According to a majority of so-called scholars, 2 Peter was not written by Peter, and was written after his death. Not to mention that the "canon" containing 2 Peter was a proscribed by a daughter of Babylon, the Catholic church, via the bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius, in the year 367 A.D., way past the "falling away" of the church. This 2 Peter author, called Paul a "brother", which is correct, as Peter was chosen to fulfill Zechariah 11:16-17, in which Peter, the "worthless shepherd", was chosen as a "shepherd" along with Paul (Zechariah 11:10) and Judas Iscariot (Zechariah 11:12-13). According to Yeshua, it is the "learned" who will not understand (Matthew 11:25), with understanding going to the "babes". 2 Peter would be just a part of the message of the "enemy", the "tare seed", that was to be mixed with the "good seed", the message of the son of man (Matthew 13:24-42). It was Peter who Yeshua called "Satan, and a stumbling block to me" (Mt 16:23).
Zechariah
12I said to them, “If it is good in your sight, give
me my wages; but if not, never mind!” So they weighed out thirty
shekels of silver as my wages.
13Then the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter,
that magnificent price at which I was valued by them.” So I took the thirty
shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14Then I cut in pieces my second staff Union, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15The LORD said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16“For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat
sheep and tear off their hoofs.
17“Woe to the worthless shepherd
Who leaves the flock!
A sword will be on his arm
And on his right eye!
His arm will be totally withered
And his right eye will be blind.”
