Genesis 7 describes the global flood God brought to destroy all life on earth, except for Noah, his family, and the animals that were taken to the ark. Here are five verses related to the themes of this chapter:
Isaiah 54:9: "For this will be to me as the waters of Noah; for I swore that Noah's waters would no longer pass over the earth; so I swore that I will no longer go against you anymore, nor will I rebuke you." This verse remembers God's promise to never destroy all life on earth again with a flood.
Matthew 24:38-39: "Because, as in the days prior to the flood, they ate, drank, married, and gave in, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not realize it, until the flood came and led them to all; so will the coming of the Son of man will be. " In this verse, Jesus compares the time before his second coming with the days of Noah before the flood.
2 Peter 2:5: "And it did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of justice, with seven more people, when the flood came about the world of wicked." This verse resembles God's choice to save Noah and his family from the flood.
1 Peter 3:20: "Which in another time were rebellious, when God's long -term waited in Noah's days as the ark was prepared; in which few, that is, eight souls were saved through water." This verse talks about God's long -term during Noah's time and his choice to save only Noah and his family.
Genesis 9:11: "I will establish my covenant with you: all the flesh will no longer be destroyed by the waters of the flood, nor will there be a flood to destroy the earth." This verse marks the end of the flood and God's promise never to destroy the earth with a flood.
