The worldwide flood that destroyed all life on earth except for Noah, his family, and the animals in the ark occurred in 4990 B.C. In 2 Peter 3 God refers back to this flood and then transitions to the end of the universe by fire. In verse 8 God says, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." This is interesting because God told Noah to get into the ark because in 7 days He would bring the flood (Genesis 7:4).
Now if we add 7000 to 4990 B.C. (1 day = 1000 years) we arrive at the year 2011 A.D. Is the the year Christ will return as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" to destroy the universe, bring judgment of the ungodly, and create a new Heaven and Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness?
