Lesson 7
Noah, the Symbolism of the Ark of Christ & the Flood Gen 6:9-8:19
Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
Prov 23:23 (ESV)
Estimate I found—that there were 1 Billion people on the planet by the Time of Noah
There are at Least over 70 accounts of a worldwide-Flood in ancient cultures
-
China—story of Fushi, his wife, 3 sons and 3 daughters escaped a great flood and were the only people left alive on the earth
-
Hawaii—Nu-u and his family escaped a global flood by building a great canoe and filling it with animals. Only he and his family were left alive.
-
Assyria & Babylonia (Syria & Iraq)—a flood legend almost identical to Genesis
-
This is like the days of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, and will not rebuke you. Isaiah 54:9 (ESV)
-
even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter. They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness. Ezek 14:20 (ESV)
-
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. Heb 11:7 (ESV)
-
because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ 1 Peter 3:20-21 (ESV)
-
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly 2 Peter 2:5 (KJV)
-
if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly….. then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment 2 Peter 2:5,9 (ESV)
