Seven of a kind?

First of all I would like to point out that not all animals were to get on the ark two of a kind. It was actually only the "unclean animals" that were taken two of a kind. The clean animals and all the birds were taken seven of a kind. (each paired male and female) I guess this is because later in the chapter i read that after the flood Noah made a burnt offering for the Lord with some of his clean animals and clean birds.... So It was necessary to have had seven of a kind of these so that there could still be a pair left over to multiply after the burnt offering.
Weird... I did not know that.
Fun fact I guess!

The thing I liked best in Chapter 8 was this:
The Lord said in his heart "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood.
This is GRACE.
God is GRACE.


So
thats me; fleshly from birth. With my very heart evil from Childhood. (Thats a harsh way to put it, but the Lord said it so its truth) Yet God still made the decision to love us, man who has an evil heart from childhood. God is love. A far greater kind of love than I can even understand.

so God made his promise:
"And never again will I
destroy all living creatures, as I have done."
Yea, instead he sent Jesus to save us.

Its
November 5 and Where did all the Dino's go?
