SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no days will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]


     Explanation: Genesis 7 describes the destruction of the world of Noah's day by a great flood. God told Noah and his family to come into the ark because he had found Noah to be righteous. He told him to take clean animals by sevens and unclean animals by twos. He told Noah that he would send the flood in seven days. He emphasized ()v,4) that he, himself would cause this flood. Nothing like it had happened before or since. Indeed, without the special power of God, it seems doubtful that nature has the power in and of itself to do such a thing as is described in this account. It would rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And every living thing would be destroyed. (1-5).
     Noah was 600 years old when the flood came. He and his wife entered the ark together with his three sons and their wives. The animals also entered. And seven days later the Flood came (6-10).
     The fountains of the great deep were broken up. What these are is uncertain. It may be subterranean waters. It may be the sea. It may be a combination of such things. The windows of heaven were opened, and rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights. The living things were with Noah in the ark, and the LORD shut him in (11-16).
     The ark floated on the waters. The waters prevailed and increased greatly, and they prevailed exceedingly (literally, "exceedingly, exceedingly"). In short, they conquered the earth and everyone and everything in it. All the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. The waters covered the highest mountains to a depth of 15 cubits above their tops (22.5 feet to 27.5 feet, depending on the length of the cubit). Every living thing was destroyed. Only Noah and those in the ark survived (17-24).

Genesis 7


4. Generations of Noah (Ge 6:9 - Ge 9:29) - ? - ? B.C. East (Mesopotamia)
     1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. 5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
     6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of [from the faces of] the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
     11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In [this] the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
     17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly [exceedingly exceedingly] upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life [breath of spirit of life], of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
