Knowing God in the Last Days is an explanation of the general epistle of Peter to the early New Testament church. The primary theme of the letter is the knowledge of God, a concept that occurs many times and in various contexts throughout the book. This short epistle contains a wealth of instruction for the church today.
The secondary theme of 2 Peter is the application of the knowledge of God to the last days in which we live. Especially in his third chapter, Peter reveals to the church the knowledge of God as it relates to the end times.
Based on exegesis of the Greek text, this commentary gives clarity of explanation to God’s people regarding necessary and important aspects of today’s Christian life. May all who read be edified.
What others are saying about this book:
"What a fitting title for this worthwhile commentary on 2 Peter—Knowing God in the Last Days! By this title Hoeksema rightly captures the main theme of Peter’s second epistle, namely, the knowledge God’s people must have. But particularly, a knowledge we must have as we live in the last days. Knowing is a timely commentary and a faithful exposition of God’s Word. May God use it for the good of His church, and by our study of God’s Word may we 'grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ' (2 Pet. 3:18)." - Heath Bleyenberg
"This little book ought to be read slowly because there is so much to unpack. I highly recommend it." - Dr. Julian Kennedy
