Prophesy Fulfilled

The first pope, Peter, is known for many things. Not much attention is given, unfortunately, to his prophetic writings recorded in 2 Peter that we see fulfilled today. In this scripture Peter foretells that eventually 1) men will abandon the belief that the heavens and the earth were formed by the 'word of God' and that 2) the current formation of the earth is a result of a worldwide flood, not uniformitarian geology, as is taught in most university geology classes today. Peter believed in creation by the spoken word of God and that the earth was 'formed out of water and by water'. Here are his words ....

"Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.' For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water." 2 Peter 3:3 - 6 New American Standard Bible
