This is Ken Ham, author, speaker, and blogger on why we can trust the Bible.
Many Christians today believe the flood in Genesis was just a small, localized flood. But that doesn’t match the description given in Genesis—or even the words of Jesus!
Jesus mentioned Noah—and the flood—as real historical events. And he compared the flood judgment to his coming judgment on wickedness when he returns.
Now, Jesus’ coming judgment is going to be a global one—every person will face judgment because of their sin. Now, if Noah’s flood was just a local event and people outside the area survived—well, his comparison between the global flood and the coming judgment wouldn’t make any sense!
The Bible is clear—the flood: it was global.
