Today’s news is often filled with reports of terrible disasters which kill hundreds or even thousands of people. But, can you imagine a disaster so terrible that only 8 people in the whole world survived. It’s true, Noah and his wife, his three sons Shem, Ham, Japheth, and their wives were the only people saved from the largest flood of all time. It covered the entire Earth and is described in Genesis 6:5-9:19 and affirmed in Matthew 24:37, 38, 39, Luke 17:26, 27; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5; 3:6; Psalm 29:10; 104:6, 7, 8, 9.
This was the greatest disaster in history. Nothing else has even come close. The Flood waters rose above all the world’s highest places and killed most of the air-breathing, land animals. It destroyed the entire surface of the Earth.
Great supplies of water stored underground came bursting out. Earth’s crust heaved and buckled unleashing terrible volcanic eruptions and massive earthquakes like the world has never seen before or since.
Rain poured out from dark, thundering skies in unending torrents. Waves of loosened earth and trees slid down hillsides burying plants by the thousands. All of Earth’s pre-Flood cities were totally destroyed—wiped out. And so was God’s Garden in Eden.
For 40 days the rains continued. And the waves continued to rise, fed by vast amounts of underground water which used to feed the rivers and springs of the world, including The Garden in the land of Eden.
Under the enormous pressures of this worldwide disaster, Earth shook again and again causing huge tsunami waves to sweep across the sinking land. So great was the destruction that every human being outside of the ark died and with them, millions of animals and plants.
The only people spared were Noah’s faithful family. According to God’s instructions, Noah built a great barge-shaped boat designed by God to save his family and thousands of animals to be used to refill Earth. God protected this precious ship and its passengers throughout the disaster which lasted over one year.
When the destruction was finished, peace slowly began to return to Earth. Eventually, the waters dropped to a level safe enough for Noah and his family to leave the ark on dry ground.
