Disbelief of Noah's Ark is a Sin

Why Disbelief in Noah's Ark is a "Sin"

[ First published 30-11-19 pw=pagan word]

Many in the false religion of Christianity believe that the account of Noah's Ark in Genesis is just an allegory or even plain fiction, a child's fable.

We often see images of a grossly undersized ark with animals bulging out the sides to further mock the true account and make it appear as an impossibility or joke.

In this article we will not focus on proving the authenticity of the account as much as the reason as to why it is important to believe it as a fact and why it cannot be considered an allegory.

Any "Christian" who says they do not believe Noah's Ark is already flawed since it means they do not believe the savior and prophet they follow whom they falsely call "Christ" or "Jesus". They are hypocrites.

Moshe (Moses) said the following regarding the true Mashiak Yahushua (pw Messiah Jesus) who would and did come:

Deu 18:15 Yahuah (pw Jehovah) your Elohim (pw God) will raise up to you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, One like me. To Him you shall listen,
Deu 18:18 I [Yahuah] will raise them up a Prophet from among their brothers, one like you, and will put My words in His mouth. And He shall speak to them all that I shall command Him.
Deu 18:19 And it shall happen, whatever man will not listen to My Words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.

Joh 8:28 Then said Yahushua (pw Jesus) unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

Everything Yah'ushua said was ordained by his Father. He spoke his Father's word only.

And what words did Yahushua Speak?

Well it is evident that Yahushua refers to the "days of Noah", an actual historical time period when Noah was alive:

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the malakim (pw angels) of shamayim (pw Heaven), but only My Father.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark.
Mat 24:39 And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.

These Noah naysayers do not believe Yahuah Elohim (pw God Almighty) neither his Son when it comes to Noah. Yahushua uses the historical event of Noah to describe how the time of his own second coming will be. Torahless people were not paying attention and going about their everyday activities and then sudden destruction came upon them. He uses the flood as a real example. This does not make the Noah event an allegory. On the contrary the factual historical events of the deluge are being used as grounds for people to believe the FACT of a repeat destruction which will take many away. He continues:

Mat 24:40 Then two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 Two shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 Therefore watch; for you do not know what hour your Master (pw Lord) comes.

Yahushua is saying do not make the same mistake as those people did in Genesis of thinking the Genesis flood is fiction and the ark a joke until Noah entered it and the rain came gushing down. This is the age-old lesson of learning from history so as not to repeat it! The scripture is full of such lessons but few heed them. Even Israel did not heed the warnings by the prophets. They failed to learn from their own history and repent so that future troubles could be avoided. They fail to hear the prophet and savior Yahushua.

We see another account of Yahushua's words in Luke:

Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it also shall be in the days of the Son of Man.
Luk 17:27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 So also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
Luk 17:29 but the day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from the heaven and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 Even so it shall be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Luk 17:31 In that day he who shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise, he who is in the field, let him not return to the things behind.
Luk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Luk 17:33 Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two shall be grinding together, one will be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two shall be in the field, one will be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:37 And they answered and said to Him, Where, Master (pw Lord) And He said to them, Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

Here however Yahushua adds the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. This further shows that Yahushua uses extra factual historical events as examples. Yahushua refers to real people, a real place and a real event at Sodom and Gomorrah. Evidence of its destruction has been found. With or without that evidence, we are still commanded by Yahuah and Moshe to believe Yahushua's words.

Yahushua refers to Lot's wife who was a real person married to a real Lot. These people just as Noah and his family are real people not mythical creatures. They are woven into the genealogy leading up to Mashiak himself. If they are not real people then Yahushua and his own genealogy must also be counted as allegory or fiction.

Gen 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot.

Are we to discount the genealogy of Abram too then? Did Yahuah make a covenant with an fictional character named Abram (Abraham) . Where do we draw the lines between allegory, fiction and fact when fact is interwoven through the entire Genesis account by the thread of genealogy.

Are we to discount the whole genealogy of Noah too then as allegory when it is so clearly recorded? If a long genealogy is an allegory to what does this allegory then point to? Is Noah a figment of Yah'uah's imagination?

