Moral issues of the FloodIn giving us a much fuller account than theBible of how the Flood came about, the bookof Enoch settles the moral issue with severaltelling parts:
1. Gods reluctance to send the Flood andhis great sorrow at the event.2. The peculiar brand of wickedness that made theFlood mandatory.3. The frank challenge of the wicked to have God do
his worst.4. The happy and beneficial side of the eventit didhave a happy outcome.
Hugh Nibley, November 1975

The Flood as a baptismThe waters were assuaged; the earth came
forth clothed with innocence, like the
new-born child, having been baptized or
born again from the ocean flood; and thus
the old earth was buried with all its deeds,
and arose to newness of life, its sins being
washed away, even as man has to be immersed in
water to wash away his own personal sins.
Elder Orson Pratt, July 1852

that the LORDcommanded him (Genesis7:5; 6:22).
The Lords mercy, love, and protection. The Lord prepares a way
(cf. 1 Nephi 3:7; 17:3).
The living prophet is more important to usthan a dead prophet.
Without Gods intervention and mercy,chaos, death, and destruction would
overwhelm us (Mosiah 2:21). 14
