Lucifer’s Flood (The Katabole)

2 Peter 3:5-7, “But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”

The term “Lucifer’s flood,” is another name for describing the fall of Satan, which took place in the Pre-Adamite World in a time long ago. The Apostle Peter states that in the beginning when the Earth was first formed a cataclysmic event happened between Genesis 1:1 and verse 2, which caused the Earth to become void and formless, and also the total extinction of Life on this planet by having the sun blocked out by God.

These events represent a judgement which took place of the social system at that time that resulted in the Lord destroying all life. Whenever God blocks out the sun or causes darkness to fall on the land as in Gen 1:2, is always the result of judgement ( see Gen 6-8, Ex 10:21, Jer 4:23, Joel 2:31, Rev 6:12, 8:12, 9:2, 16:10) This was the judgement of Satan when He rebelled against God. This judgement is recorded in Ezekiel 28:13-17 states, “You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.” This judgement caused the Earth to fall into chaos and destroyed utterly all life forms on the Earth at that time. Until Man was created in Genesis 1:26 and was empowered to replenish the Earth in Genesis 1:28.

Many read over the fact that God said to “replenish,” the earth meaning that something had to be here before Adam to be replenished. Which Satan’s fall destroyed. The flood of 2 Peter 3:5-7 destroyed the entire Earth, causing the world to have to be replenished by Adam some time later, as opposed to the days of Noah God spared the Earth because the sun was never blocked out causing much of the plant life and other life forms to survive the 2nd flood which was that of Noah’s day.
