Flood Related


Basically good info, but he missed one or two:

Where Did All the Water Go After the Biblical Flood?
Ark Encounter | 20 Jan. 2023

7:29 The Flood was not God's judgement on sin in general. Calvary was.

The Flood must be understood in parallel to Apocalypse 19.

It's a judgement on a very specific and very prevailing form of iniquity that persecutes those faithful to God.

How do I know? Personally, I probably got it from Tolkien. His view on the fall, not given in the Silmarillion volume fortunately, is atrocious. But Akallabêth is a very genial meditation on Genesis 6 + Flood account, and Apocalypse 13 to 18 + 19. But Tolkien's not an authority.

And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
[Luke 17:26]
And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[Matthew 24:37]

The next verse in each case refers to eating, drinking, marriage and marriage arrangements.

Let me suggest, it could be about cannibalism, vampyrism, gay "marriage" and forced gay "marriage" ...

For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be
[Matthew 24:21]

Nothing parallels that suffering at the end times (or the fall of Jerusalem), but I think the closest runner up would have been, not the 20th C, horrible as it was, but just before the Flood.

9:53 You missed one reason against a local or regional Flood, for instance covering large swathes of Mesopotamia.

In such a Flood, the Ark would have been soon covered with seaweed from the top.

You have heard of the schooner Wyoming? It did just fine in open sea, but where it sank in a storm was in Nantucket Bay, where the water was and still is very shallow.

Shallow seafloor = turbulent and steep waves.
