This is out of the blue letter Bible which give you a new paragraph in Genesis 13. The statement in Genesis 12 is the conclusion of the previous verses. The conclusion is that there is rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights.Noah began the entering in and had 7 days to finish it per God's command to get all in the ark. At the end of 7 days, it was finished and the selfsame day it rained, Noah entered and was shut in. He was not shut in 7 days prior. He was able to freely go in and out as he had 7 days before the wrath came to get all inside.
This is why I wrote my thoughts on it and I showed you multiple other sources on as well. They all confirm he entered on the same day it rained and the flood came.
Genesis 7
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

¶
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
So you are taking a verse that is a new paragraph and using it in the previous paragraph as the conclusion, which is incorrect.
Secondly, verse 13 and 14 is telling you that Noah, his family, and ALL OF THE ANIMALS entered the ark in the selfsame day. That day is the day that they were instructed to enter the ark, not the day of the flood.
Here we can clearly see that Noah and the animals entered the ark and 7 days later the flood was upon the earth.
Genesis 7
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
The Word says that they did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,This is also proven by Christ own words. In Luke 17, Christ says,
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
The Word says absolutely nothing whatsoever about the flood coming the day Noah entered the ark. All the Word says is that the flood came, which it did.
However, by reading Genesis 7 we can see that Noah entered the ark 7 days before the flood.
Years ago, I would have agreed with you. I would have read the Word the same way. But when we look deeper we can see what is really being said.Christ demonstrates that up to the day Noah entered and the flood came and he links it to Lot.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Why would Christ link them if they were different? The point is, he tells us the same day Lot went out, it rained destruction and it will be that same thing in the day the son of man is revealed. But you say no, its 7 days before. Christ says it's just like Lot, its the same day. And he linked it to Noah.
The Lord says when He comes it will be like the days of Noah. We know from reading Genesis 7 that Noah is in the ark 7 days before the flood. So the Lord comes 7 days before destruction for the Church, days being years.
Then the Word says, LIKEWISE ALSO.
He also comes the very day He is revealed.................. But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
He is coming again at the 6th seal, the day He is revealed. He comes for the second harvest, the fruit harvest. He remains in the clouds and sends His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. Then the wrath of God begins. Jesus does not return to the earth until the end of wrath when He comes with the armies of Heaven to Armageddon, which happens before the 7th trumpet.
It does not matter who or how many I am disagreeing with. It only matters who is correct. I think I explained above why Jesus gave the examples of Noah and Lot. He gave them because the fig tree has two harvests. One harvest it will be like the days of Noah where Noah is in the ark 7 days before the flood and one harvest it will be like the days of Lot where the very day Lot left Sodom destruction came. There is a reason there is a grain and a fruit harvest. There is a reason Jacob had two brides.Now you can disagree with me, but you are also disagreeing with multiple other sources and have to explain why Christ said it was the same day as Lot and you confess it's not the same day but 7 days before for Lot and Noah's account of how destruction happens identically in both analogies.
Looking through all the different topics of this board, pages and pages who do you think is called follower of Satan, those that believe in a pretrib rapture or those that don't believe in a pre trib rapture? Which group is called LIARS the majority of the time. If you have an issue with me saying you should study more, you would not do well as a pretribber. I have enjoyed discussing these things with you, I do apologize if you took offense to my comment brother.This kind of comment causes division. There is no point for it but to stir up others to anger as an insult and is arrogant. No point for it in Christian circles.
