2 Peter 3:3-7

3Above all, understand this: In the last days blatant scoffers will come, being propelled by their own evil urges

4and saying, “Where is his promised return? For ever since our ancestors died, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation.”

5For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water.

6Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water.

7But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, by being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
