PETER 2nd, 2:18-21, C. H. Cayce Some time ago we were requested to give our views of 2 Pet. 2:22, which we did, though briefly. It seems that some of the brethren think our views are wrong, which is their privilege. But some have asked for our views of verses 18 to 21, wanting us to harmonize these with our opinion of verse 22. If you will read verse 17 you will find these characters described. It says, “These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.” True, verse 20 says, “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.” But verse 22 says, “it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” This shows that their profession was only an outward one, that there was no inward change, no change of nature; hence only a washed sow, and not a sheep. Therefore gone back to her wallowing in the mire. The Primitive Baptist, February 23, 1909.
