*The Genesis Flood*
/ /
*INTRODUCTION*:
1. Read text: Gen.
6:1-8.
2. Regarding text:
(1) Man’s sin and proficiency of it brought the earth to the eve of destruction.
(2) We are concerned about the environment of our world, but the Bible tells us that sin ought be our number one concern.
(3) Noah, found favor with God, and God gave Noah a plan of survival.
(4) The story of the flood can be looked at from different perspectives.
A. God's:
(a) God tells Noah to build the ark.
(b) God tells Noah to enter the ark.
(c) God tells Noah to exit the ark.
B. Noah's:
(a) Planning and Construction
(b) Embarking and Occupation of the Ark
(c) Disembarkation
(5) Regardless how we look at it we basically have the same story.
A. God warns Noah that He is going to destroy the earth with a flood.
B. God tells Noah what to do to survive the flood.
C. Noah builds the ark.
D. Noah boards the ark along with his family and the animals of the world.
E. God destroys the earth with a flood.
F. God dries the land.
G. Noah and his family emerge onto a new earth.
(6) The Son of God Himself endorsed the reliability of the Old Testament record regarding the Flood (Mt.
24:37-39).
Since he is an eternal Being (Mic.
5:2; Jn. 1:1), and therefore witnessed the Flood (cf.
Jn. 8:58), his testimony must be accepted as fact.
*DISCUSSION*:
I. Two Questions Generally Arise?
(The Bible Answer Is Logical and Straightforward)
1. Could the ark carry everything necessary?
(1) Usually people who ask, [A] Don’t know how many animals would have been on the ark, and [B] What the actual size of the ark (cubic feet or cubits) was.
Still, they are determined that it couldn’t happen.
(2) The ark contained */100,000/* square feet of space.
This is equal to 8 freight trains, each with sixty five box cars (total of 520 box cars).
(3) Then when you consider:
A.
Not every */species/* of animal was brought into the ark.
Every */kind/* (broader) was.
B. It is estimated that the average size of animal within the ark was about size of a sheep.
a. Box car can carry approx.
240 sheep.
b.
It has not been disputed, that approx.
150 box cars would be sufficient.
Leaves 370 empty box.
(4) The story of the ark is impressive.
It is in some ways beyond my ability to grasp fully, BUT the evidence can be examined in a reasonable fashion.
Make sure you do so.
Know what you know and why you know it.
Don’t base on assumptions.
2. Was the flood of global proportions (i.e. was it a local flood or global?)?
(1) Common practice = treat Bible as myth.
It has borne fruit in church today.
(2) I don’t have any trouble taking the Bible at its word.
The Account is clear.
A. Gen.
7:19, 21.
That really should answer the question for you.
B. Notice Gen. 7:11.
Certain waters came from the “great deep” of the ocean.
Wayne Jackson says, “/This certainly suggests more than a mesopotamian mud puddle.”/
(3) If the flood was not global, why did God have Noah build an ark?
Why not just have him move?
AND why have Him stay in there for over a year?
(4) Why did God flood the world anyway?
ANS = corruption of man was everywhere and totally perverted.
The flood punished the world!
(5) Notice 2 Pet.
3:1-10.
II.
Will The Intended Lessons Be Learned?
· Incredibly, this is often an overlooked step in the Bible study of some, if not most.
· These accounts ~/ record of the Bible are here for a purpose, to the original recipients, but also for us today.
(Prov.
9:9; Rom.
15:4).
1. Be Sure, Your Sin Will Find You Out (Num.
32:23).
*/God Knows/*.
(1) Of the individual and of the whole of mankind.
/Their thoughts were not only evil, but they were on evil continually./
(2) God knows the secrets of the heart (Psa.
44:21).
His eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth (2 Chron.
16:9).
(3) I know that you know that.
We all know it, BUT I also know how quickly forgotten.
2. Know That Your Sin Has Terrible Consequences.
(1) Always destroys.
Always destructive.
A.
Sow to the wind, and you shall reap the whirlwind (Hos.
8:7).
B. Prov.
16.25
C. Those who do not fear God, “… shall eat of the fruit of their own way..” (Prov.
1:31).
(2) Sin will produce disease, cause homes to be burned to ground, young people to be crippled, babies to die, the environment to be destroyed…
(3) Always produces death (Rom.
6:23; Ezek.
18:20).
3. God Wants Us To Be Saved.
(1) God told Noah */how/* to build the ark.
God told Noah */when/* to build the ark.
God told Noah */when/* to go inside.
God gave Noah information as to */when/* to come out!
(2) God tells me, the words by which I can be saved, if I too, like Noah, will hear Him, take Him at His word, and do what He says to do, knowing and trusting that God will do what He says He will.
(3) The Bible tells you how to be saved, though some want to think or act like it not.
