AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Peter 2:10 and especially those who indulge in the corrupt passions of the sin nature, and despise authority. Presumptuous and reckless, self-willed and arrogant [creatures, despising the majesty of the Lord], they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties, |

Bible Note: Hi beulah, I think that 2 Peter chapter 2 is talking about fallen angels. I personally would put 2 Peter 2:10-12 alongside Jude 5. The theme that I see is that God saves and He destroys, whether they be man or angels. In 2 Peter, chapter 2, I see this alternating contrast. Verse 4 "For God did not spare angels when they sinned..." Verse 5, "...but preserved Noah... Verse 6, "and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction..." Verse 7, "and if He rescued righteous Lot.. 2 Peter 2:9, "then the Lord KNOWS HOW TO RESCUE THE GODLY from temptation, and [in contrast He knows also how] to KEEP THE UNRIGHTEOUS UNDER PUNISHMENT for the day of judgment,..." Jude 5, "Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, AFTER SAVING A PEOPLE out of the land of Egypt, [He] subsequently DESTROYED those who did not believe." So for both angels and mankind he knows how to save and to destroy. So we need to have the right idea of the love and grace of God. We must not deny the only Master, God, even our Lord, Jesus Christ.
