God Sends A Flood - NKJ

As More and More People Were on the Earth, They Became Increasingly Wicked. Something Had to Be Done, and God Decided What He Would Do about it.

1. God Chose Noah to Warn the World of the Coming Flood While He Built the Ark.

Genesis 6:1-3 Now it came to pass, when men began to ______________ on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, [2] that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for __________________ of all whom they chose. [3] And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one ____________ and __________ years.

Genesis 6:5-8 Then the LORD saw that the __________________ of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the ______________ of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was ____________ in His heart. [7] So the LORD said, I will ____________ man whom I have ____________ from the face of the earth, both man and beast, ______________ thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them. [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

2. God Gave Noah Directions in How to Build the Ark.

Genesis 6:11-15 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had ________________ their way on the earth. [13] And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will ____________ them with the earth. [14] Make yourself an ark of __________________; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and ____________ with pitch. [15] And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three ____________ cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its __________ __________ cubits.

A cubit was about 18 inches. In Noah's day it may have been even bigger.

3. God Told Noah What Would Be Carried on the Ark.

Genesis 6:17-22 And behold, I Myself am bringing ___________________ on the earth, to ____________ Ť from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; _____________________ that is on the earth shall die. [18] But I will ________________ My ______________ with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons wives with you. [19] And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. [20] Of the birds after their kind, of ____________ after their kind, and of every ______________ thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. [21] And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall __________ it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them. [22] Thus Noah did; ________________ to all that God ________________ him, so he did.

Noah had never seen a big boat when God told him to build the ark. But he believed God and did as he was directed.

4. God Told Noah it was Time to Get in the Ark.

Genesis 7:1-5 Then the LORD said to Noah, Come into the ark, you and all your ________________, because I have seen that you are ________________ before Me in this __________________. [2] You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; [3] also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the ____________ alive on the face of all the earth. [4] For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will ____________ from the face of the earth all living things that I have made. [5] And Noah did ________________ to all that the LORD ________________ him.

Notice God said to take seven of each kind of clean animal and two of each kind of unclean animal. Why do you think seven clean and two unclean animals? ____________________________________.

5. People Didn't Believe Noah. They Thought the Flood Would Not Come.

Genesis 7:10-12 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. [11] In the six ________________ year of Noahs life, in the second month, the ___________________ day of the month, on that day all the ________________ of the great deep were broken up, and the ____________ of heaven were opened. [12] And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 7:19-20 And the waters prevailed ___________________ on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. [20] The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the ________________ were covered.

Genesis 7:21-22 And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every ______________ thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. [22] All in whose ______________ was the breath of the __________ of life, all that was on the dry land, died.

Genesis 7:23-24 So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, ______________ thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark ______________ alive. [24] And the waters ________________ on the earth one hundred and fifty days.

6. God Made a Wind to Dry up the Waters Covering the Earth.

Genesis 8:1-5 Then God __________________ Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters ______________. [2] The ________________ of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was __________________. [3] And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the ____________ and fifty days the waters decreased. [4] Then the ark rested in the ____________ month, the ___________________ day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. [5] And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

Genesis 8:6-12 So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah __________ the __________ of the ark which he had made. [7] Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. [8] He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the __________. [9] But the dove found no ____________ place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself. [10] And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. [11] Then the dove came to him in the ____________, and __________, a ____________ ____________ _________ leaf was in her _________; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. [12] So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him ____________.

Noah wanted to get out of the ark. Even though he could now see dry ground, he waited until God said it was alright to go out.

7. When the Time was Right, God Said to Go Our of the Ark and Let the Animals Out, Too.

Genesis 8:13-17 And it came to pass in the six ____________ and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah ____________ the ______________ of the ark and looked, and indeed the ____________ of the ground was dry. [14] And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried. [15] Then God spoke to Noah, saying, [16] Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons wives with you. [17] Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every ______________ thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may __________ on the earth, and be ______________ and ______________ on the earth.

Genesis 8:20-22 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt ________________ on the altar. [21] And the LORD smelled a ______________ aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground for mans sake, ______________ the imagination of mans heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. [22] While the earth remains, ______________ and ____________, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.

God promised that He would never again curse the ground.

8. God Used the Rainbow to Remind Everyone That He Would Never Send Another World Wide Flood.

Genesis 9:8-11 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: [9] And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your ___________________ after you, [10] and with every __________ ______________ that is with you: the birds, the __________, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. [11] Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the __________ of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to ____________ the earth.

Genesis 9:12-15 And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for ________________ ___________________: [13] I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. [14] It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; [15] and I will ______________ My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the __________ shall never again __________ a flood to ____________ all flesh.