Gen 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.
Gen 10:2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.
Gen 10:3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.
Gen 10:4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish and Kittim and Dodanim.
Gen 10:5 By these were the coasts of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Gen 10:6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan.
Gen 10:7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Gen 10:8 And Cush fathered Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah. Therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah.
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gen 10:11 Out of that land he went forth to Asshur. And he built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
Gen 10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city.
Gen 10:13 And Mizraim fathered Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim,
Gen 10:14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
Gen 10:15 And Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, and Heth,
Gen 10:16 and the Jebusite and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Gen 10:17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Gen 10:18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
Gen 10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon (as you come to Gerar) to Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even to Lasha.
Gen 10:20 These were the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Gen 10:21 And to Shem were born, even him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
Gen 10:22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
Gen 10:23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash,
Gen 10:24 And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber.
Gen 10:25 And two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. And his brother's name was Joktan.
Gen 10:26 And Joktan fathered Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah,
Gen 10:27 and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah,
Gen 10:28 and Obal and Abimael and Sheba,
Gen 10:29 and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
Gen 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, a mountain of the east.
Gen 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and after their nations.
Gen 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. And from these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

In fact there is probably no clearer recorded information by which we can estimate the time of the global flood than by the accurate account of the ages of these people given in Genesis which ties in with the rest of history as it unfolds more accurately with modern archeology and better scientific methods. This has happened as carbon dating has been proven to be unreliable and further explains, for example, the oldest trees on earth being in line with the flood date in scripture. (see Noah's Ark Not Just a Myth)

No myth or legend would record and historically important detail such as years lived and genealogy as we see in the Genesis account following the flood. Noah's importance as a survivor has his genealogy carefully preserved with future generations in mind, YOU AND ME, to be able to make reference to them in our age. In fact the detail is very important as it traces the line of a very real Mashiak to a preflood real Adam via a real Abram and of course a real Noah with a real son Shem.

The Genealogy of Yahushua HaMashiak

Luk 3:23 And Yahushua Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,
Luk 3:24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph,
Luk 3:25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,
Luk 3:26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Juda,
Luk 3:27 the son of Joanna, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,
Luk 3:28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er,
Luk 3:29 the son of Joses, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorum, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,
Luk 3:30 the son of Simeon, the son of Juda, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim,
Luk 3:31 the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,
Luk 3:32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salma, the son of Nahshon,
Luk 3:33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Pharez, the son of Judah,
Luk 3:34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
Luk 3:35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,
Luk 3:36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
Luk 3:37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,
Luk 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of Elohim (pw God).

This factual lineage allows us to agree with the recent genetic evidence that all people on earth have one common ancestor Adam as the true Genesis account declares. This is prophetic and not just a myth. Hence we have Yahushua thousands of years later referring to the factual account of the survivor Noah, the very reason Yahushua was able to come to the earth and be born of that lineage. Any myths and legends about global floods which more than likely emanate from the true Genesis account lack this prophetic and scientific evidence. A myth or allegory does not require such attention to detail. The aim of it is simply to tell a story regardless of whether it can be substantiated. The detail, however recorded in Genesis is often overwhelming. Readers often sadly skip over this detail. Myths on the other hand lack detail and archaeological or scientific evidence.

Now a so-called believer today or "Christian" as they erroneously call themselves may deny Noah's ark simply under the strain of peer group pressure and what is considered as taboo or unpopular.

Luk 9:26 For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words, the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him when He shall come in His own and in His Father's splendor (pw glory)

Were the Pharisees not guilty of this? Many Pharisees believed Yahushua but succumbed to their peers rather. They feared the views of men rather than the Words of Yahushua for salvation.

Which stands the test of time? Yahuah or man and his theories?

Darwin's presumptuous theories would have caused many to buckle and deny Yahuah as Creator. Many of his theories have been disproved already (see Ten Ways Darwin Got it Wrong). How sad that people will give up salvation since they trust man more than their Creator. They do this too when it comes to Noah's ark.

