Peter’s epistle was written to the “pilgrims of the dispersion,” those first-century Christians who relocated to the remote areas of the Roman Empire to escape the severe persecution unleashed by the Roman Emperor, Nero.

However, “the blood of the martyrs became the seed of the Church,” as the gospel spread throughout the Roman Empire.

So, the epistle of Peter was written in 64AD during Emperor Nero’s ruthless persecution of Christians.

The persecution of God’s people is the physical display of the spiritual battle between God and Satan over who rules the world.
