Reading Assignment
Lesson 3
Q: Why is it important for a woman to make sure her family appreciates the story of Noah and the Flood?
A: Because they need to understand that God has both a destructive and a protective nature.
How does this question and answer tie in with our theme and thesis for this semester?
Theme: Why Your Family Needs to Know the Biblical Timeline…
Thesis: Genesis 3:15 – Prophecy of the serpent crusher
As the biblical timeline unfolds, we learn new things about God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, how the Old and New Testaments are connected, and where this serpent (snake) crusher fits into it all. So far, we have learned that the entire Godhead was involved in creation, God does all things in an orderly way (creation and the Bible), and God prophesied the coming of the snake crusher.
Today, we are going to see more of God’s nature – both destructive and protective. It helps us to see it in order, so we can better understand why things happened the way they did.
We find the story of Noah and the Flood in Genesis 6-8. God decided to destroy the whole earth with a flood, because humanity had come to the point where “every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5b, ESV) However, there was one man on the earth who was righteous – Noah – and God told him to build an ark. Let that sink in. Only one righteous man. This one man was called a preacher (NIV) or herald (ESV) of righteousness. (2 Peter 2:5) This man, obeyed God by building the ark and preparing food for his family and the animals that would be saved with him, even though he had never seen what a flood would or could do. (Hebrews 11:7) He trusted God to protect him.
The rest of the people on earth, because of their rebellious hearts, did not listen or believe what was going to happen. There’s no doubt that they didn’t understand what a flood would do to them. They had never seen one either. Luke 17:26-27 says that they “were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”
I don’t know all the details about these people or Noah and his family. I do, however, know this: “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8, ESV), and he was righteous and blameless (Genesis 6:9, ESV), but the rest of the world was wicked, had evil intentions, “was corrupt in God’s sight,” and filled with violence. (Genesis 6:5,11, ESV) This tells me that God protected Noah and his family from this wicked generation, but He destroyed the rest of the people because they were beyond saving – they were evil.
Matthew 24:36-44 compares the time of Noah and the destruction of the Flood to the time of Jesus’ return. In this passage, Jesus says that the people of Noah’s day were “unaware until the flood came and swept them all away.” (Vs 39, ESV) He also says that it will be the same when He returns, so we must stay awake and be ready. We do not know what time He will come back for us.
One more important thing that I want to mention that connects the Old Testament story of Noah to the New Testament is found in 1 Peter 3:18-22. Peter tells us that, when Christ died, He proclaimed to the spirits of those who “did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you…” (Vss 20-21, ESV) In other words, Jesus (the snake crusher) confronted the rebellious people of Noah’s day. The very people that God was sorry He created and decided to destroy the world because of their evil hearts, Jesus preached to after His death, just before He crushed the devil’s head. On top of all that, Noah was brought safely through the water. The very water that destroyed the world, also cleansed the world. The Flood is a type of baptism which is the water that destroys our old man and cleanses us from our sins. Isn’t that beautiful?
What we learn about God in this lesson:
- God does not tolerate evil. Genesis 6
- God has a destructive side. Genesis 6
- God loves the righteous and wants to be with them. Genesis 6
- God has a protective nature. 1 Peter 3
- God is patient. 1 Peter 3
- God gives us a way to be saved from the destruction of the world. 1 Peter 3
There is so much more that I could tell you about the story of Noah and the Flood and God’s promise to never again destroy the earth by water. We can learn many lessons from it and how the writers of the New Testament used this story to parallel with our own salvation story. It is amazing! But the one thing I believe is most important for you, as a homemaker, to emphasize with your family is that, even though God has a destructive nature and will punish those who rebel against Him, He also has a protective nature and will take care of those who obey Him and live righteously! Teach them to stay awake and be ready for the return of Jesus, the snake crusher!
