The Bible tells us that in the end times (the times we are living in now), scoffers will come. Peter explains.
...you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. (2 Peter 3:2-7 ESV)
Peter notes a number of things in the above text that are important for us to understand. Verses 5-7 highlight what many ancients believed regarding God's judgment. They understood that there are two judgments coming to this earth: the great flood and the fires of purification. The Great Flood of Noah's day took place roughly 1600 years after Creation. So in that relatively short amount of time, God saw fit to destroy everything except that which was saved inside the Ark, due to the transhumanism and evil that prevailed on the earth then. From only eight people of Noah's family, the world became repopulated again.
Peter also notes that at the end of this age, there will be another catastrophic purging of all things evil. Peter tells us that at that time, the heavens and the earth will literally be destroyed with fire. God will then make new ones.
Prior to this final fire judgment, God will pour out His wrath onto this world because it deserves judgment, just as in the days of Noah and the days of Lot (Matthew 24). Nothing will preempt the judgment that's coming. Of course, if the world leaders and the people supporting them all decided to repent of their sin and desire to know God, He would likely set aside or at least postpone His judgment (as He did in the book of Jonah with Nineveh). However, according to Scripture that won't happen because people will continue to reject God and refuse His salvation, becoming exceedingly evil in so doing. By the way, as an aside here, I'd highly recommend the Bible Expedition video on Nineveh.[1] It's absolutely fascinating to see how the ancient records of Assyria's Sennacherib connect with the biblical record.
People today are happy to ignore God, claiming He doesn't exist and by their own errant beliefs, think they know better than God. They have exchanged any sense of biblical morality and truth for their feelings-based version. It is the most absurd thing in the world to listen to people who believe they are intelligent, tell us that a woman is someone who identifies as such and chromosomes have little to do with it. Science has told us that male and female sexuality is based on chromosomes. Yet all of a sudden, it's now not based on chromosomes (which apparently, is only part of the picture). How a person views themself is the determining factor in spite of what their chromosomes indicate. We have the insane telling us that in order to make them feel comfortable we have to go along with their thinking regarding gender and if we do not, then we are obviously transphobic and penalized for it.
This whole line of thinking clearly follows the downward spiritual spiral of humanity listed by Paul in Romans 1. It is an a rush toward nihilism promotes Selfism at all costs. Next on the agenda is normalizing pedophilia, which too many are already saying is not an unnatural or specifically chosen lifestyle. It is allegedly natural and should not be dissuaded. Okay, whatever. These people will reap what they sow and is simply more proof that this entire world is on its way to judgment. Rather than stop and seriously consider what they are advocating, they dig their heels in as if almost deliberately poking God to force a response. But I digress.
But another area in which people are seriously digging in their heels is in the area of end times prophecy...
