Our Earth has NEVER suffered a Global Flood.
Not true according to the actual Bible -
Gen 6
11
Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and
the earth was filled with violence. 12
God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted their way
upon the earth.
13 Then God said to Noah, “
The end of all flesh has come before Me;
for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold,
I am about to destroy them with the earth.
... 17 Behold, I, even I am bringing the
flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life,
from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. some of all food which is edible, and gather
it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them.”
Gen 7
1 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you
alone I have seen
to be righteous before Me in this time. 2 You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; 3
also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep
offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
hint: No need "to preserve the animals" when in fact all the bird species and animal species were going to be available -- if only a local flood was going to happen.
Hint: Birds can fly away from a 'local flood' and migrate distances much farther than that - every year.
4 For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and
I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.” 5 Noah did according to all that the Lord had commanded him.
10 It came about
after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day
all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and
the floodgates of the sky were opened. 12 The
rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, 14 they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds. 15 So they went into the ark to Noah,
by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. 16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and
the Lord closed it behind him.
17 Then the f
lood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that
it rose above the earth. 18 The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 The water prevailed more and more upon the earth,
so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and
the mountains were covered. 21
All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; 22 of
all that was on the dry land, all in
whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23 Thus He
blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
hint: birds can FLY from a local flood - they do not get wiped out by local floods!
2 Peter 3
5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God
the heavens existed long ago and
the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which
the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
in Christ,
