📚 Historical Context
The Apostle Peter wrote his second letter to encourage believers and warn them against false teachers during a time of growing heresy in the early church. At this point, Peter was aware that his death was imminent, likely due to persecution under Roman Emperor Nero around 64-68 AD, and he wanted to ensure that the essential truths he had taught would remain vivid in their minds. This reflects the early Christian context where oral traditions and apostolic writings were vital for preserving the faith amid challenges.
