Why is the Flood so important? The answer starts with the Bible’s description of the Flood and the Ark. Noah’s Flood really did happen, and it confronts us with the sobering reality of God’s judgment. The Genesis account is clearly written as historical narrative, not as myth. Lest we miss that important point, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jesus, and the Apostle Peter all taught that the Flood really happened. Hundreds of flood traditions around the world—with many details similar to the Genesis account—further point to the historical reality of the worldwide deluge.
