One thing is for sure, all the races, including the sons of Cain (kenites) survived the Flood of Noah, whether they were aboard the ark or in other countries unaffected by the deluge.
Let's pause for a moment of reflection and try to imagine
what it was like for Noah,
whose name means "rest".
Our Father has given him the plans and told him to go
out and build this humongous boat in the backyard,
which is not exactly a weekend project, so there won't
be any "rest" for awhile, anyway.
Now we know from 2 Peter 2:5 that Noah was a preacher
of righteousness,
and by putting two and two together
(that's a figure of speech and has nothing to do with
how the animals were assembled for the ark)
we know what he was preaching and warning about.
Noah was preaching against getting involved with the sons of God, the fallen angels!
Keep away from them!
Keep away from Satan and his own!
But ultimately only he and his family would remain pure and uncorrupted by these supernatural charmers.
So not only wasn't anyone heeding Noah's warnings,
but you can be sure they had him
labeled as a "far right wing religious extremist".
And now he starts to build this floating stadium to house
the broncos, the cardinals, the bulls and the eagles
and adds the flash flood warning to his sermons.
I'm sure this went over really big and as a result brought forth the best scoffers of the day!
The point is that Noah and his family
stood alone in the land
against tremendous pressure and
ridicule
and yet were willing to take a
stand against the "fiery darts",
against this same locust army that
we will face in this generation,
the final generation, the generation
of the fig tree, yes, the "Baby Boomer" generation.
Twice for emphasis, once in Gen. 6:22 and again in Gen
7:5, our Father had Moses record,
"And Noah did all that the Lord
commanded him".
What an example he was for us.
What a tremendous servant of God!
I can't wait to meet him someday!
Next we'll go to chapter seven of Genesis, which flows rather smoothly.
Genesis 7:1
And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
The invitation is still open today for the ark of the end time.
[2] Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
For those who may not yet know, a "clean" animal isn't
one that has had a bath,
but rather is one that our Father created that could
be eaten as food.
"Unclean" animals are not to be eaten and are like putting kerosene in you car's gas tank.
Read Leviticus chapter 11 for details and a list.
Nothing has changed today in
this regard.
(That ought to get me some e-mail.)
[3] Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
[4] For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
The number seven denotes "spiritual perfection",
All these folks in Noah's day were put on probation.
Did you know that 1 out every 5 verses in the Bible contains at least one number?
Did you know that numbers in scripture have spiritual significance?
They help us to partake of that "hidden manna", giving us a deeper level of understanding.
For instance: each time the number 40 is used throughout the Bible it denotes probation or testing.
It rained 40 days and 40 nights at the time of the flood.
Israel wandered in the wilderness 40 years.
Moses was on the mountain 40 days.
Christ was tempted of Satan 40 days in the wilderness, etc.
Here are a few other numbers and their meanings:
5 = Grace
6 = Man
7 = Spiritual Perfection
8 = New Beginnings
10 = Law or Ordinal Perfection as in the 10 commandments
12 = Governmental Perfection as in 12 tribes, 12 apostles, etc.
Additionally, there are several
good resources available on Biblical numerics.
He probably had sign hanging in his workshop that said "Just Do It".
[6] And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Pharaoh pursued Israel with 600 chariots, etc., etc.
[7] And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
[8] Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
[9] There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
[10] And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
[11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
It was Noah's 600th year and Methuselah died at age 969 in the first month of this flood year.
Here in verse 11 we see the earth opening up and bringing forth the flood.
In Rev. 12:16 we see the earth opening up and swallowing the flood (the lies of Satan).
[12] And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.[13] In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
[14] They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
One thing is for sure, all the races, including the sons of Cain (kenites) survived the Flood of Noah, whether they were aboard the ark or in other countries unaffected by the deluge.
[16] And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Never can it be said that it was man who shut the door on them and wouldn't let them aboard the ark.
They will be without excuse at judgment.
[17] And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.[19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
[20] Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
[21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
[22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
And so the bloodline of Adam has been purged, purified by judgment.
The adamic race through which the
Messiah would come,
now begins anew with it's eight
remaining souls aboard the ark.
The number eight means "new beginnings".
How appropriate.
[24] And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
The "flood" of lies soon to engulf those adrift in the sea of peoples in this generation, will also prevail 5 months.
We know that from Revelation chapter 9, for it is also called the locust army.
And do you want to know something even more specific?
The time of the swarming stage of locusts is from May to September!
Look it up in the encyclopedia.
It's 5 months!
The Word of God is the most amazing and exciting book you'll ever read!
After all, it is authored by the Creator of the Universe,
our Father,
who is amazing and exciting indeed!
For it is written that the feeble mind of flesh man cannot
even begin to comprehend the things
He has in store for those who love Him.
If you're not already on His ark, it's now time to get aboard.
It's by no means boring!
It's an exciting ride!
