If you grew up in church, you probably had a nursery wall covered in cute murals of giraffes poking their heads out of a smiling wooden boat under a rainbow. We've totally sanitized the flood. I was reading Genesis 7, and it explicitly says "all the springs of the great deep burst forth." This wasn't just a heavy rainstorm. We are talking about global, subterranean reservoirs exploding through the earth's crust. Massive tectonic shifts, supersonic steam jets, tsunamis, and total geographical devastation. Noah and his family were locked in a pitch-black, pitch-sealed box while the entire planet was being physically torn apart by the wrath of the Creator. God’s judgment is terrifyingly real. But it makes the safety of the Ark—and the ultimate safety we have in Christ—feel infinitely more profound. #NoahsArk #BiblicalHistory #GodsPower #ScriptureTruth
