2 Peter 3:3-7

The Message Bible MSG

3 First off, you need to know that in the last days, mockers are going to have a heyday. Reducing everything to the level of their puny feelings,

4 they'll mock, "So what's happened to the promise of his Coming? Our ancestors are dead and buried, and everything's going on just as it has from the first day of creation. Nothing's changed."

5 They conveniently forget that long ago all the galaxies and this very planet were brought into existence out of watery chaos by God's word.

6 Then God's word brought the chaos back in a flood that destroyed the world.

7 The current galaxies and earth are fuel for the final fire. God is poised, ready to speak his word again, ready to give the signal for the judgment and destruction of the desecrating skeptics.

New International Version NIV

3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.

6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
