Learning Assessment Questions
9. What was one benefit of the Flood to God’s children?
It prevented spirits from being born to parents who were continually wicked. (See Moses 8:22; 2 Nephi 26:24.)
The scriptures teach that all that God does is for the benefit of His children (see 2 Nephi 26:24). The Flood prevented
spirits from being born to parents who were continually wicked (see Moses 8:22) and “also benefited those who were
wicked because they were brought into the spirit world, where they could eventually repent and be taught the gospel of
Jesus Christ (see 1 Peter 3:18–20; Moses 7:39)” (Old Testament Seminary Teacher Manual, 58).
“Elder Neal A. Maxwell explained that God intervened ‘when corruption had reached an agency-destroying point that
spirits could not, in justice, be sent here’ (We Will Prove Them Herewith [1982], 58).
