The theme of Genesis 7 & 8 is “The Greatest Tsunami Ever.” These
chapters describe God’s judgment on a wicked world through
the great flood and his mercy in saving Noah, his family, and the
animals aboard the ark. Water from both the heavens and the deep
covered the earth, wiping out all life except those preserved in the
ark. God’s faithfulness is shown as he remembers Noah, causes
the waters to subside, and establishes a fresh start for humanity.
The ark and its door symbolize salvation, and Noah’s faith in God’s
word saved him.
