Why do the scriptures 2 Peter 2:5 compare now with the time of Noah, and fortell of DIVINE EXECUTION??

For as it was in Noah's day... The wicked will be destroyed and removed from existence. The meek shall inherit the earth.

Where do you get divine execution out of this?The entire chapter is about false doctrines and the false preachers who would introduce heresies among the believers(much like the non-believers are still trying to do today. Not much change between Noah's day and our own times). The only reference to destruction is in the first verse where it's talking about false teachers bringing in false doctrines among the body of believers and bringing swift destruction on themselves from God (something that definitely needs to be done today). It's not execution my factually challenged friend- it's all out destruction on godless people.

The Tribulation of Revelation is coming as soon as the rapture occurs. The context of the Scriptures you are referring to is in reference to that time period. The judgment comes but there are those who will be "saved" from it (the rapture).

That is what Jesus said in Matthew 24:37-44

Peace be with you.
Matthew 24:34-39 and Jesus said; I HAVE foretold you all things.
Why do you trust in anothers' words, when you have the Living Word of God.
Is it perhaps Jesus foretold that you would?
I come in my Father's name and you believe me not, someone else will come in their own name and them you will believe.
Anything some one else tells you Jesus told you, but others mix lies with truth,
Moses gave you the law, but truth and grace came by Jesus Christ

Quote where it foretells of DIVINE EXECUTION.
Today's times are almost as bad if not worse than Noah's time.

2Pet. 2:5 is an example of what God did and can do... not prophecy

Easy. They don't. And it's prophecy, not prophesy.
