GENESIS CHAPTER 6

• Verse 17-18 And behold, I Myself am bringing
  floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under
  heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life
  everything that is on the earth shall die. But I
  will establish My covenant with you and you
  shall go into the arkyou, your sons, your wife,
  and your sons wives with you.

  320 2 Pet. 25 35,6.

21
GENESIS CHAPTER 6

• But I will establish My covenant with you. In
  contrast with the rest of the created order which
  God was to destroy, Noah and his family were not
  only to be preserved, but they were to enjoy the
  provision and protection of a covenant
  relationship with God.
• This is the first mention of covenant in
  Scripture. This pledged covenant is actually made
  and explained in Genesis 9917

22
GENESIS CHAPTER 6

• Verse 19-21 And of every living thing of all
  flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the
  ark, to keep them alive with you they shall be
  male and female. Of the birds after their kind,
  of animals after their kind, and of every
  creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two
  of every kind will come to you to keep them
  alive. And you shall take for yourself of all
  food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to
  yourself and it shall be food for you and for
  them.

23
GENESIS CHAPTER 6

• There are less than 18,000 species living on
  earth today. This number may have been doubled to
  allow for now extinct creatures. With two of
  each, a total of 72,000 creatures is reasonable
  as indicated in the note on Genesis 615-16
• the cubic space could hold 125,000 sheep, and
  since the average size of land animals is less
  than a sheep, perhaps less than 60 percent of the
  space was used.
• The very large animals were surely represented by
  young. There was ample room also for the one
  million species of insects, as well as food for a
  year for everyone (v. 21).

Genesis Chapter 7

• Come This is the same invitation that the Lord
  Jesus gives today to all mankind Come unto me,

Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 2-3 You shall take with you seven each of
  every clean animal, a male and his female two
  each of animals that are unclean, a male and his
  female also seven each of birds of the air,
  male and female, to keep the species alive on the
  face of all the earth.

30
Genesis Chapter 7

• How did Noah know which were clean and
  unclean? These were ceremonial distinctions!
• seven seven. The extra 5 pairs of clean animals
  and birds would be used for sacrifice (820) and
  food (93).
• to keep the species alive. So that God could use
  them to replenish the earth.

31
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 4-6 For after seven more days I will cause
  it to rain on the earth forty days and forty
  nights, and I will destroy from the face of the
  earth all living things that I have made. And
  Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded
  him. Noah was six hundred years old when the
  floodwaters were on the earth.

32
Genesis Chapter 7

• God allowed one more week for sinners to repent.
• rain forty days and forty nights. A worldwide
  rain for this length of time is impossible in
  post-Flood atmospheric conditions, but not then.
• The canopy that covered the whole earth (Genesis
  17), a thermal water blanket encircling the
  earth, was to be condensed and dumped all over
  the globe (v. 10).

33
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 7-9 So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and
  his sons wives, went into the ark because of the
  waters of the flood. Of clean animals, of animals
  that are unclean, of birds, and of everything
  that creeps on the earth, two by two they went
  into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had
  commanded Noah.

34
The Flood Chronology

• In the 600th year of Noah (second month, tenth
  day), Noah entered the ark (Gen. 74,10,11).
• In the 600th year of Noah (second month,
  seventeenth day), the flood began (Gen. 711).
• The waters flooded the earth for 150 days (5
  months of 30 days each), including the 40 days
  and 40 nights of rain (Gen. 712,17,24 81).
• In the 600th year of Noah (seventh month, seventh
  day), the waters began to recede (Genesis 724
  81).
• The waters later receded to the point that (600th
  year, seventh month, seventeenth day) the ark
  rested on Ararat (Gen. 83,4).
• The waters continued to abate so that (600th
  year, tenth month, first day) the tops of the
  mountains were visible (Gen. 85).
• Forty days later (600th year, eleventh month,
  tenth day) Noah sent out a raven and a dove (Gen.
  86). Over the next 14 days, Noah sent out two
  more doves (Gen. 810,12). In all, this took 61
  days or two months and one day.
• By Noahs 601st year on the first month, the
  first day, the water had dried up (Gen. 812,13).
• Noah waited one month and twenty-six days before
  he disembarked in the second month, the 27th day
  of his 601st year. From beginning to end, the
  Flood lasted one year and ten days from Gen. 711
  to Gen. 814.

