Subject: The Flood Chronology |
Bible Note: The Flood Chronology ************************************************** 1. In the 600th year of Noah (second month, tenth day), Noah entered the ark (Gen. 7:4,10,11). 2. In the 600th year of Noah (second month, seventeenth day), the flood began (Gen. 7:11). 3. The waters flooded the earth for 150 days (5 months of 30 days each), including the 40 days and 40 nights of rain (Gen. 7:12,17,24; 8:1). 4. In the 600th year of Noah (seventh month, seventh day), the waters began to recede (7:24; 8:1). 5. The waters later receded to the point that (600th year, seventh month, seventeenth day) the ark rested on Ararat (Gen. 8:3,4). 6. The waters continued to abate so that (600th year, tenth month, first day) the tops of the mountains were visible (Gen. 8:5). 7. Forty days later (600th year, eleventh month, tenth day) Noah sent out a raven and a dove (Gen. 8:6). Over the next 14 days, Noah sent out two more doves (Gen. 8:10,12). In all, this took 61 days or two months and one day. 8. By Noah's 601st year on the first month, the first day, the water had dried up (Gen. 8:12,13). 9. Noah waited one month and twenty-six days before he disembarked in the second month, the 27th day of his 601st year. From beginning to end, the Flood lasted one year and ten days from Gen. 7:11 to Gen. 8:14. [Taken from The MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing, John MacArthur, pg. 26] |
