9. The Faith That Takes Us into Salvation (Genesis 7:1-13)

In Noah’s time, God judged the world once with the floodwater. Today’s Scripture passage describes this event to us. From investigating earth strata formed in the ancient times, geologists have concluded that there once was a great flood.
It’s written in the Bible that prior to Noah’s flood, people generally lived for over 900 years. At that time, someone who died at the age of 600 was considered to have lived a short life. However, after the flood, mankind’s life span dropped to around 120 years. The reason for this is because of radical changes in natural environment owing to the great flood. The Bible writes that the earth was judged by water at the time of Noah’s flood. It didn’t just rain, but the Bible writes, “All the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened” (Genesis 7:11). Like this, God covered the first world with water. At that time, as all the water in the firmament was poured on the earth, every living creature was exposed to harmful rays from the outer space. That is why mankind’s life span was reduced like this.
