Back to the Future: The final judgment: Spoken by God

2nd Peter 3:3-7 | Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.” They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

• 2nd Peter 3 says that God will speak the final judgment the same way He did what two other major events? 

• What have you learned happens during the final judgment? 

  • Are there any parts that you have questions about or struggle to believe? If so, what? 

• What are some things “scoffers” (unbelievers or mockers of Christ) say about the final judgment? 

  • If someone said these things to you, how would you respond?

• Why do you think God tells us so much about His return, the final judgment, and even the way unbelievers will act/respond? 

  • How should this information impact the way you live your life now?
