Now those days of Jude prophecy were being fulfilled. Scoffers is the same Greek word rendered mockers. Jude 1:18 says there would be "mockers in the last time of the old Covenant. We will start with 2 Peter 3:2-4 which reads, that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that “scoffers will come in the last days,” walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." The main principal design of this chapter is to demonstrate, an objection to the scoffers, that the Lord Jesus had not returned. (2 Peter 3:8) In order to truly understand any context of scripture, it must be understood in it's original historical setting. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
