AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:20 who once were disobedient, when the great patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons [Noah's family], were brought safely through the water. [Gen 6-8] |
Bible Question: was noah and his family the only ones saved? if so is this a type of spirtual saved? |
Bible Answer: Genesis 6:13 says that God was determined to make an end to ALL flesh, however, Noah had found favor with the Lord (Gen 6:8). God instructed Noah to take his household, Noah, his wife, their 3 sons and the sons wives, into the ark, for Noah alone was righteous before God (Gen 7:1). Genesis 7:23 tells us that the God blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, human beings and animals...only Noah was left and those in the ark. It was a physical salvation. We now know that this did truly take place in the physical because God has allowed the ark to be found on the top of Mt Arafat. prayon |
