"Of Every Living Thing of All Flesh"

“Of Every Living Thing of All Flesh”

Blessings folk!

God told Noah that He would establish His covenant with him.
We learn more of the Covenant as we go.

We see this.
God initiated the Covenant.
God established the Covenant.
Apparently, the Covenant had something to do with sparing Noah the wrath of the judgment of the Lord yet to come.
Noah’s immediately family was included.

Were they they only righteous people on earth?
No.
Methuselah was alive.
He died the year of the flood.
When the flood came, Noah and his family were the sole righteous remaining.

The Lord would spare more than Noah and family…

Gen 6:18-20

“But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

“And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

“Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.

Noah was to bring two of every “kind” “of every living thing of all flesh”.
They were to be kept alive.
They were to be male and female.
Birds.
Animals.
Creeping things.

Two of every kind were to be kept alive.
They would replenish after the judgment.

The Lord told Noah what the plan was.
Noah was obedient to the Word of the Lord.

May we be likewise.
