Genesis 6:18

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.”

Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.”

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”

that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”

I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”

“For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.

Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.

“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.

God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

“Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.” ’

though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness,” says the Lord Yahweh.

though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.”

The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.

As it was in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

“In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—

I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.

Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.

“ ‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

Yahweh will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,

In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children.

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.

She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,

For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

For this is a word of promise, “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”

“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
