Isaiah 54:9
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
THE WATERS OF NOAH
‘The waters of Noah.’
God’s faithfulness. Faithful to His Word, of promise and of threatening. ‘The waters of Noah’ speak to us. ‘The floods have lifted up their voice.’
I. ‘The waters of Noah’ speak to us of judgment.— (1) Of judgment threatened. (a) Threatened on account of sin; (b) against light; (c) against mercy. (2) Of judgment executed. Their ‘cup of iniquity’ was full. (a) Their ruin was inevitable; (b) appalling; (c) universal.
II.—‘The waters of Noah’ speak to us of mercy.—(1) Of mercy promised; promised to Noah; a test of his faith and obedience; had nothing but God’s bare word; enough. (2) Of mercy granted; Christ our Ark; the only place of safety; room for all; still open; free.
