Localized flood. Nothing to see here - just old rotten wood. Move along now.
Many cultures around the world have tales of the flood. People have seen Noah’s Ark and it does not look like the Sunday School pictures of boats with animals in them.
The ark is a type of Christ. Those in Him will escape God’s righteous wrath to be poured out on this earth as the flood was. Only eight people survived the worldwide flood.
They asked Jesus if many would be saved. His answer was, “Enter ye in at the strait (narrow) gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13)
Eight people out of the whole world.
