The Flood in Job

"Job’s friend, Eliphaz, said: “Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood” (Job 22:15,16). Referring to God’s promise after the flood, Job said: “He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end” (Job 26:10).

The general atmosphere of the entire book of Job seems to reflect the

conditions shortly after the flood. 

Modern skeptics deny that such a flood ever occurred, but it was a real and terrible event to those whose immediate ancestors had gone through it! 

Today, its testimony is preserved not only in the Bible 

--and ancient traditions, 

but also 

--in the flood sediments themselves, now seen everywhere as the fossil-bearing rocks of the earth’s crust." HMM
