The Apostle Peter, when writing his letter as seen in 1st Peter 2 had sent his letter to the Roman citizens in certain parts of the Mediterranean written about 64 AD (about 64 years after Christ's resurrection).  But, 1st Peter 2 may have been misused by certain English only speaking mulattoish Creoles who looked Certainly white for a brownie kodak camera in the 1800's but maybe not white enough as now decided for a samsung or apple smart phone camera in the current era but may have been born in the West Indies as people who were eventually involved during further European colonization and indoctrination who did not have a full Oxfordian history of the bible in their own personal understanding.   But, they did their very best to tell as many people as possible that God really loves you although there will be some people who will try to take your money, mistreat you and spitefully use you and then you must know your wisdom if you forgive. Forgiving does not mean that you go back to the same dentist who ripped your gums with a drano instead of a fluoride treatment or that you go back to that tri-athlete friend of yours who thinks he is getting authority over you when he puts it in his coffee.  Forgive and just bring your own milk or coke since its is good to have a coke and a smile.

  Forgiveness is the first miracle or act of discipline in becoming a robe or a Jedi.  Do you know June Plum?  Do you know disciples of Christ?  Do you know disciples of Buddha?  Do you know the spirit of murder?  Forgive!     So, now for the "Mephibosheth" mulattoes who covet the authority of the true throne of Israel and who seek to only approximate the message of the prophets  but not fulfill it; who are really the white washed grave stones without substance but who do have the dna of Jacob but the soul of Saul and Judas (white washed; get it?)  that is the mulattoes who are getting nervous again about what is white enough for the honor of their version of Israel in front of a camera with new camera technology and who have decided since 1999 that all Jewish girls should only have one ovary since they might get too heavy, and there are too many cameras now and we can't have too many Maude's  for Israel, maybe they need to change the !#!$# camera so that it says "human" is all you need for the throne of Israel.  If there is a King out there, he already told you!  You will court death otherwise! See the ten commandments for more and read Isaiah 44 one more time!  He brought you death in 1936 and killed all the mulattoish Jewish  people in Germany who got nervous about hair texture and skin tone and who thought they would earn favor by selling out the frizzy haired more Mesopotamian looking, darker pigmented Jewish father or Grandfather by calling the gestapo.  It was just a question of who did they think Israel is?  It is everything!   All you saw during the world war  2 news reels were images of Einstein once a day; the one who talks about infinite energy  and then also an image of Hitler who talked about infinite death.  So, which one will it be one more time for the smart phone camera before you shake not only the Heavens but also the earth in your determined self hatred of humanity as God created it and you will see the authority.

When and To Whom was 1 Peter written?

September 15, 2011 / Wesley / 19 Comments

Before we jump into the text of 1 Peter we are going to look briefly at when the book was written and to whom the book was written.

When it was written

The book claims to be written by Peter.  Those claims are substantiated by the letter itself, as it shows evidence of someone who was an eyewitness to the life of Jesus.  Historically, this is also substantiated by evidence from early Christian writers.  Thus, I believe that the author is the Apostle Peter.  This means that the book has to be written, while Peter was alive (yes,  I know that is a deep statement).
Historically speaking, we are fairly confident that Peter died under the reign of Nero.  The story goes that he was crucified upside down.  This would be around A.D. 67, 68.  Thus we know the book has to be written before then.
Secondly, the book claims to be written from Babylon (5:13).  There is debate about whether this is actual Babylon or, like in the book of Revelation, it is referring to Rome.  My belief is that it is referring to Rome because Babylon was a small village town at this point.  If this is the case, and if we believe history, then Peter was in Rome around A.D. 64.* Thus our lower date is A.D. 64.
Therefore, the book is written somewhere between 64-68 A.D.

To Whom

Verse 1 gives us the answer: “To those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.”  He is writing to Christians in these various regions of the Roman Empire. You can see those areas in the map below.

They are called “elect pilgrims.”  Elect has to do with their position before God.  They are God’s chosen people.  Pilgrim has to do with their position in the world, they are strangers in this world.  They no longer “fit in.”
The historical question is:  How was this area evangelized?  It doesn’t appear that they were a part of Paul’s missionary journey, nor any of the missionary work we see in Acts.  This leaves us with three options:  1. They were evangelized by some unknown person.  2.  Peter evangelized the area, but we have no record of it.  This could be since normally letters written to a region are written from someone who has a relationship with the people.  3. They were evangelized by those who heard Peter’s preaching in Acts 2.
Although, again, I’m not dogmatic I lean to these churches having been established by men and women who heard the preaching of Peter in Acts 2, and during their time in Jerusalem afterwards, who then went back to their homeland and taught their neighbors.
*Those are a lot of “ifs” so I am not dogmatic about the lower date.
