Genesis 6:14-22

3. Genesis 6:14-16
Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in
the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. And
this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall
be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its
height thirty cubits. You shall make a window for the
ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set
the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with
lower, second, and third decks.

4. - What is a cubit?
• 1 cubit = 45 cm. (aprox) = 18 in.
• Length = 135 meters = 450 ft.
• Width = 22.5 meters = 75 ft.
• Height = 13.5 meters = 45 ft.

5. Genesis 6:17-18
And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the
earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is
the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall
die. But I will establish My covenant with you; and you
shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and
your sons’ wives with you.

6. Genesis 6:19-20
And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two
of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you;
they shall be male and female. Of the birds after their
kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping
thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will
come to you to keep them alive.

7. Genesis 6:21-22
And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten,
and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food
for you and for them.” Thus Noah did; according to all

By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet
seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the
saving of his household, by which he condemned the
world and became heir of the righteousness which is
according to faith.

11. - What things were not yet seen?

animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that
are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of
birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species
alive on the face of all the earth.

16. - Would God have accepted
the sacrifice of unclean animals?
- Why there were seven clean animals
and only two unclean on the ark?

17. - Were the extra clean animals
intended for the sacrifice?

Genesis 7:4-10

18. Genesis 7:4-6
For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the
earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy
from the face of the earth all living things that I
have made.” And Noah did according to all that the
LORD commanded him. Noah was six hundred years
old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

19. Genesis 7:7-10
So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives,
went into the ark because of the waters of the
flood. Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean,
of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male
and female, as God had commanded Noah. And it
came to pass after seven days that the waters of the
flood were on the earth.

20. - Was God precise in the times given to Noah?
- Was the ark God’s salvation for his chosen
from His judgment?

21. Genesis 7:11-13
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the
second month, the seventeenth day of the month,
on that day all the fountains of the great deep were
broken up, and the windows of heaven were
opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days
and forty nights. On the very same day Noah and
Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s
wife and the three wives of his sons with them,
entered the ark.--

22. Genesis 7:14-16
they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after
their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the
earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind,
every bird of every sort. And they went into the ark
to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the
breath of life. So those that entered, male and
female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded
him; and the LORD shut him in.

23. - Where are the fountains of the great deep?
- Was water coming out from inside the earth?
- Was this the first account of rain on the earth?
- Who commanded the animals to enter the ark?
- Who shut the door of the ark?
- Can anyone enter once the door was closed?
- Who decided when was the time to shut the door?

24. Genesis 7:17-20
Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The
waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose
high above the earth. The waters prevailed and
greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved
about on the surface of the waters. And the
waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all
the high hills under the whole heaven were
covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits
upward, and the mountains were covered.

25. Genesis 7:21-24
And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and
cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps
on the earth, and every man. All in whose nostrils was
the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry
land, died. So He destroyed all living things which were
on the face of the ground: both man and cattle,
creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed
from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with
him in the ark remained alive. And the waters
prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.

26. - How high were the waters over the highest mountain?
- Was the ark safe??
- Did Noah has any control over the ark’s destiny?

1 Peter 3:20

28. 1 Peter 3:20
to those who were disobedient long ago when
God waited patiently in the days of Noah while
the ark was being built. In it only a few people,
eight in all, were saved through water.

29. - Why did men rebel against God?
- Is disobedience an
expression of rejection?
- Were men grateful
towards God?
- Did they have any regard for Him?
- What were men doing?
Matthew 24:37-39

30. Matthew 24:37-39
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the
coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the
flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the
ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen
until the flood came and took them all away. That is
how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

31. - Who is the Son of Man and when will He come??
- Is there going to be judgment with His coming?
-Were men heeding the commandments of God?
- Can a good God destroy His beloved creation?
- What was Noah doing?

32. 2 Peter 2:5
if he did not spare the ancient world when he
brought the flood on its ungodly people, but
protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and
seven others

33. - Do we understand now our responsibility before God?

- What did Noah preached?
- Was he preaching with
his acts or words?
- What is the meaning of
ungodly people?

- Do we fear Him now?

34. Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including
every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
- What happened with Noah after the rain stopped?
Genesis 8:1-4

35. Genesis 8:1-2
Then God remembered Noah, and every living
thing, and all the animals that were with him in the
ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth,
and the waters subsided. The fountains of the deep
and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and
the rain from heaven was restrained.

36. Genesis 8:3-4
And the waters receded continually from the earth.
At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters
decreased. Then the ark rested in the seventh
month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the
mountains of Ararat.

37. - Did God forget
about Noah?
- Aren’t we all
in His presence
at all times?
- Have we found
the remains of the
ark over mount Ararat?
- How long has been Noah inside the ark?
- Where did the waters go?
Psalms 104:5-9

38. Psalms 104:5-9
You who laid the foundations of the earth, so that
it should not be moved forever, You covered it
with the deep as with a garment; The waters
stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke they
fled; At the voice of Your thunder they hastened
away. They went up over the mountains; They
went down into the valleys, to the place which
You founded for them. You have set a boundary
that they may not pass over, that they may not
return to cover the earth.

39. - What warranty do we find in the scriptures?
- Can water come out of their boundaries again?
- How long did it take the waters to go back?
Genesis 8:5-7

40. Genesis 8:5-7
And the waters decreased continually until the
tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first
day of the month, the tops of the mountains
were seen. So it came to pass, at the end of
forty days, that Noah opened the window of the
ark which he had made. Then he sent out a
raven, which kept going to and fro until the
waters had dried up from the earth.

41. - Was Noah trying to get out of the ark?
- Was he tired or worried about
the provisions in the ark?
- When did he come out of the ark?
Genesis 8:13-17

42. Genesis 8:13-14
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in
the first month, the first day of the month, that the
waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah
removed the covering of the ark and looked, and
indeed the surface of the ground was dry. And in the
second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the
month, the earth was dried.

43. Genesis 8:15-17
Then God spoke to Noah, saying, “Go out of the ark,
you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives
with you. Bring out with you every living thing of all
flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they
may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply
on the earth”.

44. - How long was Noah on the ark?
- Did anyone die on the ark?
- Where was Noah’s trust place upon?
Genesis 8:18-22
- Did Noah come out
of the ark when he
thought it was safe?
- Who took the
initiative?

45. Genesis 8:18-208:18-20
So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his
sons’ wives with him. Every animal, every creeping
thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth,
according to their families, went out of the ark. Then
Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every
clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered
burnt offerings on the altar.

46. Genesis 8:21-228:21-22
And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the
LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the
ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of
man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again
destroy every living thing as I have done. While the
earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,
winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease”.

47. - What is the first thing Noah does coming out of the ark?
- Where did he take the animals?

48. - Did animals reproduce in the ark for a year?
- Why the sacrifices of clean animals
produce a soothing aroma to God?

49. - Who provided the animals?
- Does God only accepts His own provision?
- Why did Noah offer the sacrifices?
- Was it to come close to God?

50. - How did the climate change after this event?
- Is the earth the greenhouse
that He created in the beggining?

51. WHAT DID WE LEARN TODAY?
- The judgment of men’s sin is inevitable.
- God provides a way out for His chosen
in the midst of His judgment.
- We shall not confuse the patience of God with indifference.
- When the door of the ark was closed by God,
judgment came and the ungodly understood.
There is no second opportunity.
- God gives the just all that he needs
- The weather in the earth changed radically after this event.
The seasons started.
