Matthew 12/4
Michael, I provided an answer to you on the different commands given to Noah
about 10 days ago, and have not seen as response coming back from you. Am I
to assume that this is it?????
As for God's protection of Noah, note the following:
Gen 6:17-18
17 "And behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven;
everything that is on the earth shall perish.
18 "But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark--
you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
(NAS)
The whole situation concerning Noah's ark is impossible without the
involvement of God. Here we see God saying that He will destroy the world,
but make covenant with Noah and his family if they will enter the ark. I do
not know if God had to act miraculously during the ark's voyage or not, but
clearly in my opinion Noah and his family are under God's protection while
in the ark as they have obeyed Him.
In Christ,
Matthee
