Hey friends, welcome back. Today we're diving into one of my um passages, favorite passages of scripture, Genesis 8, 6 through 22. You know, we've been talking about the flood, the ark, all of that incredible survival story and protection from God, um, how God made a way and the flood served a purpose, and it was a source of the ark was a source of protection. It was also a signal of the divine provision that God provides for us. Um but what happens after the year of the flood is over? The rains have stopped, and the water is starting to go down, and the ark has landed somewhere, um, the the mountains of Ararat, but from all Noah knew, um, he didn't realize where he was, you know. And then what happens after that, after the rain stops? Um, what does Noah do after he's been cooped up in the Ark for over a year with his family and all of these animals, right? So let's dive into these verses. Um, these verses hold a lot of information about obedience and timing uh and what it really means to wait on God. All right, so let's dig in. So picture this. It's been 40 days since the rain stopped. The ark is still uh, well, it's it's actually kind of come to a landing place, um, but there's still very obviously water around the ark. Um, and so um, you know, the window of the ark was actually in the top of the ark. So Noah really couldn't see necessarily right below him. He could probably see far away from him, um, and he probably could still see the water. So Noah's got his entire family, plus two of every animal, seven of some of the sacrificial animals, and all of this in this massive wooden boat. And he's wondering, okay, God, when can we get out of here? I'm sure after having been trapped in there for a year, they're probably ready to get off of this boat. So, what does he do? So it says that he opens a window and he releases a raven. Now, here's the thing, and I love that the Bible is actually so specific about this because there's a specific reason why the birds that Noah sent out were chosen. Ravens are wild birds, they're not domesticated. Um, they also eat dead things, which means that they can survive on literally anything. So sending out this raven was kind of like just a precursor to the absolute worst possible survivable conditions that were out there. The raven flies around the ark, and instead of coming back, uh he finds he it's finding food and places to rest on its own. So um he the raven does not want to come back to the ark, and so it's gonna do whatever it can to stay away from the ark. And so the raven is is an indicator of okay, where are things at? It's a it's like a it's like a crude precursory indicator. So here's the strategy. Ravens are tree-dwelling birds, they nest high off the ground, they can actually live, they never want to be really on the ground there, unless there's carry on on the ground, the dead things. Um, and so they tend to stay in the trees. And even if there's no completely dry land yet, a raven can find a branch to perch on. So Noah's basically using the raven as a is there any land test or any trees or anything for this bird to land on. So that was the first bird that was sent out. This tree-dwelling, very crude, uh wild bird. And it doesn't come back. So then Noah sends out a bird that is a little bit more, I don't want to say civilized, but it's a little bit more like cautious. It's it's more of a a preening bird. It's it's a dove. Um, and so he sends out a dove. Doves are actually ground-dwelling birds, they don't roost very high off the ground. Uh they nest, they make their nest from the ground uh with twigs from the ground. Uh so a dove is looking for a specific type of living situation. It's looking for dry ground, it's looking for vegetation, um, low vegetation that it can live off of, and it needs to be able to eat food that um either fresh uh vegetation or like bugs on the ground, things like that. So in verse 7, the gr the dove comes back, which means that the the ground is not dry enough. Um, there's nowhere for it to really land and rest. Um, and so the ground just isn't ready yet. So you can see like there's a strategy here, right? Noah isn't just randomly throwing birds out the window, he understands the nature of the creatures and he's using that knowledge to assess the situation. It's actually very wise. So then we fast forward seven days. Noah sends the dove out again. This time it returns with an olive branch in its beak. Okay, so what does that mean? You know, and we there's pictures of um peace, and the olive branch represents, um, also the dove represents peace and and um you know hope and things like that. And that's very symbolic, but there's actually like a little bit of scientific backing to this about why the dove carried back a certain branch um and what that indicated. And so the the olive branch, it's not just a like a it is symbolic, but it's not just a sign, it's it's vegetation. This is life coming back to earth. Um, either the olive tree survived the flood in certain areas nearby, or they're regrowing. And so olive trees don't actually get very tall, they only grow about 50 feet tall. So they're very kind of