The Year of the Flood

of the Biblical flood, it is essential to point out that there are many other flood stories in Ancient Near Eastern cultures. In fact, there are actually up to sixty-eight different cultures with stories of a great flood! In addition, it is also important for the examiner to see how each flood story affects and influences one another.

When you hear the word ‘flood’ what do you think of? The majority of us probably think of the scientific definition of the word: a natural disaster that happens when a large amount of water covers an area of land that is normally dry (Merriam-Webster Online).

and he created the flood because his people were being a disgrace so he flooded the earth and destroyed all living things besides what he had Noah put on the Ark. I also believe that, had God not have done that we would be living in a literally living hell, what our world may become if people don’t stop killing and fighting all the time.

The chapters state God’s disgust of what humanity had become, and his intentions to cleanse the earth. One man and his family were picked by God to build an ark and save a male/female of each animal. God’s intentions led to Noah’s Ark. In…

damages to cities.
