Observation - Class #1

1. After God observed  how evil the people were on earth, he made an announcement to Noah.
2. God told Noah, he was going to destroy the earth, all flesh and all animals.  What does it mean to Destroy?  Wipe them out
   put an end to the existence of (something) by damaging or attacking it.
3. The people were violent but He was going to spare Noah, a few other people and some animals.
4. Before God told Noah how he was going to destroy the earth, he told Noah to build an ark
   What is an ark?  A big boat

.

(in the Bible) the ship built by Noah to save his family and two of every kind of animal from the Flood; Noah's ark.

5. On this ark there was only one door.  This was the only way anyone could be saved.

Similar to Jesus:  Jesus is the only way to salvation.

Jesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pastures" (John 10:9)
 

6. God was going to destroy the earth with water (rain) except (1. Noah 2. Noah's wife 3. Noah's son A 4. Noah's son B 5. Noah's son C 6. Noah's son A wife 7. Noah's son B wife 8. Noah's son C wife) - 8 people and animals (male & female) of every kind
   
   Fowls - creatures with wings and feathers
   Cattle - large quadrupeds (including 4 legs and feet) - Beasts (domestic and wild)
   Creeping things - animals that glided or crawled as their means of getting around
    
7. It appears to have taken 120 years to accomplish the building of this ark, to collect all the animals and supply all the food!

This is the first time we read of a covenant in the Old Testament.  AT this point of scripture it is still broad but details will be followed later!

ADULT INTERPRETATION:

 "The universal interpretation is further substantiated by the laws of physics.  Water seeks its own level.  So if 'all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered' (Gen. 7:19) for a period of almost a year, then the world would have been under water."
