Genesis chapter (7) seven

Genesis 7:1

And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

So this is saying that, The Most High asked noah to come into the boat that he had prepared for The Most High deemed him righteous : meaning a commandment keeper according to

Deuteronomy 6:25 which reads,

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

To be righteous is also when you believe in Themosthigh and act accordingly :

in Genesis chapter 15:6 it reads,

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

So noah was seen as a believer: that kept the commandments of The Most High in his years

Genesis 7:2

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

So here we see The Most High instructed noah that he should take of every clean animal 7 pairs male and female and 7 by 2 is equal to 14 clean animals and of the unclean or abominable animals, he should take in pairs of 2 male and female and 2 by 2 is equal to 4 unclean animals.

Precept : Jasher 6:9 reads,

Two and two came to Noah into the ark, but from the clean animals, and clean fowls, he brought seven couples, as God had commanded him.

Genesis 7:3

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

So here we see noah also brought in seven couples of birds male and female to keep offspring alive on the earth

Genesis 7:4 reads,

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

So here we see that The Most High tells noah that in a week he will bring the rain and that it will rain for roughly a month and 10 days, which will result in the death of all flesh outside the ark

Genesis 7:5

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

So it says that noah listened and did all that The Most High commanded

Genesis 7:6

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

So this is saying when the rain came, noah was 600 years old

Genesis 7:7

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

So we see here that noah had one wife and so did his sons, no one had multiple wives even the amimals were coupled for the order of The Most High is one woman to one man in marriage just as it was from the beginning.

So they went into the ark

Genesis 7:8

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

So this is talking about the animals, birds, and things that go on the belly and on all fours clean and unclean that are on the earth

Genesis 7:9

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

So here we see the animals went into the boat, coupled male and female just as The Most High said

Genesis 7:10

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

So here it says that after a week, the rain came upon the earth

Genesis 7:11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

So this is saying, that noah was 600 years old and in the second month; meaning April the 17th day, it began to rain upon all the earth

Precept: Jubilees 5:23-24 which reads,

And he entered in the sixth (year) thereof, [1308 A.M.] in the second month, on the new moon of the second month, till the sixteenth; and he entered, and all that we brought to him, into the ark, and the Lord closed it from without on the seventeenth evening.

[24]And the Lord opened seven flood-gates of heaven, And the mouths of the fountains of the great deep, seven mouths in number.

Genesis 7:12

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

You can also find this in Jubilees 5:25

Genesis 7:13

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

Genesis 7:14-16

[14] They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

[16] And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

So here we see that they all went into the boat that noah prepared, The Most High then closed the door.

Genesis 7:17

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

So this is saying that it rained on the earth for roughly one month and 10 days and the waters lifted up the boat upon the waters

Genesis 7:18

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 7:19-20

[19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

[20] Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

So here we see that the high hills were called mountains which were covered by the rain water that increased 15 cubits high which is the estimation of the height of a mountain

Genesis 7:21-22

[21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

[22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

So here we see that all living things that were outside of the boat died

Genesis 7:23-24

[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

[24] And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

So here we see that all died, this is a precept to the previous verses. The waters remained on the earth: up to 150 days

PRECEPTS :

• Jasher 6:1-42

• 2 Ezdras 3:8-11

• Ecclesiasticus 44:17-18

CONCLUSION :

The lesson we can gather from this story is that The Most High gives us time and his patience when executing judgement upon the transgressors, we must use faith and repent if we want to be part of the remnant that is saved.

Look at the main reasons why TMH decided to flood the earth.

• Interracial marriage where giants were being born that reached the height of the mountains

• The imaginations of man's heart was wickedness and evil continually.

• The earth was filled with violence

If you fall into any of these categories, there is an urgency to repent so that the flood does not come upon your soul.
