The way you ended your post looks like you are the scoffer.

Really?
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first,
that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying,
Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation....
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
