Genesis 7
🌱God told Noah that the flood would begin in 7 days and it would rain nonstop for 40 days and 40 nights. Noah was 600 years old when the flood began. The water rose so high the highest mountains were covered by at least 15 cubits. And all flesh died on the Earth, all of mankind and all of the animals too. The water remained on the Earth for 150 days.
🌱God is a God of love but also of justice. God will be judging sinful people. God’s judgment is coming but we will be saved by the shelter of Jesus Christ.
