“Every living thing on earth died—every man and woman, every bird, and every kind of animal. All the many kinds of animals and all the things that crawl on the ground died. Every living, breathing thing on dry land died. The water continued to rise above the mountains. The water was more than 20 feet above the highest mountain.

In this way God wiped the earth clean—he destroyed every living thing on the earth—every human, every animal, everything that crawls, and every bird. All that was left was Noah and his family and the animals that were with him in the boat. The water continued to cover the earth for 150 days.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭7:20-24‬ ‭ERV‬‬

“Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭7:20-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

My thoughts: Every ancient culture and civilization had a flood story that closely paralleled the Bible, including China. If Noah's flood was localized, it would have had to be contained somehow, such as with a circle of mountains. People and creatures would have migrated to and sought out the highest ground to survive. 

We don't know the earth's topography or landscape of the pre-flood world, but it is safe to assume the geology was not completely flat. Eden was not only a garden, but a mountain too. If not contained, a buildup of water will seek equilibrium or the weakest point, thus equaling out globally.

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream... Noah's barge was one serious piece of craftsmanship, withstanding the violence of that deluge and underneath violent mantle topography changes and violent waves. 

It has been documented and recorded exactly where the earth's mantle fractured, and we have the ring of fire. Did the fountains of the deep only burst forward in the middle-east?

Creationist scientific evidence has convinced me the Grand Cannon was not created over millions of years, but suddenly. By a sudden release and drainage of a massive amount of stored up water. The entire regions landscape could have only been formed by a huge amount of rushing water. Not wind, rain and erosion over millennium [IMO].

In our hemisphere Wooly Mammoth's have been found suddenly frozen, completely preserved, with food still in their mouth. Dinosaurs found with flesh still on their bones. Fossils and dinosaur bones are generally not found individually, but in massive localized graves by the hundreds or thousands. They didn't travel there knowing they we about to die and use it for a cemetery. Massive water and whirlpools nicely explains it.

Speaking of fossils here in N. America; the process of fossilization is the same globally. How do fossils form? Over long periods of time, or suddenly covered?

One of the smartest men I know in this generation, on Semitic language and a Hebrew scholar, Dr. Michael S. Heiser, believes the flood was localized.

I have my own distinguished credentials; in my eight years of high school, freshman through senor years, all of my teachers formerly told me, "I was their best 'F' student they ever had." I was voted the most likely, and only person in history, never to achieve a single thing! Who needs a sheepskin anyway?

So, with my opinion and credentials, I'm disagreeing with Dr. Heiser. The flood was global. Genesis 7:19 (KJV) And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

Maybe the translators got it wrong, and it should read "under parts of heaven" or "under the localized region?"

Verse 19 in my opinion tells us the entire Earth was covered.   

 

 

19And the waters became exceedingly powerful upon the earth, and all the lofty mountains that were under the heavens were covered up.   יטוְהַמַּ֗יִם גָּֽבְר֛וּ מְאֹ֥ד מְאֹ֖ד עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיְכֻסּ֗וּ כָּל־הֶֽהָרִים֙ הַגְּבֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־תַּ֖חַת כָּל־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם:

 

 

The heavens here obviously refers to the first heaven, the immediate atmosphere.   So, wherever the skies of Earth existed, water covered the Earth.   No doubt means Global Wide Flood.

I believe you mean the crust fractured, not the mantle. The idea behind this hypothesis is interesting and is the favoured for more YE organizations. There are signficant thermodynamic issues around this though.

Great typo! That was also earth's superweapon from the old Robotech anime series.

I've seen suggested that all the sedimentary rocks of the earth were laid down at the Flood. If so, then the canyon was created after, because the canyon itself is composed of dominantly sedimentary rocks until it intersects the basement metamorphic rocks.

Suddenly covered is helpful to ensure limited oxygen and prevent rapid decay, but the mineralizing process takes a lot more time - it is a process of replacing the existing minerals with new minerals. I've got examples of fairly quick fossilization (leaves that fell into a mineral spring), but most take significantly longer.

The Burgess shale is one location, high in the western Rockies of Canada that show soft-body details. These would have required rapid burial, likely due to slope failure along the ocean shelf to deep anoxic conditions. For a YE timeline, there would have had to been an immediate uplift and exposure of extremely soft, unconsolidated sediments, located about 800km from the ocean.

I think this applies to a lot of the bible: "as far as the writer is concerned". 

And as far as the writer was concerned, it was worldwide. Just like, as far as the writer was concerned, the earth was flat, with another solid world above it held up by pillars we call mountains. 

The bible is not a science book. It's not about how. It's about why. The focus of the flood is WHY it happened and the result. Anything else is putting information there that is not there.

I'm saying it is obvious in their descriptions. An example: https://www.bibleandscience.com/bible/books/genesis/genesis1_pillarsearth.htm

2Ti 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Col 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
