Genesis 7:24 –
And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.
Everyone knows it rained 40 days and 40 nights … but little is talked about how long they were on the boat. Was it 190 days or shorter?? Either way it’s a long time to float knowing everything you knew is gone. They needed supplies and provisions for a long time … God had them load up on animals for food and animals for sacrifices.
Which makes me wonder … how did they do sacrifices on the boat?? How did they cook?? is 150 days long enough for the 7 pairs of feed animals to make more so they don’t starve??
Boy I seem to be asking more questions in Genesis than making “thoughts”!!
Many have suggested that the “flood” was localized, since the people were. But it does not say that … also, in that region it would take a global flood to cover the mountaintops. Also, there has been suggested that the boat landed on a mountain top in Turkey and can be seen today.
This is the first extermination of the world, by flood. The second will be by fire … and it has yet to come!! Pay attention to the bible … and it’s warnings.
Proverbs 20:10 –
“False weights and unequal measures—the Lord detests double standards of every kind.”
