Gen 8 - Thinking Pointers
1. With all these waters from the deep poured out to cover (and later abated into) the entire world, one cannot help but wonder why the earth core is today still formed with molten magma!
2. As the Lord remembereth Noah and the ark, an amazing fact reveals that the entire boat's occupants relied only on one unopened window for their air supply for over 200 days! Some sort of air vent must have been incorporated into the ark!
3. Moreover, the window of the ark must have been located beyond the physical reach of Noah without a tool. Otherwise, he would have gazed upon the condition of the flood without the need to send forth a dove
4. The worship of God signifies the utmost focus of Noah's mind/heart as he started a new life. It's the first thing he did before all else!
5. The curse on the ground is lifted - where proliferation of fruits, vegetation and trees resumed - a relief for mankind that we still enjoy today
6. God's promise not to destroy every living things on earth with a sweep of His judgement does not mean he will not judge mankind in their sins specifically
7. "while the earth remaineth" denotes a limited span of time whereby the earth will ultimately be gone
