IT TOOK JUST EIGHT PEOPLE

Posted on April 2, 2023April 2, 2023

It is amazing to me that the nearly eight billion people on this earth are descended from three men.  Ultimately, we are the descendants of one man, Noah and through him, we are descended from Adam himself.  When my son was young, I used to keep the Discovery Channel and the History Channel on for him to watch with me in the evenings.  One night the program was on genes and the gene pool.  I wasn’t paying much attention to it until the narrator stated that geneticists had discovered that about 5500 to 6000 years ago, the gene pool narrowed drastically to about eight people.  I chuckled.  My son asked why I was laughing. I said, “Duh! The flood.  There were only eight people on the ark.” Of course, that sparked a discussion.

DID YOU FORGET SOMETHING?

Posted on March 16, 2023April 2, 2023

The way Genesis 8:1 is written would make you think that God forgot about them but be assured He did not. God knew where they were and what they were doing and thinking.  This is what I am thinking.  The rain from above and the waters gushing up from below kicked up a lot of debris and mud.  Since God does not change the rules of nature, He knew it would take time for all of it to settle down to the bottom of the waters.  And the ark may not have arrived yet over the place that God planned for it to settle.

SEVEN DAYS WITH NO RAIN

Posted on March 12, 2023April 2, 2023

The ark was built, it was covered in pitch, inside and out.  The animals had been sent by God to the ark.  Noah and his family herded each sets of pairs into their enclosures and made sure the gates were secure. Noah was told by God to go into the ark along with his family and all the animals that God had sent to him to be saved from the flood. God said that in seven days He would send the rain.

GONNA BUILD A BOAT IN THE SAND

Posted on March 8, 2023April 2, 2023

There he was.  Noah, follower of God.  I don’t think it took God too long to find him.  He was a light in a world full of darkness.  His immediate family followed God as Noah did.  God told him what He was going to do and that He would save him and his wife, his sons and their wives.  So, there were going to be only 4 men and 4 women, chosen by God to save the human race.  Eight people!
