Jesus Christ from both Jew and Gentile, that He has not forgotten them. Is not the following example for us today, and a link to this verse of Gen.8:1, but in the spiritual sense?

Rev 12:16   And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

     This 'woman' is a symbol for the family of Christ during the great tribulation. Today, that family is of both Jew and Gentile believers on Christ Jesus as Saviour. Many Christians of today are being deceived by false prophecy of earthly destruction, which in reality, is one of spiritual deception. Doesn't believing lies of a nuclear holocaust and destruction by meteorites over the whole earth make one want to be 'raptured' out? (The rapture is another of Satan’s lies.)  Sure it would.

If you've understood God's Message here about Noah's flood, as compared to Satan's flood, does our Father say He is going to allow this earth to be destroyed? Be thinking on it; we'll confirm from The Word that it will not be, by the end of this Chapter.
     It may sound like I overstressed this first verse of Gen.8:1, but I don't think so. I feel that our Father wants us to remember, how He has remembered our sufferings and trials in the past, down through the ages, and will yet again as we stay in Him.

Gen 8:2   The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

    Let us go back to Noah's time. All those not aboard the Ark, were gone, destroyed, literally, during the time of Noah. This included those hybrids of the fallen angels of Gen.6, and all who had mixed with them.

Gen 8:3   And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
8:4   And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

     We should note that the Ark was upon the waters of the flood for five months, or one hundred and fifty days. Linking to Satan's flood of lies for the end time as 'waters', the end of this 'five months', or 'an hundred and fifty days', would signal the great tribulation completion and end.

 

Matt.24:22:And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

 

Rev.9: And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months...

     The evil was destroyed off the face of the earth (giants and mixing), and only Noah and those with him in the Ark had protection, but had not freedom to stroll from the Ark just yet.
     This 'seventh month' in the Jewish Sacred Calendar is Tisri, or Ethanim, which is our October. And that must be reckoned according to God's Calendar, which is a solar Calendar, not the lunar one we use.

Gen 8:5   And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

     This 'tenth month' is Tebeth in the Hebrew Sacred Calendar, or our January. Notice that the 'waters' continued to decrease, and finally at the tenth month, the tops of mountains could be seen.

Gen 8:6   And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7    And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
