could go through the Red Sea so could he and his men. The Word destroyed Pharaoh. The Word saved the children of Israel. The Red Sea was used by God as the instrument for destruction and for salvation but it was all done by the same Word of God.
