Studies in Genesis (No. 6)

Dr. John Whitcomb, teaching at the Word of Life Florida Conference Center in Hudson, Fla., shows in this message how God judged the world through a universal flood, from which He spared Noah and his family. The flood was a real, historical event, and was sent by God in direct response to human sin. The flood, Dr. Whitcomb says, was "the greatest catastrophe planet Earth has ever experienced, or ever will, till the end of the universe." He shares how he personally overcame the Gap Theory and local flood view, which he held in the earliest years of his teaching ministry. Our teacher further explains how the ark may be seen as an illustration of salvation in Christ. "When the fire-flood comes, and it will, in Christ and in Christ alone we will rise above the highest flames and be landed on the shores of a new earth, in which dwells righteousness forever. Are you in the ark? Are you in Christ?" We trust that this message will cause many to evaluate their standing with God before that awful time of coming judgment, which was foreshadowed in Noah's day.
