ACC ~ 2 Peter 2 v3

THEIR DESTRUCTION. HILARY OF ARLES: The destruction of these people comes from none other than the God of Israel, who is never idle or asleep. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.

GOD FOREKNEW THEIR WICKEDNESS. ANDREAS: They were doing this for money. Excess is sometimes geared toward wickedness and sometimes toward profit, but here the addition of the word exploit makes the meaning clear. They will indeed have their reward, which is death. The phrase “of old” indicates God’s foreknowledge of what they would do. For just as God foresaw who would be good and prepared good things for them in heaven, so he also foresaw who would be evil and prepared the other place for them. CATENA.

THEIR CONDEMNATION. BEDE: If the condemnation of these people started such a long time ago, we can be sure that it will not end any time soon. ON 2 PETER.
