In these verses Peter compares the “universal” coming judgment to the flood of Noah's time and states that the world that existed then was flooded with water. Further, many biblical writers accepted the historicity of the worldwide flood (Isaiah 54:9; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5; Hebrews 11:7).
Katika aya hizi Petero analinganisha “kiulimwengu” hukumu inayokuja na gharika ya wakati wa Nuhu na anasema kwamba dunia ya wakati ule iligharikishwa kwa maji. Zaidi, wengi wa waandishi wa Bibilia wilikubali historia ya gharika ya ulimwengu mzima (Isaya 54:9; 1 Petero 3:20; 2 Petero 2:5; Waebrania 11:7).
