Things in the Bible not really in the Bible …and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

It was no big deal about rain when Noah began to build his ark!

Genesis 1:5-6 – Genesis 6:17 – Genesis 7:11 & 24 – Genesis 8:2 – Genesis 9:13

Fact of the Day 

No!  It had never rained before.  The ground sent up a mist to water the plants.  In fact, God did not tell Noah about rain until it was about to rain!  All he told Noah to get him to start building the ark was that there was going to be a big flood. 

Finally, when the flood began…

• All the springs of the great deep were OPENED and burst forth
•  the floodgates of the heavens were OPENED. 
• And RAIN FELL on the earth forty days and forty nights

Then, when the earth was flooded enough…

• The springs of the deep  were CLOSED
• and the floodgates of the heavens were CLOSED
• BUT the rain STOPPED falling from the sky.

Yes, everything was closed except rain.  God made it stop, but he did not close up the possibility of future rains.

According to Genesis, earth must have had a constant cloud covering that made possible a mist to come up and water the ground. But somehow, God opened up those clouds during Noah’s flood and made rain possible.  And, for the first time, man could look up into the sky and see a RAINBOW.
