4. God Takes Care of the Righteous
Genesis 7:1 (NET) The Lord said to Noah, “Come
into the ark, you and all your household, for I
consider you godly among this generation.
Pursue righteousness and God will
Protect you in the midst of your
storm.
Hebrews 11:7 (NET) By faith
Noah, when he was warned
about things not yet seen, with
reverent regard constructed an
ark for the deliverance of his
family. Through faith he
condemned the world and
became an heir of the
righteousness that comes by
faith.

5. God Preserves and Cares for His
Creation
Genesis 7:2–3 2 You must take with you seven of
every kind of clean animal, the male and its
mate, two of every kind of unclean animal, the
male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every
kind of bird in the sky, male and female, to
preserve their offspring on the face of the
earth.

6. God always gives adequate Warning
Genesis 7:4 For in seven days I will cause it to
rain on the earth for forty days and forty
nights, and I will wipe from the face of the
ground every living thing that I have made.”

7. God expects us to pay attention to the
details of His Words.
Genesis 7:5 And Noah did all that the Lord
commanded him.

8. Be Ready for Change
Genesis 7:6–9 6 Noah was 600 years old when
the floodwaters engulfed the earth. 7 Noah
entered the ark along with his sons, his wife,
and his sons’ wives because of the
floodwaters. 8 Pairs of clean animals, of
unclean animals, of birds, and of everything
that creeps along the ground, 9 male and
female, came into the ark to Noah, just as God
had commanded him.

9. God Will Fulfill His Promise
Genesis 7:10 And after seven days the
floodwaters engulfed the earth.

10. The Days of Testing arrived
Genesis 7:11–12 11 In the six hundredth year of
Noah’s life, in the second month, on the
seventeenth day of the month – on that day
all the fountains of the great deep burst open
and the floodgates of the heavens were
opened. 12 And the rain fell on the earth forty
days and forty nights.
Forty – The Time Period of seclusion, testing and trials:
•Moses was on the Mount Sinai forty days and nights
•The spies checked out the land for forty days.
•Their lack of faith resulted in 40 years of trial in the
wilderness.
•Jesus began his ministry with 40 days and nights of
testing by Satan.

11. God Shut the Door
Genesis 7:13–16 13 On that very day Noah entered
the ark, accompanied by his sons Shem, Ham,
and Japheth, along with his wife and his sons’
three wives. 14 They entered, along with every
living creature after its kind, every animal after its
kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the
earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind,
everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures
that have the breath of life came into the ark to
Noah. 16 Those that entered were male and
female, just as God commanded him. Then the
Lord shut him in.

12. God Cleanses the Earth
Genesis 7:17–18 17 The flood engulfed the earth
for forty days. As the waters increased, they
lifted the ark and raised it above the earth. 18
The waters completely overwhelmed the
earth, and the ark floated on the surface of
the waters.

13. God’s Judgment is total
Genesis 7:19–20 19 The waters completely
inundated the earth so that even all the high
mountains under the entire sky were covered.
20 The waters rose more than twenty feet
above the mountains.

14. The World that Was is Gone
Genesis 7:21–22 21 And all living things that
moved on the earth died, including the birds,
domestic animals, wild animals, all the
creatures that swarm over the earth, and all
humankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had
the breath of life in its nostrils died.

15. Trust in God and Live
Genesis 7:23 23 So the Lord destroyed every
living thing that was on the surface of the
ground, including people, animals, creatures
that creep along the ground, and birds of the
sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah
and those who were with him in the ark
survived.

16. God Protects the Righteous
Genesis 7:24 The waters prevailed over the
earth for 150 days (about five months).

17. Noah is our example
2 Peter 2:5–10 (NET) 5 and if he did not spare the ancient world,
but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with
seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,
6 and if he turned to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
when he condemned them to destruction, having appointed
them to serve as an example to future generations of the
ungodly, 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man in anguish
over the debauched lifestyle of lawless men, 8 (for while he
lived among them day after day, that righteous man was
tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw
and heard) 9 – if so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the
godly from their trials, and to reserve the unrighteous for
punishment at the day of judgment, 10 especially those who
indulge their fleshly desires and who despise authority.

18. As Noah Saved the World,
Christ Saves Us.
1 Peter 3:18–22 (NET)18 Because Christ also suffered once
for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by
being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive
in the spirit. 19 In it he went and preached to the spirits
in prison, 20 after they were disobedient long ago when
God patiently waited in the days of Noah as an ark was
being constructed. In the ark a few, that is eight souls,
were delivered through water. 21 And this prefigured
baptism, which now saves you – not the washing off of
physical dirt but the pledge of a good conscience to
God – through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who
went into heaven and is at the right hand of God with
angels and authorities and powers subject to him.

19. Jesus is Coming
Matthew 24:37–42 (NET)37 For just like the days of Noah
were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For in
those days before the flood, people were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
Noah entered the ark. 39 And they knew nothing until
the flood came and took them all away. It will be the
same at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then there
will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one
left. 41 There will be two women grinding grain with a
mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 “Therefore stay
alert, because you do not know on what day your Lord
will come.