low trees or bushes. Um and so this is an indicator really of how high the flood water or how much the flood waters have receded. If if this dove is bringing back an olive tree branch, then it's bringing back low vegetation, which means the ground is almost completely dry. Um, it's it's going to be able to survive. So Noah can kind of now kind of has an idea of how high the water levels are. It's like a divine measuring stick. But also keep in mind the dove does return to the ark. So um that does mean that the ground is not completely wet, uh dry enough for the dove to make a nest on the ground, use the twigs and stuff to be comfortable. So the dove, unlike the raven, would much rather return to the place of comfort, even if it's a little bit less free, and that is the ark. And so the dove comes back with this olive branch. Also, Noah is trying to gauge um where things are at for all of these animals and people that are on the ark. Remember, he has these plant-eating animals on the ark, lots of these things. Um, everything was plant-eating at this point. Living things were not given uh the permission to eat meat at this point. Nobody was eating meat, they were all vegetarian. Um, there's a specific verse about this that comes up after the flood where God gives them permission to start eating meat. And we'll talk about that when we get to it. But for right now, um, no one needs to make sure that these all these animals and his family are going to have food available to them in the new world. And so he's not gonna just release these wild animals who have been contained um off the ark because he knows they're not gonna come back and they could starve. And so he really wants to be aware of what kind of food availability is gonna be out there for them so that they can survive. He he he kept them for a year on the ark. Um, the Lord brought them to him, and he's been responsible for them. And so, you know, it's it's a big responsibility. He wants to make sure that they're gonna be able to repopulate the earth. So he wants to know if there's gonna be enough food for everybody that's coming off of the ark. So then, seven days later, Noah sends the dove out one last time. So this is two weeks from the first time he sent out the raven and the dove. This time, the dove does not come back. So that's the signal. The ground is dry, it's time. And so then you would think that Noah just gets off the ark. But this is where this is where it gets really good, and we can actually draw something from this. This is where I think God can speak directly to so many of us through this little moment of stillness. Okay, so verses 13 and 14 actually give us a timeline. It's been a full year, it's actually been 370 days from the day Noah boarded the ark to when he's finally ready to leave. Um, and that's over a year. So just think about the length of that. Think about the amount of time you would want to spend in your house with a bunch of stinky animals, and how long you would last with the rain going on outside, so you're not really seeing the sun, like just think about what that would do to your psychology, what that would do to your health. Like, how would that be to experience and then how antsy you would be to get off of this boat? Um, and then to know that you actually it's it's pretty safe. You could get off this boat. But if you look at verse 15, it says, Then God spoke to Noah, saying, And then, and not until then, Noah leaves. So Noah literally sits and waits. He waits for God to say, It's time to get off the boat. I mean, we we read up to the story of the flood, you know, God brings the animals, Noah builds the ark in obedience, Noah evangelizes, Noah gets onto the ark, the animals get onto the ark, and God shuts the door. And that's a very powerful story. Very powerful story. But I don't think a lot of times we think about the after effects. There was a lot of waiting that had to take place. So, so uh for like 75 to 100 years, Noah's very busy. He's very busy doing, doing, doing, doing, getting the ark ready, getting um all the stuff prepared for the animals, and and getting all of the just the preparations done, and and maybe even begging his family to turn from their wicked ways and and be saved by the ark. And um, and that's a very busy time. It's a long period of busy time. And then literally you get on the he gets on the ark and he just has to sit there. And yeah, he's spending a year taking care of the animals, making sure that they're fed and not, you know, um uh hurting each other and and all these things, but like he's just waiting. And then, you know, after a year of being on this ark, now it's time to get off the ark, and Noah knows it's time to get off the ark. He's ready, he knows that God has the next step for him, and he's a doer, he he is a doer, and he has been told to wait until God says, get off the ark. Now we don't know with that how much time has passed, we just know that there was 370 days that passed, and then God told Noah, get off the ark. So Noah was ready, but he did not move until God released him. Okay, so this we can actually glean a lot from this. Um, because I