Genesis 7:17 And the flood was forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. I. JUDGMENT THREATENED. II. JUDGMENT DELAYED. God's forbearance and long suffering. Every day brings judgment nearer. III. JUDGMENT EXECUTED. God did as He said. This judgment was — 1. Terrible. 2. Unavoidable. 3. Universal. LESSONS: — 1. Listen to God's warnings. 2. Abuse not God's long suffering. 3. Flee from the wrath to come. (W. S. Smith, B. D.)