35
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 10-12 And it came to pass after seven days
  that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
  In the six hundredth year of Noahs life, in the
  second month, the seventeenth day of the month,
  on that day all the fountains of the great deep
  were broken up, and the windows of heaven were
  opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days
  and forty nights.

36
Genesis Chapter 7

• Month day. The calendar system of Noahs day is
  unknown, although it appears that one month
  equaled 30 days. If calculated by the Jewish
  calendar of Moses day, it would be about May.
  This period of Gods grace was ended (Genesis
  63,8 74).

37
Genesis Chapter 7

• All the fountains of the great deep were broken
  up. The subterranean waters sprang up from inside
  the earth to form the seas and rivers (Genesis
  110 21014), which were not produced by
  rainfall (since there was none), but by deep
  fountains in the earth.
• The windows of heaven. The celestial waters in
  the canopy encircling the globe were dumped on
  the earth and joined with the terrestrial and the
  subterranean waters (Genesis 17).

38
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 13-16 On the very same day Noah and Noahs
  sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noahs wife and
  the three wives of his sons with them, entered
  the ark they and every beast after its kind, all
  cattle after their kind, every creeping thing
  that creeps on the earth after its kind, and
  every bird after its kind, every bird of every
  sort. And they went into the ark to Noah, two by
  two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
  So those that entered, male and female of all
  flesh, went in as God had commanded him and the
  Lord shut him in.

39
Genesis Chapter 7

• The shutting him in signified that Noah had
  become the special object of Gods divine care
  and protection.
• Only one door God shutting means perfect
  security. Not one person or animal was lost
  inside the Ark (v. 23)

40
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 17-19 Now the flood was on the earth forty
  days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark,
  and it rose high above the earth. The waters
  prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and
  the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
  And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the
  earth, and all the high hills under the whole
  heaven were covered.

41
Genesis Chapter 7

• All the high hills. This describes the extent of
  the Flood as global. Lest there be any doubt,
  Moses adds under the whole heaven (2 Pet.
  357). There are over 270 flood stories told in
  cultures all over the earth, which owe their
  origin to this one global event.

42
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 20-22 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits
  upward, and the mountains were covered. And all
  flesh died that moved on the earth birds and
  cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that
  creeps on the earth, and every man. All in whose
  nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life,
  all that was on the dry land, died.

43
Genesis Chapter 7

• The highest mountains were at least 22.5 feet
  under water, so that the ark floated freely above
  the peaks. This would include the highest peak in
  that area, Mt. Ararat (Genesis 84), which is ca.
  17,000 feet high.
• That depth further proves it was not a local
  flood, but a global one.

Mt. Ararat

• Snow covered Mt. Ararat and Little Ararat are
  inactive volcanoes located in eastern Turkey.
  Mt. Ararat rises over 3 miles above sea level.
  This mountain is the traditional resting place of
  the Ark.

46
Genesis Chapter 7

• Verse 23-24 So He destroyed all living things
  which were on the face of the ground both man
  and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air.
  They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and
  those who were with him in the ark remained
  alive. And the waters prevailed on the earth one
  hundred and fifty days.

Genesis Chapter 7

• one hundred and fifty days. These days included
  the 40 day and night period of rain (Genesis
  712,17).
• The Flood rose to its peak at that point (Genesis
  83). It then took over 2½ months before the
  water receded to reveal other mountain peaks
  (Genesis 84,5), over 4½ months before the dove
  could find dry land (Genesis 8812), and almost
  8 months before the occupants could leave the ark
  (Genesis 814).

  far beyond the Mesopotamian Plain.
• All high mountains under the entire heavens were
  covered (Genesis 719) the text states clearly
  that all the high mountains under the entire
  heaven were covered to a depth of at least 23
  feet.

