Noah’s ark

1)          It was not a mere vessel to sail them from sinners’ world to a new abode of righteousness that Noah was commissioned to build, it was a treasure chest of God’s love. There were two distinct antediluvians in the days of Noah. Those from Adam, through the lineage of Seth, were the ones I call the antediluvian saints. Enos, the son of Seth, grew up during the global, spiritual revival that prompted imbibitional culture of “then began men to call upon the name of the LORD” (Genesis 4:26). True public worship in praises, hymns, prayers and sacrificial functionalities were done in the covenantal name of Jehovah. This reality was probably sneered at by the antediluvian miscreants led by their progenitor and priest, Cain, the first promoter of Satanism. Two sons of Adam brought forth a dichotomous spirituality on the globe.

The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair

                The terribleness of Adamic wickedness got heightened in Genesis 6:1-7 1“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”

                The resultant birth of those ones who emerged from parturient involvement of the daughters of Adamic nature and angels did not only give their offspring strides of acts of giantism, their existence was the freakishness of fiendishness. Angelic marriage to Adamic offspring can only produce freaks of half men half angels. The said sons of God cannot be the children of Seth, because his existence was not a direct creation from God, like his father, Adam. Seth came through the sexual efforts of Adamic progeny. The Eternality of Jehovah must create intelligent beings who will live forever. The marked evil and good dichotomy of Adam’s children made God to decide to save the antediluvian saints and annihilate the Noachian miscreants.

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD” (Genesis 6:8).

                The Bible says, “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD” (Genesis 6:8). To find grace in God’s eyes comes with a responsibility. The responsibility of a born again Christian is to love the LORD his God with all his heart, mind, strength and thought. He must, as a necessity, shine the light of Jesus for all to behold. Noah’s responsibility was to lead the righteous antediluvians away from God’s righteous indignation. Genesis 6:13-14 13) “And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14) Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.” The word ‘ark’ is têbâh (tay-baw’) meaning: ‘coffer, box and chest.’

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
