2 Peter 3:3-7

3 First of all, you must understand this, that in the last days mockers will come with their mockeries, living in accordance with their evil passions, 4 and saying, "Where is His promised coming? For ever since our forefathers fell asleep everything has remained exactly as it was from the beginning of creation!" 5 For they willfully ignore the fact that long ago the heavens existed and the earth that had been formed by God's command out of water and through water, 6 by which also the world, through being deluged with water, was destroyed. 7 But by the same command the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire and are kept for the day when godless men are to be doomed and destroyed.
