Genesis 8:1-22
July 18th, 2010
Quick Summary:
God does not forget his promise to Noah, keeps him safe. As the waters recede the ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. It takes months and months for the water to recede enough for dry land to show, and then for it to be dry enough to leave the ark.
Finally the Lord tells Noah to come out of the ark, a full year and 10 days after the rains began. God says to bring out all the animals so they will spread and out multiply on the earth. Noah builds an altar and makes a sacrifice of some of the clean animals, and the Lord then promises he will never strike down every living thing again.
Genesis 7:1-24

Quick Summary:
Noah enters the ark wtih his wife, sons and their wives. Also entering the ark are 2 of every kind of animal (male & female) and 7 male/female pairs of the clean animals and birds of the sky. God tells Noah it will rain for 40 days & 40 nights… and once again Noah does everything he is commanded to do.
The great flood begins in Noah’s six-hundreth year with water coming from the watery depths as well as the sky above. The waters surge and grow until even the high mountains are covered with at least 20 feet of water. All that were in the ark were saved, but everything on dry land was wiped out (it doesn’t mention the fish). All human life was extinguished except for Noah and his family.