These disbelieving "Christians" strangely believe that they can be saved at the same time. The common backing for their salvation is a sliver of a verse:

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Master Yahushua Mashiak ( pw Lord Jesus Christ), and thou shalt be saved...

But how can one believe on Yahushua if you deny (contradict) what he says? How can you then be saved if you do not believe what he says? How can you be saved if you call Yahushua a liar and hence his Father a liar?

Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny (contradict) me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in shamayim (pw heaven).

Shaul (Paul) on Noah

"Christians" will often cling to Apostle Shaul (Paul) as the be all and end all of their "faith" often even distorting and lifting his doctrine above that of Yahuah (pw God) and his son Yahushua (pw Jesus) falsely accusing him of inventing a Torahless thing called "Christianity" (see Do You Really Want to be Called a Christian ). They convert Apostle Shaul into a false mythical creature called a "christian". It is then easy for them to further distort the scriptures when it comes to Noah and say that it is an allegory of fiction. But these fools fall prey to their own lack of moral conviction or "faith" , as they erroneously call it. They deny that Shaul preaches the account of Noah as a practical example of moral conviction along with many other practical examples by other real characters. Here he mentions Abram, Sara, Abel, Enoch, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephtah, David, Samuel in the history of the scriptures. This is seen in Hebrews 11 and is affectionately called the "Hall of Faith". We however would call it the Hall of Moral Conviction since "faith" is from pagan godess Fides (Sunday Worship Terms). Amongst these historical figures of moral conviction is mentioned Noah and his ark.

Now imagine this fictional allegory to Shaul's Hebrews 11 speech. If President Donald Trump, trying to stir up secular patriotism, were to state:

We have seen how our presidents loyally served this nation over hundreds of years, Grover Cleveland, Abraham Lincoln who died for this nation, Franklin Roosevelt who took us through the war, John F Kennedy who paid the price, Mickey Mouse who whistled with fervor on his steam boat, Thomas Jefferson who gave us our Independence. Now people lets push ahead as I take up the baton and fight for this country.

Would this entire speech not become a joke or confuse the audience? Would it not be an insult to the rest of the real presidents? Would this improve the credibility of the speaker or worsen it?

Jakob on Noah

Jakob (James) the brother of Yahushua, like Shaul, also refers to practical works of moral conviction as proof of it rather than just a meaningless confession of moral conviction. He uses real men of Elohim as examples of this:

Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Jas 2:22 Seest thou how emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) wrought with his works, and by works was emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) made perfect?

Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed Elohim, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of Elohim.

Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) only.

Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) without works is dead also.

These are practical historical works not imagined ones. He includes himself along with them in the discussion

Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast emunah / moral conviction (pw faith), and I have works: shew me thy moral conviction (pw faith) without thy works, and I will shew thee my emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) by my works.

Such PROOF cannot be given using fictional allegories.

Shaul says:

Heb 11:7 By emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) Noah, being warned of Elohim (pw God) of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by EMUNAH / MORAL CONVICTION (pw faith).

Now it goes without saying that Shaul would be justifiably accused of lies if he were to use an allegorical or fictional Noah, fictional household and fictional ark as an example of moral conviction and then say that Noah was able to condemn the world by all this fictional stuff that never happened and then to say he was able to become the heir of righteousness by that!

What righteousness can there be in lies? Shaul would be the biggest liar on the planet, the very same planet which was condemned by an apparently fictional Noah which he refers to, the same planet upon which a so-called fictional flood occurred! Yah forbid. Preceding this verse Shaul says:

Heb 11:6 But without emunah / moral conviction (pw faith) it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim (pw God) must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

This agrees with the substantial proof or evidence that moral conviction demands as Jakob (James) stated.

What a charlatan would Shaul be if he were using an allegory to support true moral conviction in Elohim.? That would be immoral conviction.

Heb 11:13 These all [including Noah] died in moral conviction (pw faith), not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Here Shaul makes it clear that these were real mortal men and women who died awaiting the eternal life promised. They were real pilgrims on the earth not allegories! If Noah's ark and the flood which took the people all away were an allegory for moral conviction what real event would this so-called allegory be pointing to? Would the almost insurmountable task of building a real ark not be substantial evidence of moral conviction or not ? Is this not why the details of the event are questioned to this day in the first place as doable or not? Would anyone bother to question or investigate a fable or allegory? If Noah were an allegory then Yahuah would be a liar saying he rewarded Noah for obeying him and building the ark as directed!

