Genesis 7:5-24
5 So Noah did everything as the LORD commanded him.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth. 7 He went on board the boat to escape the flood—he and his wife and his sons and their wives. 8 With them were all the various kinds of animals—those approved for eating and for sacrifice and those that were not—along with all the birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground. 9 They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah. 10 After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.
11 When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky. 12 The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.
13 That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives. 14 With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of every kind. 15 Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes. 16 A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them.
17 For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth. 18 As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface. 19 Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth, 20 rising more than twenty-two feet above the highest peaks. 21 All the living things on earth died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people. 22 Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died. 23 God wiped out every living thing on the earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat. 24 And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.
If time allows, read this again in the ESV translation: Genesis 7:5-24

Help me Lord to have the same spirit and walk that Noah had.

Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died - except for those in the ark. God is total in his destruction even though He created us. I have to fear His wrath.
The Creator did exactly as one does when one has a bug in the work routine of a pc; reset and format the computer. Everything that was not stored in a safe place is lost. It shows that human nature is incapable of perfecting itself on its own and always needs the constant, protective presence translated into divine graces. It shows clearly the dark days in which we are living with expansions of ideas without the tiniest support in the covenant promised by the Lord God the Father.
God blesses male and female, there is a role and purpose for both sexes.
God caused the animals and creatures to go to the ark, showing his divine power.
The water volume was amazing, an abundant supply for a spec; purpose.....whats the largest mountain height in the world ????
Then add 22 feet.

The story about the flood. God had Noah to build the arc
