The opening verse of 2 Peter 2 gives us three takeaways: 1. That it was to be expected that there will be false teachers wherever Christians are found. 2. That these False Prophet/Teachers would introduce destructive errors, and the results would be effective as they would (will) leading many people
astray. 3. That they would be, will be punished for being satanic wolves among the
flock. The chapter is divinely engineered to equip us and to give us a defense
against these realities.
