Christ's Comments on the Flood

"For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe en-tered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:38-39)

--The Lord Jesus Christ not only believed in the special, recent creation of all things by God (note Mark 10:6-8),
--but also in the worldwide Flood of Noah’s day, including the special preservation of life on the Ark.
The Flood in which He believed was obviously not a "local flood," for
--He compared it to the worldwide future impact of His Second Coming.

Neither was it a "tranquil flood," nor a "selective flood," for Jesus said, "The flood came, and destroyed them all" (Luke 17:27). It is clear that He was referring to—and that He believed—the Genesis record of the great Flood!"
