"I Am Bringing the Flood..."

“I Am Bringing the Flood…”

Blessings folk!

God gave Noah specific instruction to build an Ark.
The Ark was for Noah.
The Ark was the source of protection from the judgment that the Lord was to bring.

Again, each detail…regardless of how small…is significant and points to the ultimate redemption through the Lord Jesus Christ. It is beyond the scope of this format to explore every nuance. Give heed to the “threes”, the construction material, etc.

Gen 6:14-16
“Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall cover it inside and out with pitch.

“This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

“You shall make a window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.


The Lord is forthright with Noah in explaining His plans and purposes…

Gen 6:17
“Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.


“I, even I am…”
The Lord was clearly stating that He was doing this, that He had a purpose.

The Lord was bringing a flood of water upon the earth.
Such had never occurred.
It had never rained before!

The Lord was bringing the flood to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life.
This explains some things.
There is apparently a distinction between flesh with “the breath of life” and those without.
I suspect that “breath of life” refers to breathing air…land/air creatures.
Therefore, the fish, etc. were not destroyed.

God is serious about judging sin.
He did it then.
He will judge again, with fire.
Are you ready?
