11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the ^afountains of the great deep burst forth, and ^bthe windows of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Luke 21:9-11

9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be ^cterrified, for these things ^dmust first take place, but the end will not be at once.”

Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

10 Then he said to them, ^e“Nation will rise against nation, and ^fkingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great ^gearthquakes, and in various places ^hfamines and pestilences. And there will be ⁱterrors and great ^jsigns from heaven.

Luke 21:25-28

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 “And ^kthere will be signs in sun and moon ^land stars, and on the earth ^mdistress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For ⁿthe powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see ^othe Son of Man coming in a cloud ^pwith power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and ^qraise your heads, because ^ryour redemption is drawing near.”

Luke 21:33

33 ^sHeaven and earth will pass away, but ^tmy words will not pass away.

2 Peter 3:10-14

10 But ^uthe day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then ^vthe heavens will pass away with a roar, and ^wthe heavenly bodies ^{▼▼Or elements; also verse 12} will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. ^{▼▼Greek found; some manuscripts will be burned up}

11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, ^zwhat sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 ^aawaiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and ^abthe heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for ^acnew heavens and a new earth ^adin which righteousness dwells.

Final Words

14 ^aeTherefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him ^afwithout spot or ^agblemish, and ^ahat peace.
