Bible Note: Hello Tim, The indefinite pronoun "any" is used because Peter is addressing the return of Christ which will not occur until the last of the elect are brought into the kingdom. His audience is identified in verses 1-3. Peter is adressing a specific group and not all of mankind! Example: Dear members of the Biblestudyforum, I invite you to spend a week with me in sunny Arizona. You are all welcome but leave your snowsuits at home because I do not want any to pass out from the 108 degee temperature. John |
