I am really privileged to study this chapter.

The flood was global, but did not rise up over the mountains, such as Everest. The Garden of Eden, Adam down to Noah did not take place in the Middle East, but that is where the Ark rested. Noah and his sons named the new places after the old.

God always gives people choice to choose life or death, like the days of Noah He gave them opportunity to enter the arch and be saved from the flood. We have also been given opportunity to choose Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Instead of fellow men entering the ark that Noah had built, animals crept in two by two. The animal kingdom obeyed God's voice whilst men chose otherwise. Sin can blind you, enshroud your thinking until you cannot hear even a simple instruction from God. Yet nature lives in perfect harmony with God's word. It’s just a matter of choice. That ark was meant for men but Noah's toil for 120 years was all in vain. Besides his family, only animals responded. Luke19:40, And He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these (disciples) should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Let’s all remember that God commanded that male and female of all flesh went into the Ark. Even the man from the 6th day creation went in. That is what I believe.

God saves and leaves the people the privilege to believe their own allusiveness, instead of the reveled word of God.

This was the reason why there was no longer giants animal lives among us today, since they all wiped out from the earth when there were flood for over more than 5 months on earth. Noah did not bring them to the ark, because the ark wouldn't fit for gigantic animals.

@Peter,
Sure a 600 year man did that. Using all materials from his vicinity, there were no scarcity of material as we now have, rain forests were still untouched, so it was just a matter of cutting and assembling.
600 years old is very very old age compared to our days, but not to theirs. Just like Moses, the Bible says ‘’ And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.’’
Those people truly walked with God who was their strength.
God bless you.

I must say that I am impressed that a 600 year old guy could build a gigantic ship. Did they have Home Depot in those days?

Seven of the clean were taken; two of everything else.
Lori's comment on 10/14/2012, 12:11pm...
Adamite civilization was much larger than today’s due to nature, not satanic interbreeding, we are sometimes told of finding skeletons in excess of 17 feet tall, comparing that cubit by today’s standards would be nearly incalculable.

@Doubting Thomas,
Definitely the Bible does NOT contradict itself because these are GOD’s words and in every way he´s perfect (No Mistakes). It’s just the way we as people read his word, just ask God to help you get a more clear understanding of the word.
André's comment on 9/05/2012, 6:25am...
@Peter,
Of course there was not such a story like Santa Claus's sled. Not only the possibility of containing pairs of species and even seven pairs of pure ones could be questioned sense knowledge wise, but also the means to bring them to Noah and finally in (not ON) the Ark. All such are questions that need answers.
Now you can find the dimensions of the Ark in Genesis 6:15, and convert them to our current measuring units to see how unthinkably huge was that ship… But how did Noah manage to draw pairs of each specie in the Ark? It is unimaginable, but above all we can understand, GOD was in charge of HIS own business, Noah was there just for implementation, but the project was GOD’s…
GOD bless you.
Pete's comment on 9/04/2012, 8:47pm...
How did Noah fit all of those animals on the ark ? If an atheist ever asks you that question, here is your reply:
The ones that couldn't fit rode in Santa Claus's sled.
Lorral Weaver's comment on 8/25/2012, 4:44pm...
To doubting Thomas: The additional animals by sevens told to Noah, by God were to be used for eating & for sacrificing to God, see Gen 8: 20-22. there is no contradiction, both numbers apply. the twos were to be used to replenish the Earth.
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 8/11/2012, 3:59pm...
The important thing to remember about the commands that were given to Noah,is that he obeyed all that God had commanded him to do, from gathering the animals two of each kind, to building the ark. Eight souls were saved because of Noah's obedience to the word of God. Noah was righteous, because in faith he believed, and acted according to the commands of God. We too must be like Noah, and believe that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except by Him. God is not going to destroy the world with a flood next time, but with fire. II Peter 3 tells about this, and God is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance. Who has believed the report? To whom shall the arm of the Lord be extended? Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to Him must believe that He is, and will reward those who diligently seek Him. So let us not try to understand all of the particulars, but let us obey the commands.
Doubting Thomas's comment on 8/10/2012, 3:20pm...
If the Bible is the inerrant word of God, then why are there contradictions between Genesis 6 & 7?
Gen 7:2-3 says clean beasts & fowl are to be taken by sevens. Gen 6:19 says to take two of everything.
Which is it? Even if this is true, both can't be right.
John's comment on 7/06/2012, 1:55am...
St Luke 17.30 is fulfilled in our days since the Son Of Man has come as he promised in the the days when he walked on before his death and ascent to heaven.Gen 7 warns us to hear the voice of Elijah the prophet who is a type of Noah and come to Christ before the door who is Christ is shut. The world is in sordomite condition and the holy fire of God will consume the proud and ungodly whose hearts are hardened by the god of this evil world. There will be repeat when all that is abominable on the surface of the earth and this time even under the waters will be consumed by fire from God. Hide your righteous in thy ark of ages oh loving Father in heaven

Mountains were covered already in verse 19, then verse 20 the water rose 15 cubits above the mountains.
Mark's comment on 6/20/2012, 1:10am...
in Gen 6,GOD instructed noah to build an ark 300 cubits long,50 cubits wide,and 30 cubits high,and in Gen 7,after the rain is mentioned the water went up only 15 cubits high and all the mountains were covered. WOW its hard to fathom an ark twice as high, as the highest mountain.to build such an ark, those eight people had great lungs and stamina,wow is all i can say,...something wrong here?

Everyone sees the destruction of man and all thing with the breadth of life in this chapter but I see a new beginning, a newness of life...and I'm keying into Vs 11....the 17th day in the second month after my birthday as a remarkable day in this year 2012 shall be a remarkable day in my life, I have told God about it and I want all true believers (those who believe in their hearts and have confessed with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and the Messiah of all mankind) to agree with me concerning this day in Jesus name, Amen. God bless you all....Jesus reigns for ever!!!

Joseph's comment on 12/02/2011, 10:44am...
God asked Noah's t bring in clean and unclean animals onto the Ark. How did Noah kew which is clean and which is unclean, because the bible didn't define clean and unclean until after Noah's life?
Vicomte13's comment on 9/16/2011, 8:27pm...
Jimmy's Genesis asks if Methuselah died in the Flood. Probably not. How do we know? Because of his name. "Methuselah" literally means "His death shall bring". It doesn't say WHAT it shall bring, but it is true that if you do the mathematical calculations of the genealogical table in Genesis, you find that Methuselah does indeed die in the same year as the Flood.
You also discover that Methuselah is the longest-lived man in the Bible.
So, with the naming Methuselah, God gives a warning to the world "His death shall bring..." the end. But with the length of Methuselah's life, we see how long-suffering and patient God is with man, even in all of human sinfulness. God pronounces the doom: the death of THIS man shall be the stroke of the clock that unleashes the end of the world (by Flood), but in the length of Methuselah's life, we see God drawing out that thread longer than ever before, reluctant to cut it and thereby have to be true to his word.
But in the end God does cut the thread of Methuselah's life, and in that name itself we can practically see the scene. As the elderly Methuselah closes his eyes and releases his final breath, the skies open up and the earth cracks open and the waters pour out upon the earth.
His death brought...the Flood.
