	The Deluge (Polish history) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Deluge (Polish Potop) is a name commonly assigned in the history of Poland to a series of wars in the 17th century which left Poland in ruins.
		In a stricter sense Deluge refers only to the Swedish invasion and occupation of the country; in a wider sense it applies to the whole series of misfortunes started by the Khmelnytskyi Uprising 1648 and ending in either 1656, 1660 or even in 1667.
		The Deluge also stopped the era of Polish tolerance, since most of the invaders were non-Catholic, with expulsion of the Polish brethren as a clear sign of it.

		Noah, in P., the tenth patriarch as well as the survivor from the deluge; (2) the destination of Xisuthrus is said to be to the gods, a statement which virtually records his divine character.
		We may imagine that between the creation and the deluge some great and wise Being had initiated the early men, not only in the necessary arts of life, but in the ways that were pleasing to the heavenly powers.
		We may at any rate plausibly hold, with the article Deluge (by Cheyne) in the ninth edition of this work n (1877), that the deluge-stories of Polynesia and early Babylonia (we may now probably add India) were accommodated to an imaginative conception of the sun and moon as voyagers on the celestial ocean.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Deluge
		Deluge is the name of a catastrophe fully described in Gen., vi, 1-ix, 19, and referred to in the following passages of Sacred Scripture: Wisd., x, 4; xiv, 6-7; Ecclus., xvi, 8, xliv, 17-19; Is., liv, 9; Matt., xxiv, 37-39; Luke, xvii, 26-27; Hebr., xi, 7; I Peter, iii, 20-21; II Peter, ii, 5.
		The Deluge is referred to in several passages of Scripture as a historical fact; the writings of the Fathers consider the event in the same light, and this view of the subject is confirmed by the numerous variants under which the Flood tradition lives in the most distant nations of the earth.
		Thirdly, if the Biblical Deluge was geographically universal, the sea water and the fresh water would mix to such an extent that neither the marine animals nor the fresh-water animals could have lived in the mixture without a miracle.

		That one would describe the shift in geodetic system as a Deluge is understandable when one considers that according to the new system the level of the sea rose by 9,918.4 meters in relation to the center of the Earth.
		A problem that is implied in the biblical account of the Deluge is that of calculating the difference between geographic cubits and Greek cubits; as I have stated the two cubits are in a relation quite close to 640:641.
		We shall see that the biblical account of the Deluge, which is a composite of several versions of the same story, employs both figures and further employs a rounded version of the first one as 22,500 cubits = 9988 meters.

	Henryk Sienkiewicz's Epic Novel: "Potop" (The Deluge)
		The Deluge is a literacy masterpiece that today is almost unknown outside the author's native country.
		It is a masterful blend of history and imagination that shows the whole nation, as well as individuals, caught up in earthshaking events, fighting for their lives and rediscovering themselves through their own commitments.
		As in all three novels of Sienkiewicz's Trilogy, The Deluge dazzles with a gallery of characters: Kings, Chancellors, generals, magnates, mercenaries, brave soldiers, heroic spiritual leaders and other historical figures who populate the era in which this book is set.

		Similarly, in the pyramid of men and animals on higher ground which dominates the major portion of the illustration, love, fellowship, and community prevail: innocent children are pushed to the heights, and supposedly guilty human beings sacrifice themselves to save innocents.

	The Deluge in Rabbinical Sources
		Possibly, in some caves high in the mountains, in far separated regions of the earth, human beings survived the Deluge; but hardly any vessel or ark. The attempt to find the remains of an ark on Mount Ararat are probably as futile as looking for the ribs of Adam.
		Like the former catastrophe of the fall of man, this catastrophe of the Deluge, according to the Hebrew cosmogony, changed the nature of herb, animal and man. The prosperity of the time before the great flood was gone, never to return; the world lay in ruins.
		It appears that the tradition of “a year” of the deluge led to confusion in calculations, and the traces of this confusion seem to be found in the double redaction of the story of the Deluge.

	Story Of The Deluge
		The fact being so well authenticated, the critics have been obliged to content themselves with minor objections--finding fault with the Scriptural account of the Ark--considering it impossible that the flood should have been throughout the whole world, and probable that it was merely upon some portion of it.
		To the Christian mind it is quite sufficient attestation to the truthfulness of the account of the deluge, as given in Genesis, that our Lord, the great Teacher, made no criticism of it, but by referring to it clearly implied its truthfulness and general correctness.
		Considering then that the truthfulness of the narrative is abundantly established, a first foundation for those who have the eye of faith and the ear of faith, we proceed to the examination of the lesson.

		This colorful but ruinous interval, the stuff of legend and the popular historical novels of Nobel laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916), became known as the potop, or deluge, for the magnitude of its hardships.
		The emergency began with an uprising of Ukrainian Cossacks that persisted in spite of Warsaw's efforts to subdue it by force.

		When, on the other hand, the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, the survivors in your country are herdsmen and shepherds who dwell on the mountains, but those who, like you, live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea.
		Whereas in this land, neither then nor at any other time, does the water come down from above on the fields, having always a tendency to come up from below; for which reason the traditions preserved here are the most ancient.

		P>And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
		Furthermore, as Bible commentators explain, since the Church of Christ is the mystical body of Him, or Christ Mystical, the ark serves doubly as such a divinely intended prefiguration -- first as a type of the Church and second as a type of Christ Himself.
