Genesis 6:9–11:32: Our salvation floats on a real Flood

A Full scale model of Noah's Ark in Dordrecht, Netherlands. According to wikipedia, "It is 137 meters (450 ft) long and carried on a platform made up of 25 LASH barges, this is the only full-scale Ark interpretation that is actually floating and mobile." Photo by Ceinturion from wikipedia commons.

The Flood recorded in the book of Genesis is one of the most pivotal events in the Bible. But did it happen, or is it just an allegory to teach a spiritual truth? This discussion of the Torah reading נֹחַ Noach/Noakh (“Noah,” Genesis 6:9-11:32), illustrates how the account is real history as well as real revelation of spiritual truth. 

Modern DNA studies supports the Bible’s record of a literal Noakh, his literal sons and daughters-in-law and a literal worldwide Flood. Even though Noach was “righteous in his generation,” he was not perfect. He wasn’t saved because he was perfect. He was saved because he had faith in God — faith put into action.

Noakh’s clinged to God’s words, but his generation refused to follow him into the Ark and to receive salvation. That’s why Yeshua talked about the “days of Noah” being just like His second coming (Luke 17:25–27; Matthew 24:37–38; Isaiah 54:8–10).

Genesis 6:9-11:32: Remembering God’s judgment and mercy in the Flood

The image features a stylized watercolor depiction of a powerful ocean wave in shades of blue and white, symbolizing the biblical flood. Overlaid on the image is the text: **"Remembering God's judgment and mercy in the Flood. Genesis 6:9–11:32"**, written in bold, flowing script. In the bottom-right corner is the logo **"hallel.info"**, subtly placed in a matching blue tone. The overall design evokes a sense of divine power and grace intertwined.

Though his generation had forgotten, Noach (Noah) remembered the Creator was in charge, followed His instructions and didn’t have the malice of the world around him. In the Torah section Noach (Genesis 6-11), we learn that the relationship between God and Noach was a two-way street, and it is because of this one man’s trust in God that all of creation was saved.

Genesis 1:1–6:8: God commanded, but why should I listen?

If you were to chop off Genesis 1–5, you would not be able to competently answer this about the instructions and teachings of the Father and Messiah: “Why should I do that?” Two-thirds of children from Christian homes will walk away from their faith to varying degrees, and one of the main reasons for that fall off is they are not given honest answers about the authority of the Scriptures.

Genesis 6: Evil multiplies on Earth as ‘sons of God’ marry ‘daughters of men’

A bride and groom walk hand in hand through the forest, their backs to the viewer, walking on rose petals and surrounded by glowing fireflies and hanging Turkish lamps.

Some may have no idea what this chapter is about, with “sons of God” marrying “daughters of men” and the “Nephilim.” Some may also have some profound, over-the-top notions about the meaning of this chapter, but if you read this chapter in the context of the previous chapters, the fanciful and salacious interpretations fall by the wayside.

The First 10 Chapters of Genesis: A Blueprint for God’s Appointed Times

This graphic features a stylized, painterly scene inspired by Genesis, with lush greenery on either side of a river and a large, wooden ship on the right, suggesting Noah’s Ark. The sky has swirling, golden and blue colors that resemble a dramatic sunrise or sunset, casting warm light across the landscape. The title text reads, “Genesis 1-10: A Blueprint for God’s Appointed Times?” In the bottom left corner is a small logo for “hallel.info.”

Daniel explores foreshadowing of all seven ‘feasts to the LORD’ in Genesis 2–5. For example, hints of Passover are seen in Adam and Eve’s hiding from God in the garden; Firstfruits, in Eve’s dedicating her firstborn; Atonement, in God’s marking Cain to wander with vengeance taken against him.

Genesis 6: ‘Days of Noah’ foreshadow the last days

A graphic with a green background featuring a man in a thoughtful pose, wearing a straw hat and a green button-up shirt. The text on the graphic reads: "Food for Thought: ‘Days of Noah’ foreshadow the last days" in yellow and white cursive font, with "Genesis 6" highlighted in yellow. A subtle watermark at the bottom right corner reads "hallel.info."

Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) said that the days of Noakh (Noah) would be like the last days before Yeshua’s return. What was Noakh’s generation like, and what can we learn from his righteousness in that time?
