Like a dog after a buried bone, you dig into the rough in order to chase down that new scent and understand some new aspect or different thought altogether. A treasure that someone else buried for you to discover when you triggered the right conditions and passed by.
I was thinking about all the scoffing, jeering, and mocking that is prevalent now, and how it is a sign of the times in it's own right.

2 Peter 3:3-7 Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world of that time perished in the flood. And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. |
It occurred to me in reading this scripture the forms of destruction mentioned.
First by Water, then by Fire.
Water is often used for worldly, mortal, and temporal symbolism.
Fire is often used to represent heavenly, spiritual, and eternal symbolism.
You see it used to describe the difference between natural (fleshly) birth, and the spiritual rebirth at salvation.
As well as the difference between earthly ritual baptism, and spiritual baptism of the Holy Spirit at salvation.
There are many more examples, but suffice it to say that I am always amazed at the typology found in scripture.
Grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus!
