The Flood Comes
(
Genesis 7)
A. Heretofore the ark was “...a preparing...” according to God’s longsuffering.
1PE 3:20.
1. It was not a matter of the world not yet being worthy of judgment: the judgment had
already been decreed (
GEN 6:6-7) but sentence delayed until salvation was prepared.
2. So also mankind that fell under sin was preserved until Christ was prepared.
HEB 10:5.
3. NOTE: God-fearing men view His longsuffering as a window of mercy but fools despise
and exploit it.
MAT 24:48-51;
ROM 2:3-6...
