The entirety of chapter 2 concerns the judgment that will fall upon false teachers. Peter warns the church against those who teach destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them. Such false teaching has not ceased, if anything, it has continued to increase as the gospel has gone forth into the world. Their judgment is sure, for throughout history God has brought judgment upon the wicked while delivering the righteous. Peter compares them to Balaam, the Old Testament pagan who set out to curse Israel but instead was rebuked by a donkey. These people are “springs without water” promising life but delivering nothing of value.
