In these passages is the account of the Ark coming to rest on Mount
Ararat, which is in present day Turkey. Noah and his family were in the
Ark for about a year before the water receded so that they could leave
the Ark. After the year on the Ark, Noah and his family and all of the
animals left the ark. God commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, and
refill the Earth. God made a covenant with Noah that God would never
again cause such a flood to destroy all living things. God promised that
He would never again destroy all life on the Earth. However, God will
one day destroy most of life on the earth to once again purge the Earth
of sin.
When God destroyed all life on the earth with the flood, only one man
was deemed righteous in God’s eyes: Noah. Now there are more
people that God deems to be righteous. These are those who believe in
Jesus Christ. The Bible says that when Jesus gave his life on the Roman
cross, His shed blood atoned for the sins of those who would believe in
Him. God forgives the sins of those who believe in Jesus. God sees them
as righteous. Those who believe in Jesus will be allowed to be with
Jesus in his millennial kingdom. Jesus’ kingdom will be established on
the Earth after God removes those who do not believe in Jesus. Sinful
people will be removed. The earth will once again be purged of sin.