  Noah brought provision and protection in the
  midst of severe judgment. The remnant was
  preserved and God initiated steps toward
  reestablishing the created order on earth.

  ground evaporation returned water to the
  atmosphere.

54
Genesis Chapter 8

  windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain
  from heaven was restrained. And the waters

  dried up from the earth. He also sent out from
  himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded
  from the face of the ground.

63
Genesis Chapter 8

• a raven a dove. Ravens survive on a broad range
  of food types. If any food was available outside
  the ark, the raven could survive.
• The Raven is an unclean bird
• In contrast, a dove is much more selective in its
  food choices. The doves choice of food would
  indicate that new life had begun to grow thus
  Noah and his family could also survive outside
  the ark.

64
Genesis Chapter 8

• Verse 9-12 But the dove found no resting place
  for the sole of her foot, and she returned into
  the ark to him, for the waters were on the face
  of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and
  took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.
  And he waited yet another seven days, and again
  he sent the dove out from the ark. Then the dove
  came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly
  plucked olive leaf was in her mouth and Noah
  knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

  mans brother I will require the life of man.

80
Genesis Chapter 9

• The fear of you. Mans relationship to the
  animals appears to have changed, in that man is
  free to eat animals for sustenance (v. 3).
• Blood. Raw blood was not to be consumed as food.
  It symbolically represented life.
• To shed blood symbolically represented death
  (Lev. 1711). The blood of animals, representing
  their life, was not to be eaten. It was, in fact,
  that blood that God designed to be a covering for
  sin (Lev. 1711).

  between Me and you, and every living creature
  that is with you, for perpetual generations

Genesis Chapter 9

• By the waters. The specific promise of this
  covenant, never to destroy the world again by

  everlasting. The other 4 include
• Abrahamic (Gen. 177)
• Priestly (Num. 251013)
• Davidic (2 Sam. 235)
• New (Jer. 3240). The term everlasting can mean
  either 1) to the end of time and/or 2) through
  eternity future. It never looks back to eternity
  past.
• Of the 6 explicitly mentioned covenants of this
  kind in Scripture, only the Mosaic or Old
  Covenant was nullified.

Genesis Chapter 9

• The sign of the covenant. The rainbow is the
  perpetual, symbolic reminder of this covenant
  promise, just as circumcision of all males would
  be for the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 1710,11).

95
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 16-17 The rainbow shall be in the cloud,
  and I will look on it to remember the everlasting
  covenant between God and every living creature of
  all flesh that is on the earth. And God said to
  Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I
  have established between Me and all flesh that is
  on the earth.

96
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 18-19 Now the sons of Noah who went out of
  the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was
  the father of Canaan. These three were the sons
  of Noah, and from these the whole earth was
  populated.

97
Genesis Chapter 9

• Ham was the father of Canaan. Canaans offspring,
  the idolatrous enemies of Israel whose land
  Abrahams descendants would later take (Genesis
  151316), became a primary focus in chap. 10

98
Genesis Chapter 9

• From these the whole earth. All men who have ever
  lived since the Flood came from these 3 sons of
  Noah (Genesis 1032).
• The one blood of Acts 1726 is that of Noah
  through his sons. All physical characteristics of
  the whole race were present in the genetics of
  Noah, his sons, and their wives.

99
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 20-22 And Noah began to be a farmer, and
  he planted a vineyard. Then he drank of the wine
  and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.
  And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness
  of his father, and told his two brothers
  outside.

