The Great Flood
(2 Peter 3:1–7)
Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Mat 24:37-392Pe 2:5-9Gen 6:9Heb 11:71Pe 3:20Gen 7:13Isa 3:10-11Ezk 9:4-6 You are to take with you seven pairs of 1every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate; Gen 8:20Lev 10:10Lev 11:1-47Act 10:11-15Gen 7:8Ezk 44:23Deu 14:1-21Gen 6:19-21 and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth. For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.” Gen 6:13Gen 7:12Gen 7:17Gen 6:17Gen 6:7Psa 69:28Amo 4:7Gen 8:12
And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him. Gen 6:22Luk 8:21Exo 39:32Exo 39:42-43Psa 119:6Exo 40:16Heb 5:8Jhn 13:17
Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth. Gen 5:32Gen 8:13 And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. Luk 17:272Pe 2:5Gen 6:18Gen 7:1Mat 24:381Pe 3:20Gen 7:13-15Heb 11:7 The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. Gen 2:19Gen 7:16Act 10:11-12Col 3:11Gal 3:28Isa 11:6-9Isa 65:25Jer 8:7
And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth. Gen 6:17Gen 7:4Luk 17:27Gen 7:17-20Job 22:16Mat 24:38-39 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. Gen 8:2Mal 3:10Pro 8:28-29Amo 9:5-62Ki 7:19Jer 5:22Jer 51:16Psa 78:23-24 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. Gen 7:4Gen 7:17Mat 4:21Ki 19:8Deu 10:10Deu 9:18Deu 9:9Exo 24:18
On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons— Gen 6:18Gen 7:11Ch 1:4-281Pe 3:202Pe 2:5Gen 10:1-2Gen 10:21Gen 10:6 they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature. Gen 7:2-3Gen 7:8-9 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature 2with the breath of life. Gen 6:19-20Isa 11:6 And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in. Luk 13:25Mat 25:10Gen 7:2-3Psa 91:1-102Ki 4:4-51Pe 1:5Deu 33:27Jhn 10:27-30
For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth. Gen 7:4Gen 7:12 So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters. Exo 14:28Job 22:16Psa 104:26Psa 69:15 Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered. Psa 104:6-92Pe 3:6Jer 3:23Job 12:15Psa 46:2-3
The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits. 3 Jer 3:23Psa 104:6 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind. Gen 6:13Gen 6:17Gen 7:4Gen 6:6-7Rom 8:202Pe 2:5Hos 4:3Isa 24:19 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Gen 2:7Gen 6:17 And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained. 2Pe 2:51Pe 3:20Heb 11:7Luk 17:26-272Pe 3:6Mat 24:37-39Gen 7:21-22Isa 24:1-8
And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days. Gen 8:3-4
