| 2 Peter | | Simon Peter, a Servant, and Apostle, of Elohim, to those, who through the Righteousness, of our Lord, and Savior, Yeshua, the Messiah, have been made Equal, with us, in the Precious believing. Grace, and Peace, be Multiplied to you, through the Knowledge, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, as the giver to us, of all things, that be, of the Power, of Elohim, unto Life and the Fear, of Elohim, through the knowledge, of him, who has called us, unto his own Glory, and Moral Excellence. Wherein he has given you, very Great, and Precious Promises, that by them, you might become Partakers, of the Nature, of Elohim. While you flee, from the Corruptions, of the Lusts, that are in the World, and while you, Apply all Diligence, in the matter, Add to your believing, Moral Excellence, and to Moral Excellence, knowledge, and to knowledge, Perseverance, and to Perseverance, Patience, and to Patience, the Fear, of Elohim, and to the Fear, of Elohim, Sympathy, with the Brotherhood, and to Sympathy, with the Brotherhood, love. For while these, are found in you, and Abounding, they render you, not Slothful, and not Unfruitful, in the knowledge, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. For he, in whom these things, are not Found, is Blind, and Sees not, and has Forgotten the Purgation, of his former Sins. Therefore my Brothers, be all the more eager, to make your Calling, and Election sure, for if you do these things, you will never Fall, and you will receive, a Rich welcome, into the Eternal Kingdom, of our Lord, and Savior, Yeshua, the Messiah. So I will always, remind you, of these things, even though you, know them, and are firmly Established, in the Truth, you now have. I think it is Right, to Refresh your Memory, as long as I Live, in the Tent, of this Body, because I know, that I will soon, put it aside, as our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, has made clear, to me, and I will make every effort, to See, that after my Departure, you will always, be able to Remember, these things.
For we, have not gone, after Fables, Artfully Framed, in making known to you, the Power, and coming, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, but it was after we, had been Spectators, of his Majesty. You having the previous knowledge, that no Prophecy, is an Exposition, of its own Text, for at no Time, was it by the pleasure, of Man, that the Prophecy came, but Holy Men, of Elohim Spoke, as they were moved, through the Power. But there also, were False Prophets, among the People, even as there will be, False Teachers, among you, who will bring in Destructive Heresies, Denying our Lord, who has Redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves, swift Destruction, many will follow, their Shameful ways, and will bring the way, of Truth, into Disrepute, in their greed. These Teachers, will Exploit you, with Stories they have made up, their Condemnation, has long been Hanging, over them, and their Destruction, is always Active. For if Elohim, did not spare Angels, when they Sinned, putting them into gloomy Dungeons, to be held, for Judgment, if he did not spare, the Ancient World, when he brought the flood, on its Ungodly People, but Protected Noah, a Preacher, of Righteousness, and Seven others, if he Condemned the Cities, of Sodom, and Gomorah, by Burning them, to Ashes, and made them an Example, of what is going to happen, to the Ungodly. And if he rescued Lot, a Righteous Man, who was distressed, by the Filthy Lives, of Lawless Men, for that Righteous Man, Living among them, Day, after Day, was Tormented in his Righteous Soul, by the Lawless Deeds, he Saw, and Heard.
If this Yahweh, knows how to Rescue, from Afflictions, those, who Fear him, and he will Reserve the Wicked, for the Day, of Judgment, to be Tormented, and especially them, who go after the Flesh, in the Lusts, of Pollution. And Despise Government, Daring, and Arrogant, they Shudder not, with Fear, while they Blaspheme, whereas Angels, Greater then they, in Might, and Valor, do not bring upon themselves, the Condemnation, of Blasphemy, but these Men, as Natural Brute Beasts, made for Slaughter, and Destruction, speak Evil, of the things, which they do not Understand. And will utterly Perish, in their own Corruption, they being Persons, with whom Iniquity, if the Reward, of Iniquity, and by them, Rioting in the Daytime, is accounted Delightful Defiled, and Full, of Sports, are they Indulging themselves, at their ease, while they give themselves up, to pleasure, and have Eyes Full, of Adultery, and of Sin, that does not cease, Beguiling Unstable Souls, are they, whose Minds, are well Versed, in Covetousness, accursed Sons, are they, who have Forsaken, the Right Path, and are gone Astray, Following the way, of Balaam, the Son, of Beor. Who loved the Wages, of Iniquity, and who had for the Reprover, of his Transgression, a Dumb Ass, which Speaking, with the Speech, of Men, Rebuked the Madness, of the Prophet, these are Wells, without Water, Clouds, driven by a Tempest, Persons for whom, is Reserved, the Blackness, of Darkness, For when they, Speak Great Swelling Words, of Vanity, the Allure, through the Sensual Lusts, of the Flesh. But there are those, who Flee, at a Word, of Warning, from them, who Live in Error, they, while they Promise Liberty, themselves are the Slaves, of Corruption, for a Man, is Overcome, by whatever it is, that Enslaves him.
