Since our trip to Noah's Ark and the Creation Museum, I have decided to re-read Genesis.

Here are a couple of verses from my reading plus commentary. It is God speaking:

"Look, I am going to cover the earth with a flood and destroy every living being---everything in which there is breath of life. All will die. But I promise to keep you safe in the ship, with your wife and your sons and their wives. Bring a pair of every animal---a male and female---into the boat with you, to keep them alive through the flood. Bring in a pair of each kind of bird and animal and reptile. Store away in the boat all the food that they and you will need. And Noah did everything as God commanded him."

~ Genesis 6:17 - 22 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Noah got right to work when God told him to build the ark. The other people must have been warned about the coming disaster, but apparently they did not expect it to happen. Today things haven't changed much. Each day thousands of people are warned of God's inevitable judgment, yet most of them don't really believe it will happen. Don't expect people to welcome or accept your message of God's coming judgment of sin. Those who don't believe in God will deny his judgment and try to get you to deny God as well. But remember God's promise to Noah to keep him safe. This can inspire you to trust God for deliverance in the judgment that is sure to come."
