GENESIS 6-10 Tells the story of Noah. How being called of God, he obeyed God and built an ark. He built it for the saving of all who would believe.
Noah is mentioned 9 times outside of the Book of Genesis. In the list of generations, starting with Adam, he’s listed tenth from Adam:
1 Chronicles 1:4 Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
In Isaiah God repeats His oath NOT to flood the world again.
Isaiah 54:9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
In Ezekiel, God speaks of Noah’s righteousness:
Ezekiel 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.
Ezekiel 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
During His earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus tells us of how the world will be before He returns:
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
The Apostle Paul writing to the Hebrews reminds of Noah’s faith and righteousness:
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
And finally, Peter recalls the story of Noah and the flood;
1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
2 Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
