My journey through the bible

 God remembered Noah and his family and the living things in the ark. God sent a wind and the waters receded. The rains stopped. After 150 days the water had gone down. The ark came to rest on the Mountains of Ararat. The waters continued to recede until the tenth month. There was a window in the ark.  🕊️ After 40 days Noah opened the window and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth. Then he sent out a dove. The dove returned as there was water on the surface of the earth. After seven days he sent the dove out. It returned with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. He sent out the dove after seven days and it didnot return. When the earth's surface was dry God asked Noah and his family and all the  living creatures to come out of the ark. Then Noah built an altar and sacrificed clean animals and birds on it. Then God said He would never again curse and destroy the earth as He had done.

  God asked Noah to get into the ark because they were righteous. God would sent rain for forty days and forty nights. He would wipe out all the living creatures on this earth. Noah was 600 years old when the flood waters came on the earth.  The Lord shut them in the ark. The waters rose and increased greatly and the ark floated on the water. The waters rose high and all the mountains were covered. All living things on the earth perished. Only Noah and his family were saved. The waters flooded the earth for 150 days.

 The Flood - The sons of God married daughters of men. Sons of God possibly refers to "godly men" and daughters of men refers to sinful women probably from the wicked line of Cain. The Nephilim who were on the earth were people of great size and strength, but in God's eyes they were sinners. Man's wickedness on earth was very great and the Lord grieved that He had made man on the earth. So God decided to destroy all the living things on the earth. But Noah found favour in tbe eyes of God. He was righteous, blameless and he walked with God. The earth had become very corrupt and the Lord was going to destroy it. ⛴️ The Ark - God instructed Noah to make an ark of cyprus wood. The length had to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. A door was in the side of it. There were lower, middle and upper decks. God was going to bring flood waters on the earth to destroy all life on the earth. God established a covenant with Noah. He and his family of eight members would

  From Adam to Noah - Adam had three sons: Cain, Abel and Seth. Enosh, Mahalalel and Jared were his descendants. Jared had a son Enoch and his son was Methuselah. Methusaleh was the father of Lamech. The son of Lamech was Noah. Noah was 500 years old and he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.

  Adam 🙎🏻‍♂️ Adam was the first man to be created. He was the first man to talk and walk with God. He was also the first man to hide from God. It is interesting to note that Adam had no parents, relatives or siblings. He had no childhood days to cherish. He had to remain alone for a period of time. Of course, God was with Him. Adam had to learn everything by himself. He learnt what to eat and what not to eat. Everything was trial and error for him.  Before the fall, Adam had struggles but there were no unpleasantness. After the fall, he struggled for each and everything. Sin brings forth struggles. Adam was created with creativeness and intelligence. God brought to him animals and birds to see what he would name them (Gen 2:19). Later, after the fall, Adam was alone when he named his wife (Gen 3:20). Adam messed up his life. His messing up landed us in a mess. Was he a disappointment to God?

 The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2   And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!"  Revelation 22:17  The Holy Spirit is a divine Person and is engaged in all the activities and purposes of the Godhead equally with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit has also taken a place of intimate association with all those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ. These two features of the Holy Spirit can be seen on the first page and on the last page of the Bible. On the first page of the Bible we see the Spirit hovering over the waters. The word "hovering" is actually the same word used to describe a mother eagle when she is hovering over her young as they learn to fly (Deuteronomy 32:11). The Holy Spirit is seen moving in vital creative power over the face of the world. The work of creation was declared "good." But man, who was created in the image of God, and was the pinnacle o
