1 Noah & the Flood The Story of De-Creation & the Hope of a New Creation Genesis 6-9

2 How Does the World End? Why are we so Fascinated by its Ending?

3 Noah s Flood & Ancient Near Eastern Flood Stories

4 The Gilgamesh Epic An ancient flood story whose hero is named Utnapishtim. The story predates Genesis by 1500 years (Other ancient flood stories: Akkadian account of atrahasis; Sumerian account of Ziusdra)

5 Genesis s Flood Parallels with the Gilgamesh Epic The gods or God use the flood as a means of judgement. There is a hero in each story. An ark is constructed to save life. Particular dimensions are given for the arks construction. All living beings are gathered together and brought onto the ark. A dove and raven are sent out to determine if the flood has receded.

6 Differences among the parallels between Genesis & the Gilgamesh Epic Different canonical context between the stories. Different reasons behind the judgment. Different reasons behind the choice of the hero. Different reasons behind the design of the ark. Different reasons for sacrifices before traveling in the ark. Order of birds is different.

7 It is safe to conclude that the parallels between the biblical account of the flood and the Mesopotamian stories, being so numerous and detailed, are much more than the result of mere coincidence...whatever be its literary history, the Flood story of the torah [of Genesis] stands out as an authentic, original expression of the religious genius of Israel. Conceptually, spiritually, and morally, it stands in striking contrast to all other versions. - Nahum Sarna, JPS Commentary on Genesis One of world s leading authorities on ANE Flood Stories - Nahum Sarna

8 What can we learn from the Ancient Near Eastern Parallels to Genesis s flood story? The flood story must be understood in light of the wider story it fits into. The flood story was global news. History and Literature were close together in the ANE.

9 Why Did The World End Through a Flood?

10 Noah s Flood From Creation to De-Creation

11 Genesis 1-3 as Creation Genesis 6-9 as De-Creation God created out of the deep waters (Genesis 1.1, 6-7). God saw all he created and said that all was good (1.31). God s word proceeds creation (1.3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26). God de-created all life through water (Genesis 7.11) God saw all that he created and said it was evil (6.5, 12). God s word proceeds de-creation (6.7, 13).

12 The flood, in essence, represents an undoing of creation. Back in Genesis 1, the creation was narrated as God s shaping the formless mass (tohu vabohu) by moving back the waters that completely surrounded the world. The flood is thus a reversal of creation. - Tremper Longman III, How to Read Genesis The Flood as a Reversal of Creation

13 Noah s Flood From De-Creation to a Hope of a New Creation

14 Noah s Flood is a central hinge upon which the Biblical Story turns. Creation - De-Creation - New Creation Adam - Noah - Abraham - Moses - David - Christ

15 The Flood as the hope of new creation Noah as the 2nd Adam Genesis 1-2 Literary Repetitions Genesis 9:1-17 Wind Bringing New Life 1.2 vs 8.1 Rhythm of Nature Established 1.14 vs 8.22 Divine Blessing 1.28 vs 9.7 The Image of God Affirmed 1.26 vs 9.6

16 How does Noah s flood offer us hope for a new creation? A New Covenant A New Community A New Adam To Hope For

17 The first end of the world = Water The final end of the world = Fire 2 Peter They will say, Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation. 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
