Bruce R, McConkie describes Flood as "world-destroying."
Bruce R. McConkie, Conference Report (April 1964): 25–26
To all who love the Lord and desire is whether the prophet of that day was salvation in his kingdom, I pose this sent of God. Those who faced the question: Was Joseph Smith called peril of a world-destroying flood were of God? In every age the great question required to answer this question: Was Noah called of God? Those seeking escape from slavery in Egypt were forced to decide: Was Moses called of God? Those among whom our Lord himself ministered had to decide, at the peril of their own eternal salvation, whether Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah, the very Son of God.
