Flood

Jesus pointed back to the flood to say something about ordinary days. In Noah’s time people were “eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,” until the day Noah entered the ark, and then the flood “destroyed them all” (Luke 17:27). The other writers return to it too. Hebrews says Noah, warned about things not yet seen, “prepared an ark,” and Peter notes that eight people were saved through the water. After the waters went down, Noah built an altar, and the LORD promised not to curse the ground again (Genesis 8:20-21). The story itself is told in Genesis 6 to 9.
