Is the Apostle Peter the true author of 2 Peter? Why is 2 Peter so different from 1 Peter? What are the similarities between 2 Peter and 2 Timothy? Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, answers these questions and more in this introduction to the New Testament book of 2 Peter.

Amos 8:7-9:1
“God does not forget our deeds, whether good or evil.” A dark day in Israel warns us that a famine of the Word of God can happen to any nation that rejects His Word and that, as part of their judgement, ten tribes shall never return to the Northern Kingdom after their captivity.

What were the sins of Israel that kept them from turning to God? The list may surprise you: illicit sex, gluttony, improper music, and drunkenness. Sound familiar? Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us that Amos’ words of warning to the Israelites so long ago are important to us as a nation today.

Amos 5:4-17
“Judgment is coming.” That’s the message the prophet Amos has been sent to deliver to Israel. But so far, they refuse to turn from their wicked living. Even so, he continues to call for repentance saying, “Seek the Lord and live!” Dr. J. Vernon McGee says the warning and invitation from God is for each of us as well.
Amos 4:10-5:5
As the prophet Amos continues to warn of God’s impending judgement, Bethel and Gilgal paid no attention and perish. Dr. McGee reminds us that, like Israel, we all must be prepared to meet God someday, and in His mercy, the invitation to forsake our idol worship and return to Him remains open.
