0:00.0	Welcome to Studies with Stearman.
0:05.0	Join us as we look deeper into the Bible.
0:10.0	Strengthen your faith with us, even as we see the day approaching.
0:15.0	And now, here's Gary.
0:18.0	We have based a study on Peter's words in 2. Peter 316, in which he refers to Paul,
0:26.7	the man whom he calls Brother Paul, our beloved brother Paul, and it alludes to his wisdom,
0:33.9	and then it says in the 16th verse as also in all his epistles speaking of in them of these things,
0:40.5	in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable
0:46.3	rest as they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction.
0:51.3	It struck me some time ago that those are very interesting comments, deep words.
0:56.5	They are not a throwaway. It's not simply Peter urging people to dig in and study Paul in spite of
1:02.3	the fact that you can't understand him or that he's hard to understand. It's not like that at all.
1:08.2	What it is, in fact, is the affirmation of the way the Holy Spirit works
1:15.9	through men to give understanding of God's plan of redemption. And we're going to see this
1:22.8	incredible clarity today, I think, as we look at chapter three. Remember, back in 2 Peter 119, Peter says,
1:30.8	we have also a more sure word of prophecy, where unto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light
1:40.5	that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your
1:45.9	hearts. Peter is talking about what Malachi wrote about, when the sun shall arise with healing
1:53.5	in his wings, a reference to Jesus as the day star. In this epistle, Peter is talking about the second coming of Christ. He's not
2:03.2	talking about the rapture. He's not talking about interim events in the body of Christ. He's talking
2:09.8	about the coming of Jesus. In 2 Peter 116, Peter says, for we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known
2:21.0	unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty.
