Peter's final letter — written knowing his death is imminent. His last words are a warning about false teachers and a promise: the Lord IS coming.

Overview

Peter writes with urgency. False teachers have infiltrated the church, and Jesus hasn't returned yet — some are losing faith. Peter reminds them that God's timeline isn't ours: "A thousand years is as one day." He confirms Paul's letters as Scripture and closes with a command to grow in grace and knowledge.
