Flood_Comparison

Flood Comparison The Chaldean Flood Tablets, spawned from the city of Ur (Southern Iraq), depicts how the Babylonian God, Ea (a god who took part in the creation of man), rendered “the end of all flesh.” Nearly identical to the way God covered the earth with a great rain to spite the lawlessness of man. The biblical and the Babylonian interpretations resemble each other in many aspects though differ in distinct parts. Mankind became obnoxious, mendacious, and sinful in the eyes of God. Comparable to the Babylonian story, the people were looked upon as being too numerous and too noisy. God chose a righteous man named Noah to carry on the human race after The Great Flood. The Babylonian god Ea chose Utnapishtim to do the same, indirectly warning Utnapishtim of the great revelation through a dream. In contrast, Noah was forewarned directly through the instructions of God. Noah was told to build an ark of gopher wood and cover it inside and out with a pitch, just as Utnapishtim was told. The arks had an opening for daylight, a single door, along with numerous internal compartments.
