The passage from Peter is showing the similarities between the judgments on the earth at Noah's time and what will happen at "the day of the Lord" in future. "The world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now...are reserved unto fire against the day of judgment" (2 Pet.3:6,7).
Fungu la maneno kutoka Petro laonyesha mfano mmoja kati ya hukumu iliyopita duniani wakati wa Nuhu na itakavyotokea kwenye "Siku ya Bwana" wakati ujao. "Dunia ile ilivyokuwepo wakati ule, iligharikishwa na maji, ikaangamia, Bali mbingu na nchi, zilizopo sasa …… zimewekwa akiba kwa moto zikilindwa hata siku ya hukumu" (2 Pet. 3:6,7).
