2 Peter 3:6 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Through which — Heaven and earth, the windows of heaven being opened, and the fountains of the great deep broken up. The world that then was — The whole antediluvian race. Being overflowed with water, perished — And the heavens and earth themselves, though they did not perish, yet underwent a great change. So little ground have these scoffers for saying that all things continue as they were from the creation.
