  1. Questions About The Flood

  2. Questions About The Flood “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” Heb. 11:7 Gen. 6-9 = More about the flood than the Creation

  3. - God was sending a flood – to destroy the evil in the world. - Noah found grace -Ark of Gopher Wood 300 x 50 x 30 cubits 450’ X 75’ x 45’

  7. Questions About The Flood

  8. Did the flood cover the entire earth ? Or Was It A Local Flood ? “There is no way geologically of supporting the idea that there was a worldwide flood….It seems to me plausible that possibly the flood was confined to the known earth at that time” - John Clayton “There is simply not sufficient concrete information to allow a dogmatic judgment on this matter” - John T. Willis

  9. Evidence for a World-wide Flood • Gen. 7:19-21 • All the high hills were covered • 15 Cubits above the mountains • All flesh died • Fountains of “the great deep” broken up (Gen. 7:11) • If local flood • Why work 120 years to build the ark ? • Why not move to another part of world? • Why have all in ark for over 1 year? • Animals could migrate, birds could fly

  10. Evidence for a World-wide Flood • Numerous Traditions of a Flood • All continents have flood accounts • 250 to 300 records • Punishments for Corruption • Gen. 6:7 “I will destroy man” • Gen. 6:13 “The end of all flesh is come before Me”

  11. Evidence for a World-wide Flood “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.” Gen. 9:13

  12. Evidence for a World-wide Flood • 2 Pet. 3:1-7 • Peter Prophesied about return of Christ • “By which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.” v. 6 • Other references in Bible • Isa. 54:9 “…the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth” • 2 Pet. 2:5 “…bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly”

  13. Evidence for a World-wide Flood Jesus believed in the flood “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be” Matt. 24:38-39

  14. Was It A Local Flood ?

  15. Questions About The Flood How could Noah build the Ark ? Was the ark too Small ?

  16. The Ark was Big Enough • 450’ x 75’ 45’ • 3 decks • Capacity equivalent to 520 railroad stock cars • 1,518,000 cubic feet of space • About 1 million animal species • 35,000 vertebrate animals • Noah brought animals of its “kind”

  17. The Ark was Big Enough • Average animal size that of a sheep • 1 railroad freight can hold 240 sheep • Only 146 cars would be needed • Much less than 520 which the Ark could hold

  18. - “fountains of the great deep” broke open Gen. 7:11 • Not stopped until 150 days into flood • “destroyed the world that existed” 2 Pet. 3:6 Could the Flood Destroy every Living Thing ?

  19. “In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights” Gen. 7:11-12 What was the source of all the water ?

  20. “And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.” Gen. 8:3 Where did all the water go ?

  21. Questions About The Flood “God forbid: let God be true, but every man a liar” Rom. 3:4

  22. Questions About The Flood It was a global flood Destroyed all people Noah’s family Survived Animals in the Ark

  23. 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water: 6. by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water: 7. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2 Pet. 3:5-7
