Jer 17:15Mal 2:17Jer 5:12-13Luk 12:45Isa 5:18-19Ecc 8:11Mat 24:48Ezk 12:22-27 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Heb 11:3Psa 24:2Gen 1:9Gen 1:6Psa 136:6Psa 33:6Jhn 3:19-202Th 2:10-12 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 2Pe 2:5Mat 24:38-39Gen 7:10-23Luk 17:27Gen 9:15Job 12:15 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:102Pe 3:12Isa 51:6Rev 21:1Mat 24:352Pe 2:92Th 1:7-8Mat 25:41 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psa 90:4Rom 11:251Co 10:11Co 12:1 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 1Ti 2:4Rom 2:4Hab 2:3Psa 86:15Isa 30:18Rev 2:21Luk 18:7-81Ti 1:16 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
