WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.700 And open up your Bibles again to Genesis chapter 6 and 7. 00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:15.440 For those old enough to remember, I'm sure the date, December 26, 2004, is scarred into 00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:15.800 your memory. 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:23.219 It was the date of the Boxing Day tsunami in the Indian Ocean, a magnitude 9.2 earthquake 00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:31.579 sent a tsunami hurtling to the coast of Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and it killed 00:00:31.579 --> 00:00:33.179 hundreds of thousands of people. 00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:37.780 And I came across a story about the tsunami recently. 00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:40.740 I stumbled across it even before I was thinking about Noah and the Flood. 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.420 I came across the story of Tilly Smith. 00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:44.580 Have you heard of Tilly Smith? 00:00:45.620 --> 00:00:51.520 Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old British girl, was on holiday with her family in Thailand. 00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:55.120 And on that Boxing Day, she was on the beach. 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.719 And she started to notice something strange. 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.699 The water was bubbling on the beach. 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.939 And the tide was retreating away. 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:12.379 And she, in that moment, she remembered a geography lesson from a few weeks earlier. 00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:16.739 And she remembered, that's the sign a tsunami's coming. 00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:22.799 And so she ran and she warned her family, who then told the hotel. 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.599 And then the hotel got everyone off the beach and out of the pool and back to safety. 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:34.379 And because they listened to Tilly Smith, she saved probably hundreds of people that day. 00:01:35.559 --> 00:01:38.799 She even won the Pride of Britain Award in 2005. 00:01:39.199 --> 00:01:42.379 It goes to show you can be a national hero if you listen in geography. 00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:52.039 But I want us to see, the story of Tilly Smith and the story of Noah are very similar at heart. 00:01:52.899 --> 00:01:59.099 And not simply because they involve water and a flood, but because the heart of both these stories 00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:01.859 is that they both involve a warning. 00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:11.500 What is key to the story of Tilly Smith is that she gave a warning and people listened and lives were saved. 00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:14.780 And that is key to the story of Noah. 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.900 God gave a warning, Noah listened, and lives were saved. 00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:23.659 And so there are lots of important things in this passage. 00:02:23.799 --> 00:02:27.639 There is a flood and an ark and animals going in two by two. 00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:29.460 Lots of things we might be familiar with. 00:02:29.859 --> 00:02:37.340 But what I want us to take away from this is, I want us to be like we're on the beach next to Tilly Smith. 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.819 And I want us to hear the warning. 00:02:39.819 --> 00:02:43.959 We need to hear God's warning in this passage. 00:02:44.079 --> 00:02:45.340 We need to listen to it. 00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:48.639 And when we do, lives will be saved. 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.139 So as we dive into this, yes, there is warning for Noah. 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.240 But there is also a warning for us sounding through this passage. 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:04.219 And the first thing we need to hear in this is the first thing that Noah hears. 00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:09.780 We need to hear God has planned to judge this world. 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.719 It's my first point today if you want to follow along. 00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.680 God has planned to judge this world. 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.680 The passage starts well, doesn't it? 00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:18.120 Verse 9. 00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:20.300 These are the generations of Noah. 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.040 Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. 00:03:23.219 --> 00:03:24.300 Noah walked with God. 00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:27.820 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.380 There's Noah, a son who we know is going to bring rest. 00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:33.920 And he's a righteous man. 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:34.900 He walks with God. 00:03:35.540 --> 00:03:36.660 And he has sons. 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.240 This is promising for the promise. 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.300 We have sons. 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:42.080 We have righteousness. 00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:44.840 We have the immortal bloodline still going. 00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:46.120 It's still here on earth. 00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:48.480 God is still bringing salvation. 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.799 But something else is on earth. 00:03:52.359 --> 00:03:52.799 Verse 11. 00:03:54.299 --> 00:03:57.699 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight. 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.659 And the earth was filled with violence. 00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:02.239 And God saw the earth. 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:03.979 And behold, it was corrupt. 00:04:04.739 --> 00:04:07.039 For all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:12.479 Yes, there is righteousness in Noah and his family. 00:04:12.579 --> 00:04:14.239 There is color in this world. 00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:19.120 But God looks down and sees everything else. 00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:23.779 And the whole world is just filled with violence. 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.779 It's corrupt. 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:28.899 It's like rotten meat. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.920 You know when you get chicken and you put it in the fridge? 00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:33.399 It's good at first. 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:35.060 But you leave it too long. 00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:36.259 What happens? 