God's Broken Promise
Summary
Young Earth creationists often claim that if Noah's Flood were local, God has broken His promise multiple times. The Answers Book cites examples like the Bangladesh floods and the European floods of 2002. But does this claim hold up?Understanding the Covenant
In Genesis 9:8-15, God’s covenant with Noah and all living creatures promises that a flood will never again destroy all flesh. The covenant is specific to Noah, his descendants, and the animals from the Ark. It’s noteworthy that God mentions "every beast of the earth," suggesting the flood was localized, as there must have been creatures elsewhere.
The Flood's Purpose
Genesis 6:12 indicates that the flood's purpose was to address the corruption of humankind, not animals. The Hebrew word for "flesh" in this context primarily refers to people. The flood intended to cleanse this corruption.
Comparing Scale
The covenant assures that humanity will never again be wiped out as it was during Noah's time, where only eight people survived. Modern floods, like those in Bangladesh or the 2004 Tsunami, while tragic, don't approach the scale of Noah's Flood, which nearly obliterated humankind.
Examining "Destroy the Earth"
The phrase "destroy the earth" is often misunderstood. The Hebrew word 'erets can mean land in general, not necessarily the entire planet. Thus, the scope of Noah's Flood likely didn't cover the entire earth, but rather the inhabited lands at the time.Conclusion
God has not broken His promise; humanity has never been wiped out on the same scale since Noah's time. This claim lacks evidence and understanding of the original covenant's terms and context.You can find the original non-AI version of this article here: God s Broken Promise.
