The Flood

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
New Year na New Year the Chapters which i'm about to summarize reminds me of one of my most unforgettable experience last year, an experience of survival because of this FLASH FLOOD! urgh.. But I believe God has something much better for me and everyone..

Anyway, Genesis 6-8 is the story of "NOAH'S ARK".. This is one of the most famous stories in the Bible, it's about Noah making an Ark because God said there will be a flood. Noah that time was 600 years old and inside the ark were animals (male and female of every living), Noah's wife, Noah's sons and wives of his sons.

The reason why God overflooded the earth is because He was very sorry that He made people on earth  whose thoughts and plans were evil like everyone was so cruel and violent. But ofcourse, naa man jui buotan diba? hehe.. He chose Noah because Noah  is the only one who pleases the Lord, and yeahhh.. That's it, Noah  did everything the Lord told Him.. Although it was not mentioned how many days Noah created and finished the boat, but it was mentioned that there were 40 days and 40 nights that they were inside the boat because of the flood.. And yeah,, when the water receded, basta Noah sent a Raven(dove) outside the window for 3 times, the first time was that the Raven went back(it means that there were still water everywhere), 2nd time (7days later) was that the Raven went back in the evening with a green leaf from an olive tree and the 3rd time (after 7days again) the Raven didn't come back.. At that time, Noah knew that it was already safe to get out from the boat and OH! I forgot, the boat landed in Mount Ararat. Hehe...

"The smell of the burning offering pleased God, and He said: Never again will I punish the earth for the sinful things its people do. All of them have evil thoughts from the time they are young, but I will never destroy everything that breathes, as I did this time." -Genesis 8:21 

So, WOW! How great and amazing is our Lord is right?? He can do anything He wants and He is the most powerful of all!!
