Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; Notice that the Lord did not say to Noah, “Go into the ark,” but “Come,” plainly implying that God was himself in the ark, waiting to receive Noah and his family into the big ship that was to be their place of refuge while all the other people on the face of the earth were...

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. Of the clean creatures which might be offered in sacrifice to God you see that there was a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. Here was positive proof of his righteousness, in that he was obedient to the word of the Lord.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. He was nearly five hundred years old when he began to preach about the flood, — a good old age to take up such a subject. For a hundred and twenty years he pursued his theme, — three times as long as most men are ever able to preach, and now at last God’s time of...

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

Perhaps the world was in its prime, when the trees were in...

And the rain was upon the earth forty day and forty nights. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; These eight persons are very carefully mentioned. “The Lord knoweth them that are his,” “and they shall be mine, saith the Lord of...

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. “Every bird of every sort,” that is, every kind of bird; they are all mentioned over again.

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. Now the jewels are all in, and therefore the casket is closed.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; Just as it had been foretold, for God’s providence always tallies with his promises or with his threats. “Hath he said, and shall he not do it?” Gen_7:17.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living...

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; God works upwards, and stops the windows of heaven.
