English term or phrase: not so far removed from his own time
Peter, in both his epistles, refers to Noah historically (1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5). In the context of the second reference it is clear that Peter regards the Flood as a major catastrophe in history, ***not so far removed from his own time***.

que a pesar de su antigüedad, no fue suprimida hasta el momento


Explanation:
Elijo "antigüedad" por una cuestión de estilo, en reemplazo de "desde la época de Pedro".

so far = hasta aquí, hasta el momento, hasta el presente.
No significa "lejano"