can imagine you can think about times in your life where you've had to wait, and you know what is coming, you know what what you're supposed to do, but the time has not come for that to happen yet. And so then you have to wait, and and sometimes we can get lost in the waiting um and lose the moment that we're in. So I I teach high school, I teach um APE level courses, which are advanced placements, so they're technically college-level courses. So I have a lot of seniors that are in my classes, and every single year around April, something interesting happens. You're probably familiar with this if you have been a senior in high school or if you know seniors in high school uh intimately right now. So most of my seniors, by April, have gotten their college acceptance letters, they know what school they're planning to go to, they've committed to a certain school. Um, they also know how much money it's gonna cost them. Some of them have full rides to some of these schools, and so that's very exciting. They know their scholarships, they know like the path is really being laid out for them. The the things are starting to be put in place for them to make that next step to move. Um, to be accepted into colleges, you have to have certain grades, and so uh colleges don't really look at your second semester senior grades, so they're not going to affect whether they go to that college or not. Um, however, and so their future is laid out before them, everything is exciting, it's just so amazing to see all their little faces get these big smiles, and they're thinking about their futures and all these things. Um, and then and then in classes in high school, they lose all of their motivation. They they they just have no more drive to be here anymore. Um, and we call it senioritis. You've probably heard of this before. They start skipping classes, they stop doing notes and they stop paying attention, they stop doing homework. Um, it's like it's a problem, it's a big problem. And I understand it, I really do. They're excited about the future thing that's coming in a few months. However, this also happens to be the time in the semester because we have six to eight weeks of classes left. We're not in the introductory material, we're in the application and we're covering some of the most important material. Keep in mind, especially my AP classes, this is college-level stuff. So these are classes that they could literally test out of college classes for when they take the exam. Or if they don't take the exam or they don't pass the exam, at least it's going to prepare them for that class in college. So it's not like I'm just giving them fluff. I'm giving them really good content that is going to help them be successful in college. But because it takes place in high school, they don't visualize the necessity of it being college level. And so it's a really bad, it's a really bad interweaving of like negative feedback, right? So, like, um, we've got this, this amazing, exciting time of college, which is causing them to lose their their drive and their motivation. And then we've also ramped up, and now we have some of the the heaviest, complex material to cover in the last six weeks of these classes, and they've lost their drive and motivation. This is when they should be on the highest level to finish strong. And it's just, it just is, it's kind of sad to watch. And it's because they're not they're not really good at waiting, they're not really good at sitting in the time uh uh of preparation before the next big thing. They haven't been released yet. God hasn't said to them, you're done. School has school, well, college has said you're ready for the next step. Um, but they're not taking them until like August. Uh the calendar says you still get a few months, but um, God has not released them to the future of their future yet. There's they still have to walk that stage of graduation, they still have to um do all the things, take all the exams, and get there. So there's so many areas in life that this is applicable to. Um, engagement before marriage. There's there's very specific things that are supposed to wait until after we're married. Um, but sometimes leading up to a wedding, it's a very exciting time. Everyone's emotions are really high. And and so there's things that that take place um that let's just say you're not gonna miss out on the blessings. However, you're not gonna still, you know, it's not that you're not gonna be successful in that future thing. However, you're probably going to detract from the fullest amount of of blessing that you would have in that that future thing. So in in the example of college, you know, they're they're going to struggle in some of these classes in college because they're not working as hard right now and and taking that time in a smaller setting to do the things that need to be done. And so we do, we miss out on some things. And uh so this, you know, think um you can probably think of times where you've known what the next step was. You've known what God was uh holding for you, you knew what he was preparing you for, and you get so excited about that next thing