The Genesis Record Chapter 7 & 8 "The Great Flood" (Commentary)

It's assumed Noah was financially wealthy due to his abilities of constructing the arc. The more interesting and profound fact is he would be willing to throw it all away, in faith, and trusting God would provide during harsh times.

God issued an actual new world order, through Noah and his family tree. As we talked about previously, he baptized the entire world and destroyed everything, offering deliverance.
