Genesis 8-11; John 6-7

Genesis 8 - After 150 days the ark lands, but it's 7 more months before God calls them out.  He promises not to do that again, and Noah sacrifices some of the few animals still alive.

9 - God says man can eat any animals but not the blood.  Killing a man should bring capital punishment.  The sign of this covenant is the rainbow, for us to know that God remembers us.  Noah plants a vineyard and gets drunk.  Ham mocks him, but Shem and Japheth cover and honor him.

10 - Descendants of Ham, Japheth and Shem are listed - the nations of mankind.

11 - They try to make themselves great with a tower, but God confuses their speech - the beginning of multiple languages.  Shem's descendants listed down to the 10th: Abram.


John 6 - Jesus feeds 5000, walks on water, calls all to believe on Him as the bread of life, to eat of Him or die.

7 - The Jews are divided about Jesus - even His own brothers don't believe in Him.  He teaches at the Feast of Booths, claiming to have God's authority.  They try to arrest Him but the officers are amazed at His teaching.  During the water ritual He claims to be the water everyone needs!
