Father in heaven, thank you for gathering us here this evening.

Thank you for seeing us safely throughout this past week.

Thank you Lord for your watch care over us and as we're now coming to study together, we ask for your blessing, we ask for your leading, we ask for your guidance And especially as we study about this character Noah that probably to all of us is so familiar.

Help us Lord to again see fresh truth and its application to us this evening.

Please, guide us with your Spirit as our earnest plea and prayer, for we pray in Jesus' name.

So, tell me when your Bible is to Hebrews chapter 11.

Let's go to Hebrews chapter 11 and We're going to be reading verse 7 about Noah.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." Look, the Bible says here that Noah, he was warned of God of things not seen as yet.

You see, there were 2 things in fact and maybe even 3 but there were there were some things were leading up to the flood there were some things that he had never seen.

First, let's go in our Bibles to Genesis chapter 2, okay?

Genesis chapter 2, what had Noah never seen before?

So the world has never been flooded before and it had never rained.

God caused mist to come up from the ground.

So, when God came to Noah and said, look, I'm going to make it rain upon the earth, He had never seen rain before.

Let's go in our Bible to Genesis chapter 9.

This is when Noah comes out of the boat after the flood, okay?

And God said, this is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations.

I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth and it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth and the bow shall be seen in the cloud and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh and the water shall no more become a flood to destroy all the flesh.

You see, when Noah came out God says I'm gonna make you a promise Noah.

Every time you see a rainbow, just remember, I'm not gonna destroy the world anymore by a flood.

You see, the last time Noah saw it, the flood came.

And so, if he had seen a rainbow before, which is a mixture of what?

If he had seen it before, the flood came, God could not use that as a token, as a promise, because God, the last time I saw a rainbow, the flood came, you see?

So God, He came up with something quote-unquote new and the rainbow was new because the the what?

So, it was very clear that when God comes to Noah at the very beginning and warns him of things not seen as yet, the very first thing that God warns him is rain.

He had never seen rain before And neither had he seen a flood as well, which was caused by the rain.

But look, what was it that moved Noah to go and build the ark?

He wasn't afraid in a sense, but look, the ark at that time was probably the biggest thing that he'd ever built.

He never had to build anything of such size before.

But in Hebrews 11 verse 7, when you go back to our original text, it says here that it was faith that moved him.

This is the very thing that pushed him and drove him to go and build this boat of immense proportions that was probably a blueprint given directly from God.

And of course, the choice of materials to use as well.

God comes and says, Noah, I'm going to destroy the world by a flood.

And remember, faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God.

You got to remember this verse throughout this whole faith study because really this is the foundation of everything that we'll be looking at, especially when it comes to faith because this is all about faith.

So, God comes to Noah and speaks to him His Word.

Faith comes by hearing, hearing by God's Word.

In this case, it is directly from God's mouth.

Now, maybe that was not the first thing he says.

Maybe he comes to Noah and God says, Noah, look, this world has gotten really wicked.

My spirit will not always strive with man.

And God continues and says, Noah, I'm going to send a flood to destroy the world.

Well, what do you think Noah's response would be?

Well, you see, I'm going to get the water and it's going to cover a whole earth.

And only those that as I give the instruction and listen to you, they're gonna be saved.

Well God, how are you gonna get water to cover the whole earth?

Because Noah had never seen rain before, right?

Well, you see, Noah, I'm going to send water from above and it's going to come down and it's going to flood the whole earth.

And of course, he's probably going to send jets of water from beneath and pushing up and from above and below and it's going to cover the whole earth again.

It's going to send it back to its original form like before I created anything.

And then God says, Noah, as a result, I want you to build a boat.

If he said, God, I don't know what rain is, I don't know how you're going to do it, no way, you got to prove it to me first before I do it.

If he never believed God about what rain was, because you see, In the Bible, it never says, Noah stand aside, let me show you what rain is about, okay?

And he sends water coming, gushing down off in the distance.

He never proved in a sense to Noah what a flood was, what was rain or water gushing out from the beneath as well.
