Genesis 7:1
A gap between Chapter six and seven, maybe 120 years?
Chapter six God tells Noah to build the ark and this chapter He say to enter the ark.
Verse 1 is an invitation to enter the ark.
Verse 1-4 is the reason for God’s invitation.
Verses 5-9 shows the continued obedience of Noah.
Then the LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
2
The invitation must have been comforting and terrifying.
Delivered from the trials and abuse of unbelieving world, yet facing massive destruction of all he knew.
Delivered
“Come” as a father invites his children to get shelter from an impending storm.
Matthew 11:28-30
Noah’s name means rest.
We can find safety and security from the coming judgment by entering into Jesus.
Ark = coffin
God gives an invitation to come in
An invitation to be filled
An invitation to the marriage supper
And we get to invite people too.
You and your household… was his whole family following God?
Probably, God gave the invitation and all responded.
They probably wouldn’t have if they hadn’t believed.
Genesis 7:1-4
The Reason for God’s invitation:
Genesis 7:
1.
1. Noah was righteous, he believed what God said and did what God asked.
2.
He was to save animal life.
seven of all clean animals, not an afterthought, now that the time is here, the details are given.
Why seven?
sacrifice & eating?
Clean and unclean? .
seven of all clean animals, not an afterthought, now that the time is here, the details are given.
Why seven?
sacrifice & eating?
Clean and unclean?
3. Judgment is imminent.
One final week for man to repent.
People in Noah’s day didn’t think that judgment was coming, people in our day deny that judgment came.
Even though there is ample evidence for a world wide flood.
This way they can deny that God will bring judgment again even though He said He will.
Isaiah 51:
Isaiah
Isaiah 66:22
Genesis 7:5-9
The continued obedience of Noah.
It hadn’t begun to rain, Noah was acting on faith.
All he had was what we have.
God’s Word.
The animals came as God called them, (the same one who gave them instinct) Only man has trouble obeying God.
Isaiah 1
Exodus 19:
Deuteronomy
Acts 5:29
Hebrews 5:9
Revelation 22:14
Genesis 7:10-22
The Bible is not the only book that reports the flood.
It is fascinating to read and hear flood stories from the Eskimos to the Aborigines and in between.
There are differences because of the oral traditions but the Genesis account was written down as God dictated it to Moses.
The point of this account is not to just record history but to lead us to think about the final judgment and salvation to come.
Genesis
God’s power of judgment had a specific day.
600th year of Noah on the 17th day of the second month?
Right after fall harvests?
Fountains of great deep broken up.
Earth’s crust broken up.
The firmament collapsing, earth would be completely different than what it was.
This was a world wide cataclysm that has never even come close again.
Mt.
St. Helens, Pom Pei, all the earth quakes and sunamies are not comparable to what happened during the flood.
Man and his horrible weapons couldn’t compare to this event.
The number 40 becomes associated with testing and purification, especially before coming into something new and significant.
This is seen in Moses’ time on Mount Sinai
the spies’ trip to Canaan (),
Israel’s time in the wilderness
Elijah’s miraculous journey to Sinai
Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness .
Genesis
Salvation in Judgment, 3 times 1-4, 7-9, and again here in 13-17 we are told who enters the Ark stressing the mercy and grace of God even in the midst of judgment.
God shut the door.
Noah didn’t shut the door on anyone’s salvation.
1Corinthians 6:2
Isaiah
The Ark was salvation for all who entered.
No second chances for those outside.
Genesis
Genesis 7:17
This is the fulfilment of Gods Word on judgment.
story of over
young zealous preacher that couldn’t remember his point, yells, “behold I come” three times desperately trying to remember his point and lunges toward the congregation each time.
The last time he falls off the podium and crashes into an elderly gentleman on the front row.
He apologizes profusely.
The elderly gentleman says, “its not your fault, you warned me three times.”
If God says it, it will happen.
We just have to wait.
The description of the flood in this passage is so complete and specific that it is impossible to reconcile a local flood with the Biblical record.
Despite the claims of some, this was a global deluge.
i.
If this were not a global flood, then the ark itself would be unnecessary.
If this were only a local flood, then God’s promise to never again bring such a flood is false.
