2 Peter is our blueprint for Reinforcing Our Faith (In The Final Days)
On Sunday June 18, 2023 at 8 A.M. The Titan submersible began its deep dive of 13,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean to view the wreckage of the Titanic. One hour and 45 minutes into the two hour descent communications were lost between the Titan and the supporting surface vessel. The Titan failed to resurface at the scheduled 3:00 P.M. time.
On Thursday June 22nd a debris field containing parts of the Titan was located near the Titanic. The Titan had experienced a “catastrophic implosion.” Despite the numerous warnings of experts concerning the safety of the Titan at these depths, the pilot and CEO of the Oceangate Titan chose to make this dangerous dive. He expressed an almost cavalier confidence in the design and durability of the vessel even at these extreme depths. The result was the loss of his life and the other four passengers aboard with him. Engineers describe a “catastrophic implosion” of this magnitude occurs when the pressure exerted on the outside of the vessel exceeds the pressure within the vessel. This physical event illustrates a spiritual reality for every follower of Jesus Christ attempting a “deep dive discipleship” into a culture increasingly hostile to their faith.
