NOTE

Comparing Peter’s judgment with Fire with the judgment in Noah’s flood

The popular belief that the physical universe is temporary and doesn't matter stems from Greek philosophy and Gnosticism. However, this is not inherent to Christianity or Judaism. Second Peter three compares the coming judgment with the flood in Genesis, indicating that the word 'destroyed' carries a deeper meaning.

Similarly, the coming judgment by fire will purify and purge the evil systems of the world and its people.
