Genesis 7

Noah was 600 years old when the flood came. He and his wife and his sons and their wives went into the boat. They went in to escape the waters of the flood. They went into the boat in groups of two, male and female. This was just as God had commanded Noah. Seven days later the flood started.

THE RAIN FELL FOR 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS.

Genesis 7

They all came to Noah in the boat in groups of two. There was every creature that had the breath of life. One male and one female of every living thing came. It was just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.

KTM

Genesis 7

Water flooded the earth for 40 days. As the water rose, it lifted the boat off the ground. The water continued to rise, and the boat floated on the water above the earth. The water rose so much that even the highest mountains under the sky were covered by it. The water continued to rise until it was more than 20 feet above the mountains.

Sara

So everything on dry land died.

This means everything that had the breath of life in its nose. So God destroyed from the earth every living thing that was on the land. This was every man, animal, crawling thing and bird of the sky. All that was left was Noah and what was with him in the boat.

Multiple Choice

God wanted all humans and animals to die because:

• they were evil.

• they ate his pizza.

And the waters continued to cover the earth for 150 days.

Then God made wind that made the water go down.

10 months later, the tops of mountains could be seen.

40 days later, Noah sent out a raven

Then he sent out a dove, but it came back because there was no dry land to live on.

Seven days later, he sent the dove out again, and...

it came back with an olive branch!

Multiple Choice

What did the olive branch mean?

• PIZZA TIME!

• There was land!

• The dove was hungry

Now Noah was 601 years old!

After 27 more days the land was completely dry.

God told Noah to get everyone and all the animals off the boat.

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and made sacrifices to him.

The Lord was pleased and he said:

I will never again destroy every living thing on the earth as I did this time.

“As long as the earth continues, there will be planting and harvest. Cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night will not stop.”

He sent a rainbow as His promise.

What can we remember when we see a rainbow?

- God's sacrifice

- God's promise

- Noah's dedication

- New life

- HOPE
