About this episode
Did the flood of Noah's time truly cover the whole earth, or was it just a local disaster? In this episode, Stephen Davey examines the biblical account of the global flood described in Genesis 7–8. You’ll hear about Noah's obedience, his relentless warnings to his generation, and the miraculous way God gathered the animals into the ark. The narrative reveals a catastrophic worldwide event—mountains submerged, all life outside the ark perishing, and water covering even the highest peaks. Stephen also explains why the flood had to be global, how the Bible supports this claim, and what it means for you today. Discover how Noah’s story isn’t just about judgment—it’s about God's mercy and a picture of future salvation. If you want to understand the significance of Noah’s Ark and how it connects to God’s promise of future judgment, this episode will give you insights and hope. Tune in to find refuge in God’s grace and prepare for what lies ahead.
