God's Ark

God’s Ark
Genesis 6


1.When the Ark was provided, death threatened all.

v.5-7 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved [a]in His heart. 7 The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the [b]sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”

2. The ark was God’s appointed refuge.

6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee

3. It was the ONLY refuge

6:17-18 Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.



4. All who entered it were saved.

7:23b Only Noah was left, and those with him in the boat.

5. All who remained outside DID perish.

7:19-23 The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains [a]everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20 The water prevailed fifteen [b]cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. 21 All flesh that [c]moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; 22 of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23 Thus He blotted out [d]every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the [e]sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
6, There came a time when it was TOO LATE to
enter.

7:16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the LORD closed it behind him.
