Bible Question: gen.7:23says everything was wiped out during the flood. my question is where was satan during the flood? and how did he survive the flood? what scripture can show me. |
Bible Answer: Hello 29602004, Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. The Scriptures only talk of those things created, on the Earth or the face of the ground, during the six days. Angels being immortal and not subject to the laws which constrain us on Earth: Luk 20:36 "Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels...". And Satan, being an angel, although fallen, (from Grace), was-is still an angel. As Satan appeared to Eve as a serpent and angels have appeared to some of old and new as men. They are not bound by the laws of our physical realm. They are spirits, (Heb 1:7) "...who maketh his angels spirits...". Just a note: The Scriptures do not say the fish in the sea. terrib |