00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:38.620 It rots. 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:40.459 It becomes corrupt. 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:42.920 And you smell it. 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.360 You peel back the film. 00:04:44.459 --> 00:04:45.459 And it's rancid. 00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:47.680 And you can't use it. 00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:48.360 It's useless. 00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:50.300 It's no good anymore. 00:04:51.220 --> 00:04:54.720 And it's only going to start to infect more things in the fridge if you leave it there. 00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:58.519 Well, God smells the world. 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.220 And it's rancid. 00:05:00.220 --> 00:05:05.400 And this says something important about God. 00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:10.760 God isn't blind to what's going on in this world. 00:05:11.900 --> 00:05:16.040 God isn't this detached force that has created the world. 00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:17.680 But he isn't really involved in it. 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.540 He isn't this grandfather in the sky that's just happy that people are enjoying themselves. 00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:28.640 No, God is a moral judge over this world. 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.560 He knows the ins and the outs. 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.960 And he morally assesses each and every moment. 00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:39.420 It all plays out before his eyes. 00:05:40.780 --> 00:05:42.080 Did you notice that language? 00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:44.939 That the earth was corrupt in God's sight. 00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:48.959 And God saw the earth was corrupt. 00:05:50.779 --> 00:05:57.199 Our heart, our intentions, our thoughts, what we do in secret behind closed doors, 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.160 we might be able to hide it from people. 00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:02.079 But we cannot hide it from God. 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.480 Our lives are playing out before God. 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.620 And he morally judges it. 00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:13.060 There is no such thing as, well, I think it's right. 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:15.060 It's right for me, so therefore it's right. 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:16.199 No. 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.240 God is the judge. 00:06:19.819 --> 00:06:22.139 And he looks at the world, and what does he see? 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:23.240 Violence. 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:25.079 Corruption. 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.079 And how bad is it that the earth is filled with it? 00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:30.160 All flesh. 00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:31.340 Every creature. 00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:39.579 And in many ways, it's like the creation has become the opposite of what it's designed to be. 00:06:40.619 --> 00:06:41.979 It was meant to be good. 00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:44.539 God saw that it was very good. 00:06:45.359 --> 00:06:47.259 But now God sees it as corrupt. 00:06:48.539 --> 00:06:52.519 It was meant to be filled with life and peace and harmony. 00:06:52.979 --> 00:06:55.299 A united humanity serving God. 00:06:55.859 --> 00:06:57.179 But now it's filled with violence. 00:06:59.219 --> 00:07:00.359 Man against man. 00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:02.699 The stabbings. 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:03.439 The muggings. 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.939 And even down to the animals. 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:06.719 Every creature. 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.019 The mosquito spreads the malaria. 00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:12.279 The XL bully dog attacks the child. 00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:18.199 Creation was good, but Adam took that fruit, and now it's rancid. 00:07:20.179 --> 00:07:22.159 And how does God respond to this? 00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:26.539 How does God feel about his creation becoming this? 00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:28.899 Well, God is planning something, verse 13. 00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:31.279 And God said to Noah, 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.339 I have determined to make an end of all flesh. 00:07:36.539 --> 00:07:39.179 For the earth is filled with violence through them. 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.859 Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 00:07:44.359 --> 00:07:48.000 God's response to this violence, this corruption playing out before him, 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:49.879 is to wipe it out. 00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:52.379 Destroy it. 00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:56.519 God has planned to judge this world. 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:04.060 And before we go any further, we need to realise this is right. 00:08:05.659 --> 00:08:06.899 This is just. 00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:11.679 That this is the appropriate response from God. 00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:16.339 Before we are tempted to think God has no right to do this. 00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:20.899 And before we start flinching at these words, just realise where we are. 00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:23.239 That this is God's world. 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:28.100 God's God intended for his praise, for him to dwell here with us, 00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:30.860 and for the world to be glowing with his glory. 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:36.580 And he is a good, generous, holy, morally perfect God. 00:08:38.180 --> 00:08:40.539 Yet we have taken what he has given us, 00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:43.220 we've not said thank you, 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.759 instead we've taken it and we've just made it rancid. 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:51.019 The lives and the hearts that he's given us, 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.500 all the gifts that he's given us, 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.019 we've spat in his face and we've gone our own way. 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.360 And so there is this glaring stench in the world. 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:03.659 And it's us. 00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:10.179 And so it is right that this evil be wiped out. 00:09:12.819 --> 00:09:14.600 It's like when you get dog poo on your shoe. 