Genesis 6:9-7:24

theme
God sends a flood to wipe out all mankind and air-breathing animals, except for Noah’s family and the animals which he has gathered upon the ark which God directed him to build.

key verse
6:17 I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish. But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

related verse
2 Peter 2:5,9 If He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight… then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
