The Flood of Noah`s day and the destruction of the universe is tied together in II Peter 3:3-8
Knowing this first,that there shall come in the last days scoffers,walking after their own lusts,and saying,Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep,all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. 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:whereby the world that then was being overflowed with water,perished:
but the heavens and the earth,which are now,by the same word are kept in store,reserved unto fire aginst the day of judgement and peridition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,that one day is with the Lord as thousand years, and tousand years as one day.
The final world wide judgement is typified by the first worldwide Judgement that the world experienced in Noah`s day.
These Two Judgements have some of these things in common.
They both are a result of man`s sin,totally world wide in scope,calamity hits when people do not expect it,and remnant of people escape Judgement of God!First Judgement by WATER,second by the FIRE.
