I thought if something needed to be paraphrased it should be a warning to the Church, not a prophecy directed to ancient Israel.

Let's listen to the words of Peter.  " a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ", one of the "
eyewitnesses of his majesty",  someone who was with Jesus "on the holy mountain", perhaps Peter might have something to say that we can all learn from and apply.

There are going to be people who come around spreading lies!

They will even deny Jesus!

They will swiftly be destroyed!

Lots of people will be fooled by their lies, and seduced by their sensuality.

But, because of them the very notion of Truth will be blasphemed, denied, and redefined!

Their greed will bring about their destruction!

For if YHWH didn’t spare the angels who rebelled, but exiled them in chains to Hell to stay until they were judged.  If YHWH didn’t spare the ancient world (except Noah and his family as a beacon of righteousness).  If YHWH reduced Sodom and Gomorrah to smoldering ash as a result of their ungodliness.  In fact, using them as an example of what will happen to the ungodly!

If all that is true, then YHWH will rescue the Godly as surely as He rescued Lot and Noah.

These liars are bold and willful, it doesn’t even bother them when they blaspheme YHWH.

Even the angels weren’t as brazen in their blasphemy as these spreaders of lies!

These liars are like irrational, feral animals, acting purely in instinct and Reason, also surely to be destroyed like all rabid wild animals.   Strangely enough, for all their bluster and pride, they’re actually ignorant. 

They are like blots or blemishes revealed when the light of Truth shines on them.  They insatiable in their sin, focusing on adultery and greed, they prey on those who aren’t grounded in the Truth.  They’re like Balaam who was so in love with his wrongful gain, that he must be rebuked by a donkey!

These liars are like springs without water, they’re like mists driven before a hurricane, they have reserved seats in a place of gloom and darkness!

Because of their foolish boasting, they attract those who are also living in error!

They promise the freedom of Reason and autonomy, but, condemn themselves and others to the slavery of corruption!   Because whatever a person focuses on, is what he is enslaved by!

Even if these liars once escaped the death and defilement that come from the world because of knowing Jesus, they have become re-entangled and overcome so that they are worse off now than before they heard the Gospel!

In all honesty it would be better if these liars had never even heard the Gospel, than for them to have turned their backs on the holy commandments they have been given! 

The old saying is really true, the dog does return to its own vomit, and the pig (after getting clean) goes right back to wallowing in filth!
