translationNotes

  • They wilfully forget this - mockers say that nothing has changed since the creation and they purposely choose to forget.
  • that the heavens and the earth were established out of water and through water, long ago, by the word of God - "God spoke and the heavens existed and the earth came out of the water and also separated by water"
  • and that through his word and the water the world at that time, being flooded, was destroyed - "The same word that God used to create the world he used to destroy the existing world with a flood"
  • that same word - "the word of God"
  • and that the heavens and the earth are reserved by that same word for fire - "God's word is reserving the heavens and earth for fire."
  • being reserved for the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people - Heavens and earth are being kept until God judges the ungodly people.