Heb 11:16 But now they [including Noah] desire a better country, that is, a shamayim one (pw an heavenly): wherefore Elohim (pw God) is not ashamed to be called their Elohim: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Note: Yahuah is not ashamed to be called the Elohim of Noah but many "Christians" are ashamed of Elohim so they make Noah an allegory or fiction.

Picture a real allegory now, a scenario where your child gets to be in shamayim (pw heaven) and asks to see Noah so he can ask him on how he built the ark and Yahuah says: No, that was just an allegory but it got you to believe in Me didn't it? Would you trust this Father? Sounds more like the pagan fictitious"Father" Christmas liar to me, Santa (Satan) Clause. (See Saving Christmas ) which has been used to lie to children. Yahuah is not a catholic with lying pagan tricks.

Shimon (Peter) on Noah

Apostle Shimon (Peter) refers to Noah in three ways.

1 - Confirms Mashiak's Work With Noah

1Pe 3:17 For it is better, if the will of Elohim wills it, to suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
1Pe 3:18 For Mashiak (pw Christ) also once suffered for transgression of Torah (pw sins), the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to Elohim (pw God), indeed being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit;
1Pe 3:19 in which also He went and preached to the spirits in prison [spiritual bondage to Torah Transgression],
1Pe 3:20 to disobeying ones [Torah transgressors], when once the long-suffering of Elohim waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared (in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water);

Now we see how Shimon confirms how the Son of Elohim, Yahushua was first begotten by his Father in the spirit. He preached through Noah ( a preacher of righteousness (2Pe 2:5)) to the lost spirits of the preflood world who would not repent and be delivered till the flood came and destroyed them. We note that there is a clear distinction here being made about spirit and flesh. Noah and his family of eight are flesh and blood -referred to as real SOULS (v 20) - not spiritual allegory!

1Pe 3:21 which figure now also saves us, mikva / water immersion (pw baptism); not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward Elohim (pw God), by the resurrection of Yahushua Mashiak (pw Jesus Christ).

Note there is a figure mentioned here, a representation or allegory. Which is the allegory and which is the real event? The flood is the real thing and the figure / spiritual allegory / representation of it is mikva / water immersion (pw baptism) not the other way around. Both are real events but one is flesh and the other is spiritual. The old man (transgressor) dies spiritually in the symbol of mikva ( baptism) to this world and is made alive spiritually as a new creation, repenting, and living in Mashiak by his resurrection. The real Noah's ark event in the flesh is a figure of this spiritual rebirth and salvation in Yahuah through Mashiak. The real command to Abraham to offer his Son was also an allegory of the REAL spiritual offering of Yahuah's only begotten Son who would come in the flesh.

How many "Christians" would have been "baptized" / immersed without believing in the real flood of Noah and thereby turning the whole symbol into something less significant. No wonder the Catholics replaced immersion with sprinkling as though Yah'uah never poured out the raging torrent upon the heads of the wicked and drowned them.

2- Noah- a Final Warning for Today

False Prophets and Teachers

2Pe 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many will follow their pernicious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness they will use you for gain with well-turned words; for whom judgment from of old does not linger, and their destruction does not sleep.
2Pe 2:4 For if Elohim did not spare Torah transgressing (pw sinning) malakim (pw angels), but thrust them down into gehinnom / valley of destruction (pw hell), and delivered them into chains of darkness, being reserved to judgment.

2Pe 2:5 And He did not spare the old world, but saved Noah the eighth one, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the unYah-like (pw ungodly).

2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, He condemned them with an overthrow, setting an example to men intending to live unYah-like. (pw ungodly)
2Pe 2:7 And He delivered righteous Lot, oppressed with the lustful behavior of the lawless (Torahless).

