Summary: CHP 6- God was sad because of all the sin and violence that now filled the earth. He gave man 120 to clean up their act basically, or he'd send a flood. The lord regretted making man and he will destroy everything that he has made. God saw Noah as a just and rightous man who followed God. God told Noah he is going to destroy all flesh. God told Noah to make a giant boat measuring 450 cubitsx75cubits. He told Noah to make the boat waterproof and made of Cyprus wood. Also to have a window at the top for light. God then promises Noah to save his family in the Ark. He tells Noah to grab 7 pairs of every animal.
CHP 7- Lord then tells Noah he needs to bring clean animals onto the boat. He says in 7 days the flood is coming. Noah did all the Lord asked him to, and Noah was 600 years old. Noah and his family waited on the Ark while it rained, and then they waited on the ark until the land dried.
CHP8- Noah sent out ravens to see if the land was dry and the second time the ravens brought back an olive leaf which meant that the land was dry. The third time the ravens did not return. That meant the land was dry and it was time to exit the Ark. The Lord God destroyed everyone but Noah and his family. Lord then told him to be fruitful and multiply on the land. Noah then builds an altar to give thanks to the Lord, God was pleased and then promised to never send a flood over the earth again.
CHP9- God blessed Noah and told him to fill the earth. Then he said the beasts shall fear you. God then says never again will the be a wipeout of all flesh. He then makes a rainbow to signify that he will never flood the Earth again. Noah lived to be 950 years old.
Verse: Genesis 21-"When the lord smelled the pleasing odor, the lord said to himself, I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of mans heart is evil and wicked from his youth. neither will I ever again smite and destroy every living thing, as I have done."
Application: Id say my application of these four chapters would be to live for christ even more, I am trying to avoid a fluffy cloud answer.. but what it sounded like to me is that Noah, out of everyone was chosen to be saved, and he could not have been the only christ follower, so if this flood were to happen again, I know God would have not selected my family and I to be saved. We live in a messed up world but Noah somehow found how to be that pleasing to God, I would love to be like Noah, and do every single thing through Christ.
