Genesis 6 - bible study

 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 enter the ark. Noah had to bring into the ark two of all living creatures male and female. And seven of every kind of clean animals male and female. And seven of every kind of birds make and female. Noah had to store food for his family and all living creatures. Noah did every thing as the Lord had commanded.

  For Attaining Wisdom And Discipline; For Understanding Words Of Insight; One can attain wisdom and be disciplined through proverbs. You can also realize the ins and outs of anything. Wisdom refers to the clarity one has in his life. Proverbs also emphasizes morality. Wisdom refers not only to knowledge, but also to the clarity of living a life with the fear of God and also a life which pleases God. Wisdom helps one to discern what is good and what is bad. Solomon, who excelled in wisdom, failed to use it. Although his son Rehoboam received all the counsel, he failed to use it wisely. He rejected the teachings of his father. Proverbs:1:1

Genesis 8 - bible study

 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.
