Bible Mount: Ararat-The Mount of Promise.

Text: Genesis chapters 6,7,8. NLT

Genesis 6:17,18 NLT
17 “Look! I am about to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every living thing that breathes. Everything on earth will die.
(Covenant)
18 But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives.

Genesis 7:1,5 NLT
1 When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
5 So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.

Genesis 8:1-4 NLT
1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the flood waters began to recede.
2 The underground waters stopped flowing, and the torrential rains from the sky were stopped.
3 So the flood waters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days,
4 exactly five months from the time the flood began, the boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

After the flood:

Genesis 8:18-22 NLT
18 So Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives left the boat.
19 And all of the large and small animals and birds came out of the boat, pair by pair.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose.
(Covenant)
21 And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.
22 As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”

Covenant: An agreement between two people. God Covenanted with Noah, that “never again (would He) destroy all living things. “
