The Rainbow Covenant
A Local or Global Flood?

Listen
This is Ken Ham, inviting you to visit the full-size Noah’s Ark in Northern Kentucky.
Transcript
After the flood, Noah and his family offered sacrifices to the Lord. God had spared them from the wickedness of man and verses in the Old and New Testament make it clear these eight were the only people who survived.
It was then that God put his rainbow in the clouds and made a promise to never again destroy all flesh with a flood. Now many Christians argue the flood was just a local event. But if that’s true, God’s promise is worthless and it’s been broken over and over. There’ve been many devastating local floods since Noah’s day.
God doesn’t break his promises. The flood was global.
