This is Ken Ham, author, speaker, and blogger on why we can trust the Bible.
When Jesus talked about creation, Adam and Eve, Lot, and more, he always treated them as real people and real events. And when he spoke of the flood he compared the reality of this past judgment, to the reality of his coming judgment on sin.
Jesus said, “as in the days of Noah so it will be when the Son of Man comes.” But if the flood was just a local flood, as some Christians argue, how can Jesus compare the two? The coming judgment isn’t just a local judgment. Jesus will judge the wickedness of man—just as God did at the time of Noah. The comparison only works because Genesis is history and the flood was global.