For if after they, have Escaped, the Pollutions, of the World, through Knowledge, of our Lord, and Savior, Yeshua, the Messiah, they become again, Involved in the same, and are Vanquished. Their Latter State, is Worse than the Former, it would have been better, for them, not to have Known the Way, of Righteousness, then to have Known it, and then to Turn their Backs, on the Sacred Command, that was Passed on, to them. But the True Proverb, has happened to them, the Dog, Returns to his own Vomit, and the Sow, that was Washed, to her Wallowing, in the Mire. It has been a Long Time, since I have Written you, my beloved, but now I Write this Second Letter, in both of them, I have Endeavored, to Stir up your Pure Minds, by Way, of Remembrance, that you, may be Mindful, of the Words, which were Spoken before, by the Holy Prophets, and of the Commandment, given through us, by the Hand, of Elohim. Knowing this Previously, that there will come, in the Last Days, Scoffers, who will Scoff, Walking according, to their own Lusts, and Saying, where is the Promise, of his coming, for since our Fathers, fell Asleep, everything remains, just as from the Beginning, of the Creation. For this they Willingly Forget, the Heavens were, of Old, and the Earth, Standing out, of Water, and in the Water, and those Men, because of whose Deeds, the World, of that Time, was Overflowed, with Water, Perished, and the Universe, that now are, and the Earth, are by his Word, Stored up, being Reserved, for the Fire, at the Day, of Judgment, and the Perdition, of Wicked Men.
And of this one thing, my beloved, be not Forgetful, that One Day, to Yahweh, is as a Thousand Years, and a Thousand Years, as One Day, Yahweh, does not Procrastinate, his Promises, as some Estimate Procrastination, but he is Long Suffering, for your sake, being not Willing, that any should Perish, but that everyone, should come to Repentance, but the Day, of our Lord, will come as a Thief, in the Night. What manner, of Persons, ought you to be, in Holy Conduct, and in the Fear, of Elohim, Looking for, and Longing for, the coming, of the Day, of Elohim, wherein the Universe, being Tested with Fire, shall be Dissolved, suddenly pass away, and the Elements, shall Separate, as they Burn, Melt, with Fervent Heat, and also the Earth, and the works, that are in it, shall not be found, now since all these things, are to be Dissolved, nevertheless, we according to his Promise, Look for New Heavens, and a new Earth, in which dwells Righteousness. Therefore my beloved, as you Expect these things, Strive, that you may be Found, by him, in Peace, without Spot, and Blameless, and Consider that the Long Suffering, of our Lord, is Salvation, even as our beloved Brother, Paul, also according to the Wisdom, given to him, has Written to you, as also in all his Letters, Speaking in them, of these things, in which there is something Difficult, to be Understood, and which they, who are Ignorant, and Unstable, Pervert, and they, also do the Rest, of the Scriptures, to their own Destruction. You therefore, my beloved, as you Know these things beforehand, Guard yourselves, lest by going after the Error, of the Lawless, you Fall from your Steadfastness, but be you Growing, in Grace, and in the Knowledge, of Elohim, the Father, through our Lord, and Savior, Yeshua, the Messiah, to him be Glory, both now, and always, and to, to Days, of Eternity, believe.
This Letter is Dedicated to the
Memory, of my Teacher.
