deluge

Then explain to him the consummation which is about to take place; for all the earth shall perish; the waters of a deluge shall come over the whole earth, and all things which are in it shall be destroyed.

The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.

A great destruction therefore shall come upon all the earth; a deluge, a great destruction, shall take place in one year.

And therefore I will bring down a deluge upon the earth and will destroy all men, and the whole earth will crumble together into great darkness.
