The Great Flood (Part One)
Prelude To DelugeAs much as the flood was a natural occurrence, it was also a supernatural occurrence, in which a loving God brought a hopelessly wicked world to an end.
The Great Flood (Part Two)
God Commissions NoahGod commissioned Noah to witness to the debased population before He eradicated it. The stark parallels to today's world should be given attention.
The Great Flood (Part Three)
Beauty and Noah's Floating ZooGenesis 6:1-4 summarize what led to God's rejection of the pre-flood civilization: men chose wives solely on the basis of sex appeal and external beauty.
The Great Flood (Part Four)
DelugeGenesis 6 reflects a distortion of marriage. One improbable explanation of the "sons of God" is that angelic beings cohabited with human beings.
The Great Flood (Part Five)

The Great Flood (Part Seven)

The Great Flood (Part Eight)
The Rainbow and the CurseGod literally called Noah, offering him deliverance from the world catastrophe, and offering him a job of being a physical savior for all of creation.
