NOTE: This entry was added during the Psalms. Previous references will need added. (References in previous chapters were placed under topics such as those listed below.)
This refers specifically to the global flood that occurred during Noah's time.
- For references to local floods, see: Floods.
This is a "parent topic." Some of its subtopics include:
NOTE: Isaiah 54:9 reaffirms God's promise that there will never again be a global flood.
Scripture Pages that Link to Here
- A reference to a historical fact that mockers would willfully forget: 1) events of creation (v. 5), and 2) the Flood (v. 6).
- 2Pe 3:6 - ... by [the word of God]], the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.
- (Comment) Though most of the water under the earth is now in the oceans (because of the Flood), even today, there is water under the earth's surface (mostly in porous rock).
- (comment) "The deeps" - This may include the depths of the visible waters (now called the seas and oceans); but it probably also includes the underground water sources, such as aquifers (and any other ways the water may be stored). It was this underground water that would have been the source of the "fountains of the deep" that burst forth at the time of the Flood.
- In Moses' day: "The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years..." (Psa 90:10) Contrast this with what things were like before the Flood...
