I have for some time now realized that the biblical flood was a local event. The idea of a world wide flood is scientifically impossible. But I was listening to Jack Hibbs about the prophecies in Ezekiel and Daniel wherein he asserts that Magog is now Russia. Does he not realize that he is saying that Magog is now a nation by another name?
If these things are true, why don’t believers realize that the flood narrative is also ancient? The Mesopotamians experienced a local flood. The epic of Gilgamesh is an alternative account of a historical event.
