The Flood

The Flood

The catastrophic worldwide deluge sent by God in Noah's time to judge humanity's wickedness and reset creation — a defining event in Genesis and a typological symbol of judgment and salvation throughout Scripture

Definition

God's worldwide judgment in Noah's day, destroying all life except those on the ark (Genesis 6-9). God made a covenant afterward never to flood the earth again, sealed with the rainbow. Jesus referenced it as a warning about sudden judgment (Matthew 24:37-39).