1) So off the bat we see Shimon (Peter) says they deny Yahushua by making him a liar with reference to His work in a real Noah's ark event while the ark was being prepared according to what he stated back in 1 Pe 3:21.

2) The idea of swift mass destruction relates to the very real scientific reality of the flood event. It was indeed swift. The very action needed for the making of fossils requires a rapid sealing off of oxygen by mud. The fossils themselves also show the swiftness where animals were fossilized instantly while still ingesting or having in their mouths plants or prey. Indeed the global presence of fossils is only explained by the rapid global flood described in Genesis. There is no other direct evidence for such a global swift destruction on the planet.

3) The truth of Noah is spoken evil of calling Yahuah a liar because of their own love for Torah transgression (pw sin); Christianity - not subject to Torah (v6)

4) "did not spare the old world" To deny the global extermination of the world's population by Yah'uah's flood is obviously a lie on global proportions and promotes a further lie that he will not destroy the earth and unYah-like again, the same lie that Satan sold to Eve: you shall not die if you disobey Yahuah. To deny the global flood would be tantamount to denying the Holocaust and allowing it to be repeated.

5) Like Yahushua, Peter also connects Sodom and Gomorrah with Noah and the flood, two events well known to the world as examples of Yahuah destroying real Torah transgressors who made a real character, Lot, angry. Peter makes it clear that these are examples (v6) not allegories.

3- Noah Disbelief - A Prophetic Truth

The Day of Yahuah Will Come

2Pe 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the morally pure (pw holy) prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Master (pw Lord) and Saviour:
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of Elohim (pw God) the shamayim (pw heavens) were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the shamayim (pw heavens) and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of unYah-like (pw ungodly) men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Master (pw Lord) as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 Yahuah (pw the Lord) is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of Yahuah will come as a thief in the night; in the which the shamayim (pw heavens) shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

1) Peter makes it clear that he stands by the declaration of the prophets and fellow apostles of Yahushua that Noah is real (v1-2)

2) Peter makes it clear that in the future there would be mockers who think that because Yahushua has not returned they can transgress his Torah (v 3)

3) But what is noteworthy is that they will forget about the Noah account, the flood! (v 4) "all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.""

4) They will forget about the flood because they will choose to be ignorant of it as a fact and that can only come about by willfully turning it into fiction or allegory. (v5) "willingly are ignorant"

5) Peter clearly puts his foot down and reiterates that as real as the earth and shamayim are now present so is the reality of the flood that once covered it and so is the reality of the real future destruction of it and the wicked by fire.

6)Peter cannot give a clearer prophetic and probably scientific explanation of the substantive physical reality of it when he says

...and the elements shall melt with fervent heat (v 10)

This is physical or indeed physics. It is not metaphysics and it is not allegory. It is tied to the real physical event of Noah's ark and the flood.

Let's compare a proper allegory about a flood that Yahushua used:

Luk 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Skimpy detail - no names, no time, no place.

Why did Yahushua need to make an allegory about a flood if he already had the so-called mother of all famous "allegories", a Genesis flood? Why did he not just refer to the Genesis flood here and a man called Noah building a solid ark?

The answer is simple. This was a real allegory about a man who believes in scripture in general. He takes advice from the Torah thus he takes the real Genesis flood in the past seriously. The Rock is an allegory of the real Yahushua who stands upon his Father's solid Torah and outlasts any flood. The lesson is that if you don't believe the WORDS of TORAH and the TORAH MADE FLESH : Yahushua, and his account of the real Genesis flood then you will be spiritually and physically destroyed because you did not physically act upon his advice concerning future"floods" ie destruction to come.

Have you succumbed to the disbelief of Noah's ark as a real event?

Have you willfully denied its relevance to the warning of the coming of another real destruction upon the earth?

Have you thought it is okay to be Torahless?

Have you turned Shaul, Peter, Jakob (brother of Yahushua), Yahushua and Yahuah into liars?

Either you believe

Yahuah (יחוח - I am that I am)

is all that he is and says he has done, is doing and will do

or you believe the same lie Eve bought that "you will surely not die

if you willfully transgress Torah".