that it's kind of hard to sit in the place that you're at. So um God has to release us and we have to act in obedience. We come, we we have to, in order to get the blessing that comes from that obedience, we have to be obedient. I've heard a lot of people say, myself included, because there's there's um the opposite of this, right? Sometimes the opposite happens where God doesn't show us exactly what to do until the very moment that it's supposed to happen, right? And I've I've actually, this happens, I think, more often is we we pray and we don't know and we wonder what it is God has for us, and then all of a sudden it's like a lot clicks in place, or and all of a sudden all the tumblers uh unclick and everything just kind of works together, and it's God just saying, Okay, this is the direction I'm moving you in. But he doesn't always give it to us until right the second, like it seems like the second that it's supposed to happen, and we have to sit here and wonder, what is God gonna do? But I actually think sometimes this is better because it requires us to have a deeper faith, it requires us to rely on him more and his leading, and it also requires us to kind of focus on the area that we're in and pay attention, take stock of what we're dealing with in our in our lives at that moment and pray. So it builds our prayer life, it builds our faith, it builds our trust, um, it builds our awareness of God in our lives. And so it's probably better sometimes that we we don't know the whole picture until God is ready for that picture to take place. And he's taking away that that impatience, that waiting. Um, anyway, this is just uh I think that's just an amazing lesson to glean from this time is that even in this, Noah was obedient in just the doing nothing. Noah was obedient in the doing leading up to the flood, but he was also obedient in the waiting um after the flood. So finally, Noah leaves the ark. His family leaves, all the animals leave, and the first thing that Noah does, he builds an altar, he makes a burnt offering to God. Now, this is actually pretty significant. We're used to hearing about sacrifices and burnt offerings in the in the Bible because they happen almost all through the Old Testament. However, early in the scripture, up until this point, the only sacrifices that we see are the ones that came from uh God slaughtering animals for Adam and Eve to cover their sin. So, like this is the first time we hear we see a description of a burnt offering taking place. Um, and if you think back to when Adam and Eve sinned, they tried to cover themselves with the fig leaves. It was not good enough, and God had to make clothes for them out of animal skins, the shedding of blood. So we don't know uh up until this point what happened with those animal carcasses. They were not eaten because nobody ate animals. Um, we also don't know if they were burnt, it doesn't say that they were burnt. And so it you almost wonder how poignant it was in order for all these people, in order for them to have clothes, they just had to kill animals and make, you know, clothes out of the hides of these animals and then uh just leave the animals to die. Like, like it it's really our sin is disgusting. Um, and this is a disgusting thing, and it was a constant reminder of how disgusting our sin was that it had to be covered, that something had to die, and then there was just a waste of life. It was a waste of another's life in order for our sins to be covered, and we don't really experience that anymore. And I'm not saying that um that we should go back to that. Obviously, Jesus died so that our um our sins were covered and there would have to be no more sacrifices. He covered all of our sin through his sacrifice, but we should sit and think about how awful our sin actually is and how it actually affects those that are around us, uh, animals included, and how just disgusting and gross uh our sin actually is, that it has to be covered. In such a way that through the shedding of blood. And so there's that. But up until Noah's the reason why Noah made this um burnt offering was not to cover his sin. This was actually it it he burns the offering, and so as a result, the smoke and the scent of this goes up into the air. It's a symbol of reaching out to God, of of communicating with God, of dedication to God. It's gratitude. So burnt offerings in the Bible are represented in Leviticus as commitment or rededication. And so it's Noah saying to God, thank you. I'm committing to you, and I'm grateful for your protection and provision. So it's like it's like a new chapter of Noah's life. Um, well, it's a very new chapter, it's a new entirely new world. And he's starting it out by saying, God, this life is yours. This world is for you. Um, my life is yours. And continue, please continue to walk it with me or allow me to walk with you. Um, and he's grateful. And God is pleased. It's it's not just Noah's obedience, but his um his sacrifice to him, his gratefulness, his obedience to him. So he's so pleased that he makes a promise, not just to Noah, but to all of Noah's offspring. God promises he will never again