THE GREAT DEEP BURST FORTH / GENESIS 7:11-12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 7:11-12  

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

THE GREAT DEEP BURST FORTH / GENESIS 7:11-12

Two earth-shattering events caused the flood. The first was the eruption of huge underground reservoirs, or pockets, of water, perhaps caused by earthquakes and tidal waves. The second was the forty days of torrential, or violent downpour of, rain (Genesis 7:12).

  1. As a result, all living creatures outside the ark that normally lived on land dies, both humans and animals (Genesis 7:21-22; Matthew 24:37-39; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5).
  2. Water rose so high that it covered “all the high mountains under the entire heavens” (Genesis 7:19-20). This means that the entire earth, not just part of it, was covered with water (2 Peter 3:6). The amount of water did not even begin to decrease until after 150 days (Genesis 7:24). Noah’s ark finally came to rest on one of the mountains of Ararat (Armenia), which was 500 miles from where it started (Genesis 8:4).
  3. The earth dried up, and Noah left the ark 377 days after the flood began (Genesis 8:13-14).
  4. The apostle Peter states that the world that existed before the flood was “destroyed” (2 Peter 3:6). This suggests that the earth and its surface underwent a total change, both physically and geologically, and it became the earth that now exists.
