I Peter 3:20
I Peter 3:20: “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”
Here is another Great Flood reference. Modern scholars claim that this was just a local flood, but notice that Peter clearly says that there were only eight survivors! Everyone else in the entire world died. Moreover, the Genesis account is treated as a historical account, not as some myth that contains spiritual truths. As I have detailed elsewhere, the evidence from the text of the Scriptures supports a historical, global flood, not some local or mythical event. The Flood really did happen, and it really did wipe out all of mankind save for eight people.