destroy all life on earth the way he did with the flood. Here's what gets me. God, God is God. He knows what's going to happen. So God made this promise already knowing that we were gonna mess up again. He knew humanity would sin. He knew we'd need redemption, and he'd made a way, he'd made this promise anyway. So, so God made this promise knowing about World War II, knowing about the crusades, knowing about just the awful, awful things that were going to happen in the future. And yet he still made this promise that he was not going to destroy the earth the way he did with the flood again. So, this is what sets God apart from every other religion. Every other faith has a contractual element. If you do this, then I will do that, right? So, like humans have to make the first step, and then the gods are supposedly going to respond to that step of sacrifice or obedience to the God, right? It's very transactional, it's dependent on our behavior as humans. But God of the Bible, his promises don't depend on us, they depend on him. He does not rely on our behaviors or our desires or our obedience or our will or our emotions. Um he makes all of his promises rely on himself, and he makes himself the accountable one in these promises. It's called a covenant. And because God cannot lie, he actually can't go back on these promises. He he, whenever he says something, it will be. And so, um, because he cannot lie. And so he bases his promises on his own character, his own faithfulness, not on ours. And that is a huge relief because we're going to fail. Like we are going to fall. We are going to fail. We're going to mess up, but his promises are going to continue to stand. So, what was the flood really about? On the surface, it's a story of judgment and survival. Uh, but deeper down there's something supernatural happening. Genesis 6 tells us that there were beings, half humans, half angel creatures on earth, demonic beings. Uh, the flood's main purpose, if you look at the scripture, was actually to remove them from the earth, and it worked. Yes, there were um, because of the corruption that had taken place, because of this interaction with supernatural beings on earth, there was widespread wickedness, right? It says Noah was the only one that was not wicked. Now his family was able to go along with him, um, but it doesn't say that his immediate family was not um involved in some of these things either. Like we obviously, in later events, um wickedness continues to come. So God wiped the earth really to get rid of these corrupt um demonic beings that were there. Um what we're left with after the flood is this harsher world. But it's different. So the the you know, the living conditions of the world are much harsher. But it is different. God has cleansed the earth from these supernatural threats, and he's limited Satan's ability to operate with humans. It it he the the Satan and the fallen angels are actually relegated to um certain boundaries on earth as a result of the flood. So things have changed. And God makes another promise. While the earth remains, there will be seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease. So it's interesting that God repeats this as a promise that he makes to Noah. Uh and so, you know, we this is kind of the same thing that was before um the flood. And so you might be wondering, well, why does he repeat this promise again? Well, um, because God says this, it will be true. And and I'm gonna shed a little light on how this has affected me in my life, because and it might help you understand this, because uh depending on what you study or focus on in your life, you you might not think that life is very scary. Although there's definitely elements of our world that can become very scary and make you wonder, oh no, what's gonna happen. Um, when I was in college, so I took a lot of science courses because I have a marine biology degree, um, and it seemed it got to a point where like every other day I was hearing about how some catastrophic force that would that was gonna destroy the Earth or the solar system. This is not necessarily a man-driven force, like wars or things like that. Um this is we're talking about like out of our control, super, super things that that like um natural things that could happen. So for example, global warming would eliminate the winters, and essentially we'd burn up in a big ball of fire, you know. Um, the sun would actually burn out, you know, the sun is losing energy, and after so many billions of years, it's going to lose all of its energy and implode and it's gonna become um, you know, a uh an old star, uh a burnt-out star, right? So the earth would not be anymore. The ozone later would be so depleted that um we would all essentially be exposed to the UV rays and we would burn up. Uh super volcanoes would erupt and create a volcanic winter, um, which would cause a global famine, right? Like, so there's like so many of these ways that the earth was just gonna self-destruct, right? Um, and and and to an extent the solar system and part of the universe, right, would so self-destruct. And it it just was like, I don't know, it seemed