You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.” A DIVINE INVITATION: ENTER THE ARK! Jack Arnold introduces the description of the flood with these remarks - In the modern age of science and skepticism the truth of the Flood has been all but forgotten. Somehow it's testimony to the awfulness of sin and the reality of divine retribution is so disturbingly unwelcome that men have sought at all costs to ex­plain it away. In most unbelieving circles the Flood is referred to as legend or myth (ED: cf Peter's similar words "it escapes their notice" - see discussion of 2Pe 3:5); that is, they are only stories thought up in the imagination of primitive, religious men. NOTE. True Christians, who believe in the inspiration and infallibility of Scripture, should never refer to the Flood as a Bible story. It is not a story. (ED: A story is defined as an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. See Wikipedia note) It is his­torical fact that God has recorded in the Bible for men. It actually happened and is not legend or myth. Then - An important time phrase (occurs over 3600x in Bible) that should not be glossed over. Here it marks progression in the narrative. The LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark (tebah; Lxx = kibotos), you and all (kol - whole) your household - Jehovah gives Noah a command to enter. Just imagine if Noah had not obeyed! Note that Jehovah is in control of the timing as to when Noah, et al, were to enter the Ark. THOUGHT - This is a good reminder that when we are considering "when" to do something, we might do well to entreat the LORD if the timing is right. Just a thought to consider. Obviously this could be carried to the extreme, like "When do I eat dinner tonight?" I am referring more to major decisions in our life, like should I go to the mission field or should I apply to a seminary, etc. It's just a good idea for us to consult with our omniscient Father. As Jesus said "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Mt 6:33+) Or in the great prayer Jesus taught "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Mt 6:10+) Noah was the leader and had to guide his family. Men, fathers, husbands, you are the leader of your family and you need to hear from the LORD and guide your family. This passage reminds me of Paul's words to the Philippian jailer in Acts 16:31+ charging him to "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Of course, while the text says nothing of the faith of the other 7, it is clear that each of the other 7 individuals had to exercise personal faith.