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.899 It happens daily around here. 00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:18.980 You've basically got to do hopscotch and eating 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:20.340 just to get around the dog poo, don't you? 00:09:21.540 --> 00:09:23.580 And what happens when you get dog poo on your shoe? 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.920 You don't just say, oh, that's fine. 00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:27.200 Let's keep going about my day. 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.920 Let's get a bit more dog poo on it. 00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:29.440 That's fine. 00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:32.700 No, no, you go straight to wipe it off. 00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:34.920 You go to the outside tap, 00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:37.120 you wash it off, you disinfect it. 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:38.660 You need to wipe it away. 00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:41.360 It's not right to leave it there. 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.879 Well, it's not right for God 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.659 to leave the smear of sin in this world. 00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:51.320 In fact, it would be unfair 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.800 if God didn't respond this way. 00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:58.620 How do we feel when someone breaks into our home 00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:00.300 and just gets away with it? 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:02.480 It's not okay, is it? 00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:05.820 How do we feel when the abuser 00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:07.539 only gets a couple of years in prison 00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:08.100 for what they've done? 00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:10.759 It's outrageous, isn't it? 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.920 We know, we know evil needs to be dealt with. 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.779 Well, it would be outrageous 00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:22.519 for God to do nothing right now. 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.879 This is the right response to a fallen humanity. 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:28.960 And so God warns Noah, 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.560 this is what's coming. 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.580 I'm going to blot out this world. 00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:35.840 I'm going to turn the tap on 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.000 and wash it away. 00:10:39.520 --> 00:10:40.280 And this, 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.759 this is the very same reason 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.240 why a final judgment is coming to us. 00:10:48.520 --> 00:10:50.800 God has set a day in his calendar 00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:53.340 when all the evil in this world 00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:54.780 will be blotted out. 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.820 Christ will return 00:10:57.820 --> 00:10:59.520 to disinfect 00:10:59.520 --> 00:11:01.420 and destroy 00:11:01.420 --> 00:11:02.640 every drop of sin. 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.100 and every single creature 00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:06.120 is going to be brought 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.600 before the judgment seat of God 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.720 and every life 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:09.919 that is not forgiven 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:10.639 in the Lord Jesus, 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.460 that life will be destroyed. 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.240 And it will be 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.000 a never-ending destruction. 00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:19.639 And as Paul preached 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:20.379 a couple of weeks ago, 00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:21.500 it means hell. 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.439 And so this flood 00:11:25.439 --> 00:11:27.980 is a foretaste, 00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:29.899 it's a preview 00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:31.659 of what's to come 00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:32.219 for this world. 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.059 This flood, 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.399 it's like the trailer 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.919 to the actual film 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:37.620 that's about to come. 00:11:39.199 --> 00:11:41.039 God still has planned 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.980 to judge this world. 00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:45.299 And like this flood, 00:11:45.439 --> 00:11:46.699 it's going to be global 00:11:46.699 --> 00:11:48.059 and it's going to be catastrophic. 00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:51.479 And so like Noah, 00:11:51.739 --> 00:11:53.500 we need to hear 00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:54.079 the warning. 00:11:55.719 --> 00:11:56.699 This chapter 00:11:56.699 --> 00:11:58.199 is like watching 00:11:58.199 --> 00:11:59.399 the water bubble 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.619 and the tide retreat. 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:02.159 It's like hearing 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.779 Tilly Smith. 00:12:04.839 --> 00:12:06.119 And so let me ask you, 00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:07.459 do you know 00:12:07.459 --> 00:12:08.299 this day is coming? 00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:11.659 Is this day 00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:12.619 in your calendar? 00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:15.700 because it is 00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:16.639 in God's calendar. 00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:19.779 And so this means 00:12:19.779 --> 00:12:20.960 listening to a warning 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.320 about something 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.960 you cannot yet see. 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.360 We are currently 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:26.980 on the beach 00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:28.320 but we can't see 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:29.480 what's beyond the horizon. 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:31.220 The judgment, 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.220 it's something 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:33.539 that we can't see yet 00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:34.519 and it may seem 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:35.320 ridiculous to you. 