like every other day a professor was telling us about what was gonna happen, and it was always like a different scenario. And guys, I was like terrified. I I I tend to think very deeply about things, and so I was scared out of my mind um thinking about all these ways that that the earth was just gonna like essentially just die. And even knowing that they weren't gonna take place, some of them for many years, the idea that the earth was just at the mercy of its own ticking clock, that self-destruction was inevitable, kept me awake at night. College really made me question everything. And I don't know if you remember from my testimony episode, the very first episode, I literally got into college and my faith was really shaken. And so I had this conversation with God. It was like, okay, I'm gonna go do a bunch of research and see if I can find truth, and then I'm gonna come back to you if you are the truth, right? So I was not um really tracking with God at this time. I I I purposely was not reading my Bible. Um, I was literally just diving into like um research. No, so not necessarily what my professors were giving me, because that definitely had a had a bias to it. Um, but like actual research, and thank goodness I found so much um that supports actually scripture. Uh, and but during this time, because I was not right walking in step with God, um, I'd kind of like said, give me six months and I'll be back. All of my peace was kind of non-existent. And so I was questioning everything, including God's existence. And if God wasn't there, if he wasn't in control, then I had every logical reason to be afraid all the time, like because of what these professors were telling me. I mean, I would literally look in my classroom and I would look around at the other students and be like, how are you not like like weeping right now? Because I don't think I had, I think there was one other person that um had some kind of a relationship with God, but everybody else was not a Christian. And and I'm like, how are you not just totally affected by this, what they're saying right now? Like beside yourself with fear. I can't imagine living like that. I can't imagine walking around every day wondering what's gonna be the first thing that just wipes us all out. But there are hundreds of people around us every single day who are living like that. They don't know the God who loves them, they don't know that he's in control. They're walking around carrying the weight of uncertainty and fear from just this knowledge of how this is not really a self-sustaining world, right? Uh, that's why it's so important for those of us who do know God personally, who know his love, his hope, his joy, to be so outspoken about it. So I'm growing I'm so grateful that my faith journey led me to an even stronger belief in the living God. A God who works through both the spirit and truth, a God whose power is overwhelming in its evidence all around us, and a God who lives, who saves, and who has complete authority over everything. And that is what changes everything. So find somebody to share your hope with today. If you are concerned about your hope, talk to God about that. Have Him give you more hope and understanding. Um, because you should not walk around terrified. You should not walk around uh in a fog. You should walk around knowing who God is and that he loves you, regardless of who you are and what you've decided to do. And um and think about also where is God asking you to wait? Where do you see the signs pointing you in a certain direction, but God hasn't released you yet? Um, trust his timing and obey, even when it's hard to, because the blessing isn't just in the destination, it's in the faithfulness you build by waiting on him. He he uses every second. And so we prepare for the next thing and use that time to see what God has for you before he releases you, because you may never get this time back again. You know, my students they rushed through high school. I can't tell you, I kind of wish sometimes I could go back to high school because it was just very four, very short four years that of youth and excitement. And um, I know high school wasn't an awesome time for everybody, and there were definitely parts of it that were not awesome for me, but like, you know, it would be really great to sometimes go back and get that back. Because as a 45-year-old person, I don't I don't get that time. Um, and I because I made this podcast, you know, for hopefully my grandchildren will will listen to it someday. Um, guys, enjoy your life where it is now and and listen to God and try to hear what He has for you right now. Because the next thing is exciting, but you also might not ever get this time back. So, as always, I'd love to hear from you guys. Uh, I do have fan mail. You can um drop a note to me in fan mail. You can also um uh yeah, if you would follow, um, that way you automatically get this um this podcast into your your podcast streaming app. Um, and that would be great so that way you don't have to um come looking for it or forget about it. But thank you for listening. I hope you guys have a wonderful um today.
