"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."
Would God in his wisdom and power having created the worlds by his word forget? The word never stops since it is the living world and in fulness of time shall become the Word become flesh, qhile the Word was with God ensures the Law of the Spirit hold Covenant inviolate. Oh no, literalism of carnal mind as false teachers muddied the water of the pure river of life has caused a controversy, that is all.
The Spirit now continues with the narrative by which we look at the Covenant which is everlasting. So in the many sevens we come across here we are to see their place is that of markers.
In 8.5 we read the tops of the mountains were seen. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Jesus Christ the fulfilling part of the unseen world consequently begins with them, "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." First day, here regard well, the same first day mentioned in Gen 1.5. Only we are looking at the everlasting Covenant from the POV of man created 'after our image and after our likeness. Noah's point of view is the view of the creature. Male and female he created them. House of Noah consisted of eight souls.
8.5-6 "And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, ..."
What is the significance of the number 10? It is the number of condemnation placed by the Spirit. It refers the law of sin and death. "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."(Heb.11.7)
The word is tagged by Command number Four so 4x10 as mentioned in v.6 "And it came to pass at the end of forty days, ..."
