First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
The Devil always wants the LORD to be the laughingstock of this world but He becomes one in the process. Right from the start, the Devil always presumes that he has all the answers to life, when he actually is the laughingstock of this world. He tried it with Adam and Eve, by suggesting to the unsuspecting ones that he has all the answers to life. In the end, Adam and Eve's lives became a mess after they had listened to him. Their first son, Cain, murdered another son of theirs before their very eyes. They did not know what to do with that? Where did this 'wisdom' come from, in Cain? Yes, 'wisdom' to kill? You need the evil 'wisdom' to kill. Where did it come from? From the sinful nature of the Devil in him that was cunningly sowed through Adam and Eve. Who has become the permanent laughingstock of this world now? Yes, the Devil and all those who obey him, but he has also successfully made many more laughingstocks of this world though. We saw and we still see many today being made the laughingstocks of this world! Their lives aren't going in the right direction, but they still want to advice others. They claim they know everything, like the Devil, but everything they touch becomes a mess and they end up being the laughingstock of the world. Another words, they never knew the consequences of their lives beforehand, but they tried to advice others. They had no previous experience whatsoever but they would want to advice others. They have no good fruit to show but they still want to advice others. As a result, the many deaths, murders, mishaps, divorces, heartaches, headaches, cheating, lying, deception,suicides and all that we could see in the Bible, written from the times of Adam to what we keep witnessing today. People are stubborn and blind, they can't see the LORD their Creator and the one who sustains them, just like Adam and Eve. They can't take warnings because they want their own way and therefore they rebel against the LORD. How far, just how far can they go? They are destructive because they themselves are self-destructive material and they don't know it. The sinful nature of the Devil in them is a self-destructive nature and they don't know it. Like Adam and Eve they choose to reject the divine nature of Christ which comes through their obedience to everything Christ had commanded. They hurt others and themselves while they stubbornly persists in their sins. No one must warn or dissuade them from committing sins. They wouldn't like it or even accept it. They have become too proud and too arrogant to learn obedience to the LORD, so continue being the laughingstock of this world. They want their way till the end.
Ezekiel 22:1-4
The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, will you judge her? Will you judge this city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her detestable practices and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O city that brings on herself doom by shedding blood in her midst and defiles herself by making idols, you have become guilty because of the blood you have shed and have become defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughingstock to all the countries.