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.519 It may seem fantastical 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:38.860 but on that boxing day, 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:40.120 the idea of a tsunami 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.740 might have seemed ridiculous. 00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:44.060 But just because 00:12:44.060 --> 00:12:45.060 you can't see it, 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:45.700 it doesn't mean 00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:46.379 it's not coming. 00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:48.840 And so by faith, 00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:49.960 we need to hear 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.060 what God is warning now 00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:52.460 and we need to put 00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:53.440 that date in our calendar. 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:56.980 Do you, 00:12:57.060 --> 00:12:58.039 do you know 00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.539 this day is coming? 00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:02.720 But God, 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.620 God isn't just 00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:05.519 giving this warning 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.180 to gloat. 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:07.779 No, 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.259 he's telling Noah 00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:11.600 because God is planning 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:12.539 something else 00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:13.360 in history. 00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:14.860 Yes, 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.639 God has planned 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:16.439 to judge this world 00:13:16.439 --> 00:13:16.879 but 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.759 God has planned 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:19.939 to save this world. 00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:22.259 That's my second point today. 00:13:22.319 --> 00:13:23.059 God has planned 00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:24.179 to save this world. 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.120 So as God looks down 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:27.799 on this world, 00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:28.259 yes, 00:13:28.319 --> 00:13:29.340 all flesh is corrupt 00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:31.480 but God sees something else, 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:31.919 Noah. 00:13:32.819 --> 00:13:33.679 And what is Noah like? 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:34.340 Righteous, 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.139 blameless. 00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:36.799 Now, 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:37.439 this doesn't mean 00:13:37.439 --> 00:13:38.240 sinless 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.860 but it does mean 00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:40.779 he's right with God. 00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:42.100 He's not like 00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:43.240 the corruption out there. 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:44.419 This man is different. 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:45.639 He's walking with God. 00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:47.940 And what does God 00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:48.539 say to Noah? 00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:49.060 Yes, 00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:49.759 he warns him 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.620 judgment is coming 00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:51.820 but he tells Noah 00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:52.740 that there's something 00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.700 to do about it. 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:55.680 There's a way 00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:56.279 to prepare 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:56.940 for what's coming. 00:13:57.060 --> 00:13:57.680 Verse 14, 00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.259 make for yourself 00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:00.220 an ark. 00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:02.519 Make a boat 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.699 130 metres long, 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.100 longer than a football pitch, 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.039 20 metres wide, 00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:10.620 13 metres high. 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:12.779 Noah's ark, 00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:13.379 it's basically 00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:14.539 a huge barge. 00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.759 It's like a giant 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.439 wooden floating coffin. 00:14:20.939 --> 00:14:22.059 A company in America, 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:22.620 you might have seen it, 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:23.240 a company in America 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:24.480 has actually reconstructed 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:24.899 the ark 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:26.039 of what it might have been like 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.600 and you can go inside 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:28.379 and walk around 00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:29.340 and see what it might have 00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:29.879 looked like. 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.220 And the thing 00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:32.039 is massive. 00:14:33.439 --> 00:14:33.919 And it's got 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.559 three decks, 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.080 a roof 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.159 and Noah makes it 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:36.840 watertight. 