Genesis chapter 7 really has two great themes or morals:


Primarily judgement of God on the total wickedness of the earth at that time. The state of the earth is described sparingly in the previous chapter in verse 5 "....the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." Verse 11 records that the earth was "corrupt" and "filled with violence."


Secondly, the mercy and preservation by God of the righteous remnant, together with every kind of creature, to repopulate the earth (note that a biblical kind is not the same as todays species) after the flood.

New Testament reference to genesis?

Genesis has 50 chapters. The first 11 are considered foundational. There are at least 68 references to the first 11 chapters alone, and many more references to the content of the other chapters. Every New testament writer makes reference to the contents of the first 11 chapters, and Jesus Himself makes reference to every one the first 7 chapters. Each reference treats the content of Genesis as historical fact and reliable revelation of God's word and dealings with man. The following link gives N.T. chapter, verse and the Genesis Chapter, verse to which it refers. The information regarding these first chapters seems easier to find because they deal with Creation, a hot topic for many.http:/website.sound-doctrine.net/FAQ-NTSuportGenesis.html


How long was the ark afloat?

It is said that the ark floated for 40 days and 40 nights.** ** Previous Answer WRONG!-Genesis Chapter 8. Try reading it. In chapter 7, it is mentioned that the rain lasted for 40 days and 40 nights. In Genesis 8:3, it is mentioned that, "at the end of the one hundred and fifty days the water decreased." Depending on your reckoning of this time frame, the ark was afloat somewhere between 150 and 190 days. This is from the New King James Version of the Bible, which among Christian readers is known to be somewhat unreliable. A Hebrew telling of this account might be more accurate. Regardless of other potential inaccuracies, the correct answer is either 150 or 190 days.
