The Great Deluge
Gerald Harris
Genesis 6:13-22
From Genesis to Revelation the Bible teaches that a day is coming when the world will stand before God in judgment. God tells us He has appointed a day. This day is the ''X'' point in history. You and I will stand there as individuals. America will stand there as a nation, and so will every other nation, and people from everywhere.
Now, when will this day of judgment come? Jesus said, ''As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the day of the Son of man.'' In other words, as it was before the flood it is going to be again. As it was, so will it be. When conditions that existed in Noah's day are reproduced in history, according to Jesus, the end is near.
Now, who was Noah? Noah was a man who believed God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. The book of Genesis tells us that he was a righteous man who found grace in the eyes of the Lord. He walked with God. He dared to stand for something. When everyone else was falling for anything, he dared to stand alone.
One day God spoke to Noah about the wickedness of the human race. The actions of men and women grieved Him to the heart. God said that He intended to send a flood that would destroy mankind, and He told Noah to build an ark to save his household and the animals.
The Bible says that Noah believed God. He didn't argue. He didn't say, ''Well, Lord, there's no scientific evidence that any flood is coming. I haven't heard it mentioned on the six o'clock news. I haven't read anything about it in the morning newspaper.''
However, in the letter to the Hebrews we are told that ''Noah acted by faith, that being warned by God of things not seen as yet, and being moved with fear, he prepared the ark.''
Noah had a holy fear. He was terrified of the judgment of God and decided to do what God said. When God told him, ''Noah, I want you to build this ship, 450 feet long and 70 feet wide and 45 feet high, with one window and one side doo ...