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.399 And why an ark? 00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:39.820 Well, 00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:40.600 verse 17, 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:42.899 because the destruction 00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:43.799 is going to be a flood 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.899 and a flood 00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:46.759 needs a boat. 00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.580 And God says to Noah, 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.399 yes, 00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:51.759 here is the warning 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.500 about what's coming 00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.700 but here is what 00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:54.139 you're going to do 00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:54.620 about it. 00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:56.360 You're going to make 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:56.820 this ark 00:14:56.820 --> 00:14:58.299 and this ark 00:14:58.299 --> 00:14:59.860 is going to take you 00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:01.379 through what is coming. 00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:04.120 And so God makes 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:04.539 a covenant. 00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:06.139 He makes a binding 00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:07.539 promise with Noah. 00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.159 God promises 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.039 he's going to do 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:10.259 something. 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:10.919 Verse 18, 00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:13.000 but I will establish 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.000 my covenant with you 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.060 and your wife 00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:16.940 and your sons 00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:17.879 and their wives 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:18.700 are going to be included 00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:19.340 in this covenant 00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:21.000 and you're all 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.000 going to enter this ark 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.360 and I'm not 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:24.159 going to let 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.240 this flood touch you. 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.080 all my love 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.659 and protection 00:15:29.659 --> 00:15:31.259 and all my promises 00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:32.639 it's all going to be 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:33.299 for you Noah. 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.940 We're used to pictures 00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:37.460 of the ark 00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:38.580 in children's stories 00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:38.919 aren't we? 00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:40.259 You can get those 00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:41.680 wooden toys as well 00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:42.879 filled with animals. 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.480 I think we might have 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.899 one in the crash. 00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:44.879 We've got one at home. 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:47.299 And the ark 00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:48.340 we can be tempted 00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:48.659 to think 00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:49.480 it's just a bit 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.060 of a novelty 00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:50.659 right? 00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:51.799 It's just a bit 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:52.519 of fun for children. 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.720 It's one of the good 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:54.559 picture stories 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.100 for kids. 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.159 But we need to realise 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.039 next time you open up 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:01.259 a children's Bible 00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:03.559 realise what that boat is. 00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:06.059 That ark 00:16:06.059 --> 00:16:07.279 is God's gift 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.259 of salvation 00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:08.919 to the world. 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:11.480 God has planned 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.439 to save this world 00:16:12.439 --> 00:16:14.279 and that salvation 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.659 it's in that ark. 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:18.679 But why? 00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:20.039 Why is God saying this? 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.519 If justice demands 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:22.220 the whole earth 00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:22.860 be wiped out 00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:24.039 why tell Noah 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:24.740 to build the ark? 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.480 Well it's because 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.259 the God who sees 00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:29.740 the corruption 00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.379 of this world 00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:32.500 who sees 00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:33.539 all the dirt 00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:34.159 of our lives 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:35.379 that God 00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:36.340 who sees us 00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:38.600 he is also 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.879 a wonderfully 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:41.439 gracious God. 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.240 We must never think 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.399 God announcing 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:46.919 judgment 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:48.120 is cruel 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:48.819 or mean. 00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:51.360 God's warning 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:51.700 here 00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.860 is so 00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.820 so gracious 00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:56.360 because if God 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.260 stayed silent 00:16:57.260 --> 00:16:58.200 right now 00:16:58.200 --> 00:16:59.480 what would happen 00:16:59.480 --> 00:16:59.900 to Noah? 00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:02.080 He would just join 00:17:02.080 -->
