#003 Genesis 7-10

Day 3 of the podcast, reading Genesis 7-10 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Genesis+7-10/ This is day 3 of our journey. Today we will read about the devastation of the Great Flood and God’s preservation of life. Within 40 days, heavy rainfall and great geysers (the fountains of the great deep) covered the entire surface of the earth to a depth of 22 feet! As Earth is forever changes, God reveals His faithfulness through the protection and deliverance of his Servant Noah. After 40 days of devastation, the land begins to dry out and, 330 days later, Noah and all the animals are able to leave the ark and begin to fill the earth once again. As Noah exits the ark, he makes an offering to God and God, in response, makes a covenant with him that is marked by a miraculous sign in the sky: Never again will God flood the whole earth. Every time we see a rainbow, we are reminded of God's promise to us. Join me in Genesis 7-10 and marvel at the power and the mercy of God! Key verses: Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month – on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. Genesis 7:19 The waters completely inundated the earth so that even all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered. Genesis 8:1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and domestic animals that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to blow over the earth and the waters receded. Genesis 9:13 I will place my rainbow in the clouds, and it will become a guarantee of the covenant between me and the earth. Genesis 10:1 This is the account of Noah’s sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. All Scriptures are from the NET.
