El sermón "Los burladores" de Joel Coyoc, basado en 2 Pedro 3:3-4, aborda la cuestión de la existencia de falsos maestros en los últimos días de la iglesia. El predicador resalta que estos burladores propagan la idea de que la promesa de la segunda venida de Cristo se ha retrasado, lo que provoca dudas entre los creyentes. Coyoc utiliza pasajes en 2 Pedro, así como referencias a otros textos bíblicos como Jeremías y Ezequiel, para demostrar cómo estos falsos maestros surgen de una perspectiva carnal y corrompida. La importancia de esta enseñanza radica en que los creyentes deben estar alertas y discernir adecuadamente entre la verdadera doctrina y las enseñanzas engañosas, manteniendo la fe en la soberanía de Dios y su plan redentor.

The Bible warns that in the last days, mockers will arise, questioning the promises of God, particularly regarding Christ's return (2 Peter 3:3-4).
In 2 Peter 3:3-4, the apostle Peter cautions believers about the arrival of mockers in the last days. These individuals will walk according to their own lusts and question the promise of Christ's coming, saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming?' This skepticism stems from a willful ignorance of God's past interventions, such as the creation and the flood, emphasizing that God’s patience has a purpose but will not last forever. This serves as a reminder to believers to stay vigilant and rooted in truth amid such challenges.
2 Peter 3:3-4
God's promises are trustworthy because He is faithful and has demonstrated His faithfulness throughout history (2 Peter 3:9).
2 Peter 3:9 reassures us that God's seeming delay in fulfilling His promises reflects His patience and desire for all to come to repentance. The Scripture reminds us that to God, a day is like a thousand years, reinforcing His sovereignty over time. God's historical interventions, such as the flood, further affirm His commitment to His word and the certainty of future judgment. Thus, believers are encouraged to remain steadfast, trusting in the promises of God.
2 Peter 3:9
The second coming of Christ is vital for Christians as it confirms God's justice and brings fulfillment to His promises (2 Peter 3:10).
The second coming of Christ is paramount in Christian eschatology because it signifies the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the execution of divine justice. As mentioned in 2 Peter 3:10, the day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, leading to the destruction of the heavens and the earth. This anticipation encourages believers to live holy lives, prepared for the Lord’s return. Furthermore, it instills hope that righteousness will ultimately prevail, as proclaimed in the new heavens and new earth where justice dwells.
2 Peter 3:10
Christians should remain grounded in Scripture and avoid being swayed by false teachings and mockers (2 Peter 3:17-18).
In facing mockers and false teachers, Christians are called to diligent watchfulness, as stated in 2 Peter 3:17-18. Believers are encouraged to grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, seeking truth in Scripture and relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to discern sound doctrine. By doing so, they protect themselves from the deceptions that can lead them away from the truth. The emphasis on personal growth and accountability in faith is crucial in fortifying the church against falsehood and ensuring the preservation of the gospel.
2 Peter 3:17-18
