Genesis 7:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 7:14

12 ^aAnd the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark—

14 ^athey and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every ^bsort.

15 And they ^awent into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in ^aas God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.

17 ^aNow the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

18 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, ^aand the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.

Genesis 7:13-16

Here we have very clear evidence of an escape that was originated, planned and engineered by God. It required the cooperative preparation of those who were escaping, because Noah and his sons had to prepare by building the place in which they were going to escape. They were surrounded by worldwide trouble that they could not completely flee from, and so God gathered them into one place while the devastation was going on.

They were prepared both physically in making the ark and spiritually in being righteous before God. The two were working together, the physical and the spiritual.
