Genesis 7 is the account of the flood and how God protected Noah's family and some of the animals. I noticed a few aspects in this chapter that demonstrated God's sovereignty and His faithfulness. First, the historical account of the events match exactly the way the Lord told Noah that they would occur and every promise was fulfilled to Noah. There is an obvious emphasis on this throughout the chapter , with details and timing of events repeated. Also, the phrase , "as the Lord had commanded", is repeated several times. I found it interesting that even the animals were described as doing exactly as they had been commanded by the Lord. I was also reminded of one of my favorite details of this story , that "the Lord shut them in" before the rain and floods began. Finally, in the last four verses of the chapter , essentially the same statement is repeated four times -- "all the living things on earth died", "everything died that breathed and lived" , "every living thing on earth was wiped out", "people, animals large and small, and birds...they were all destroyed". Maybe this emphasis was for those who might in future days doubt the vastness of the destruction or the severity of God's judgment on the wickedness of mankind of that time.
