knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;
