Genesis 7 - When the Flood Came

When the Flood Came | Genesis 7

What happens when the time for preparation ends and the warning becomes reality? In Genesis 7, Noah enters the ark with his family, the animals arrive, and the waters rise. We consider the difference between merely believing a warning and acting on it, the distinction between clean and unclean animals, and what the chapter actually tells us about the flood—without inventing details about its physical mechanisms. Even in judgment, God preserves life and continues his promise.