• Nothing wrong (Deut 254 1 Cor 97)-fermentation
  is a natural process
• Beneficial (Judges 913 Ps 10415 Proverbs
  316 1 Timothy 523)
• Symbol of blessing (Genesis 272837 Proverbs
  92 Isaiah 256 Matthew 2628-29
• Blessed at Canna (John 29-10
• Drunkenness condemned (Proverbs 2320 Romans
  1313 Eph 518

101
Genesis Chapter 9

• Saw the nakedness. There is no reasonable support
  for the notion that some perverse activity, in
  addition to seeing nakedness, occurred. But
  clearly, the implication is that Ham looked with
  some sinful thought, if only for a while until he
  left to inform his brothers.
• Perhaps he was glad to see his fathers dignity
  and authority reduced to such weakness. He
  thought his brothers might share his feelings so
  he eagerly told them. They did not, however,
  share his attitude (v. 23).

102
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment,
  laid it on both their shoulders, and went
  backward and covered the nakedness of their
  father. Their faces were turned away, and they
  did not see their fathers nakedness.

103
Genesis Chapter 9

• Cursed be Canaan. The shift from Ham to his son
  Canaan established the historic legitimacy of
  Israels later conquest of the Canaanites. These
  were the people with whom Israel had to do battle
  shortly after they first heard Moses reading of
  this passage.

104
Genesis Chapter 9

• Here, God gave Israel the theological basis for
  the conquest of Canaan. The descendants of Ham
  had received a sentence of judgment for the sins
  of their progenitor. In 101520, the descendants
  of Canaan are seen to be the earlier inhabitants
  of the land later promised to Abraham.

105
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 24-25 So Noah awoke from his wine, and
  knew what his younger son had done to him. Then
  he said Cursed be Canaan
• A servant of servants He shall be to his
  brethren.

106
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 26-27 And he said Blessed be the Lord,
  The God of Shem, And may Canaan be his servant.
  May God enlarge Japheth, And may he dwell in the
  tents of Shem And may Canaan be his servant.

107
Genesis Chapter 9

• Verse 28-29 And Noah lived after the flood three
  hundred and fifty years. So all the days of Noah
  were nine hundred and fifty years and he died.

  Israels primary enemy from the East. Nimrod was
  Israels prototypical ancient enemy warrior,
  whose name in Hebrew means rebel (Mic. 56).

Genesis Chapter 10

• 101519 Canaan. A notable shift occurs in this
  section away from place names to the inhabitants
  themselves (note the ite ending). These are not
  only the cursed people of Canaans curse for the
  scene at Noahs drunkenness, but also they are
  those who possess the Promised Land which Israel
  as a nation needed to conquer.
• But the Noahic curse alone did not determine
  their guilt, for God said to Abram that the
  iniquity of the Amorites must first be complete
  before his descendants could occupy the Promised
  Land (Genesis 1516).

116
Genesis Chapter 10

• Verse 32 These were the families of the sons of
  Noah, according to their generations, in their
  nations and from these the nations were divided
  on the earth after the flood.
• The earth was divided. This looks ahead to the
  dispersion of nations at Babel (Genesis 1119).

117
Genesis Chapter 11

• Verse 1-2 Now the whole earth had one language
  and one speech. And it came to pass, as they
  journeyed from the east, that they found a plain
  in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.

  They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt

  ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the
  heavens let us make a name for ourselves, lest
  we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole

Genesis Chapter 11

• let us make bricks build ourselves a city, and
  a tower make a name for ourselves. Human pride
  is what let these people to defy God.
• They were refusing to move on, i.e., scattering
  to fill the earth as they had been instructed.
• In fact, this was Nimrods and the peoples
  effort to disobey the command of God in Genesis
  91, and thus defeat the counsel of heaven. They
  had to make bricks, since there were few stones
  on the plain.

  they all have one language, and this is what they
  begin to do now nothing that they propose to do

  called Babel, because there the Lord confused the
  language of all the earth and from there the
  Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all
  the earth.
