GENESIS 7-9 || #genesis #biblestudy #kjvscripture #scripture #bibleverses

Genesis 7 KJV — Description Noah, his family, and appointed animals enter the ark as God closes the door; rain falls for forty days and forty nights and the waters prevail, lifting the ark above the earth; every living thing outside perishes and the flood covers the mountains, the waters prevailing for 150 days. Genesis 8 KJV — Description The floodwaters abate; God remembers Noah and causes a wind to pass over the earth; the ark rests on Ararat; Noah sends out a raven and then a dove, which returns with an olive leaf; when the earth is dry Noah and all in the ark disembark; Noah builds an altar and offers sacrifices, and God promises never again to curse the ground for man’s sake. Genesis 9 KJV — Description God blesses Noah and his sons, establishing new dominion rules for humanity; God institutes the covenant with Noah, commands against shedding human blood, permits meat with restrictions, and sets the rainbow as the sign of His covenant never to destroy all flesh by flood; Noah’s family begins to repopulate the earth, with the chapter closing on the account of Noah’s drunkenness and the resulting family incident. Key themes across Genesis 7–9 Divine judgment and mercy Covenant and divine promise (rainbow as sign) Preservation and new beginning (ark as refuge) Human responsibility and moral law after judgment Renewal of creation and relationship between God and humankind God judges sin but preserves a righteous remnant. New beginnings follow obedience and faith. Promises endure: the rainbow as a perpetual reminder of God’s mercy. Responsibility toward life and community is renewed after renewal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #noahsark #genesis7 #genesis8 #genesis9 #bibleverses #kjv #biblestudy #faith #covenant #rainbowpromise #divinemercy #biblicalthemes #scripturedaily #oldtestament
