Genesis 5-9, Psalm 2

from Commuter Bible Hosted by John Ross

Noah is often portrayed as a cartoonish old man surrounded by cute animals all smiling happily from their little boat; but the reality of the flood was far more grueling than the nursery murals suggest. Imagine what it would be like to survive an apocalyptic flood where almost everyone you know is destroyed and you’re stuck in a crowded, floating menagerie. Noah is rightly credited as brave and faithful to the Lord, but the Bible doesn’t allow us to think that the flood has solved the problem of sin. Even faithful Noah, who diligently constructed a massive vessel and survived destruction, was imperfect and flawed. Genesis 5 - 1:15 . Genesis 6 - 4:56 . Genesis 7 - 9:35 . Genesis 8 - 13:42 . Genesis 9 - 17:24 . Psalm 2 - 22:07 . ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross. Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Bible facebook.com/commuterbible instagram.com/commuter_bible twitter.com/CommuterPod patreon.com/commuterbible [email protected]
