Noah's
the Flood was not universal!
Giants,
hybrids produced by the union of the sons of God (angels), with Adam's
daughters, roamed that region.
Our
Father would now have to put a stop to this perversion of His plan.
God's plan was to have " 'eth-ha adham" and it means this one man in particular and his help meet Eve, produce
descendants, who remained of pure pedigree though to the birth of Mary,
who would become the flesh and blood mother of His own, only begotten Son, conceived miraculously through His Holy Spirit, and then while still a virgin give birth to His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, God with us, to provide a way for all of mankind to salvage their, sinful souls;
but Satan, in order to disrupt God's plan had fallen angels, who were
loyal to him, come to earth, out of turn, without being conceived by a
pure blood descendant of Adam and Eve, having children to -granddaughters of Adam and Eve, therefore disrupting the pure " 'eth-ha adham" and Eve blood line.
So when the pure pedigree blood line, in that part of the earth, the middle east, had been corrupted to the point when there were only Noah and his seven family members of pure pedigree left, God needed to rid the earth of all those corrupted beings. He caused Noah's flood to do that!
Genesis
6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The
three sons of Noah, whenever they are listed together,
are
named in inverted order with Shem, the youngest, named first.
As
is other cases, the youngest was chosen for the blessing,
and
so it would be through Shem that Christ would come. Japheth was the eldest.
[11]
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
The word "violence" means "wrong or unrighteous".
They
weren't killing each other, they were drinking and marrying and giving
in marriage, with fallen angels.
Jesus
Christ said so in Mat. 24:38.
The land was filled with unrighteousness, i.e. perversion.
[12]
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh
had corrupted his way upon the earth.
The natural way of bringing forth the children of
God through "flesh man" and "flesh woman" was now corrupted.
[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.
Our Father now "foretells His
servants", as He always does,
what is going to happen next.
He is now going to eradicate the mess in this land, and
every living thing in it.
The phrase, "I will destroy them 'with' the earth",
should read, "from" the earth.
So God tells Noah to go build a
big boat
and He gives him the blue prints
complete with measurements and a materials list.
This was necessary because there were no Home Depots in
those days.
[14]
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and
shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
"Pitch it" means to "coat it" and comes from the
Hebrew word
kapher,
which means to cover.
It
is the only word for "atonement" in the Old Testament and lets us know
that only "atonement" can protect us from the waters of judgment.
"With pitch" is the Hebrew kopher, meaning "resin"
and not "bitumen", which is zepheth.
[15]
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the
ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and
the height of it thirty cubits.
A cubit is a measure of distance from the elbow to
the tip of the fingers, i.e. forearm,
and is approximately 17.5 inches in length.
However, the sacred cubit was closer to 25 inches.
[16]
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it
above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with
lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
It
is remarkable that there were three levels built into the ark,
just
as there are three levels of understanding built into God's Word.
The
Bible is written to all, but one must have eyes to see and ears to hear
in order to understand that which is written on the third level, for it
is not given to everyone to "see" (Mat. 13:10-11).
You would have to be on the third level in the ark to
be able to "see" out over the waters.
[17] And,
behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy
all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every
thing that is in the earth shall die.
If
you look up any word in a Strong's concordance, you really need to look
up the word eretz, which
the translators usually render "land" throughout the Bible, except in chapters
1-11 in Genesis where they use "earth".
This
makes an awkward saying in Gen 4:14 where Cain was driven from the "earth"
to the "earth", when actually he was driven from the "land" where he
was to the "land" of Nod.
And here again we see the figure of speech Synedoche
in the term "all flesh", put here to mean every kind of being.
A Synedoche
is where the whole is put for the part.
Another example of a Synedoche would be Luke 2:1:
Luke
2:1
And it came
to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should be taxed.
"All the world" didn't include Australia and North
America,
but a "part of the whole", i.e. the Roman Empire.
And so "all flesh" won't die.
At the least, Noah and his family and all aboard the ark
would be spared.
Gen.
6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into
the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Have you come into His "ark"
in these last days? There is another flood coming soon whereby you will
need to be "pitched" with the gospel armor, i.e. "sealed" with the Word
of God, in order to stay afloat. That flood is the flood of Satan's lies
spewing forth from his mouth and the mouths of his angels (whom we've been
reading of), when they are cast to this earth in Rev. 12:7-9.
Rev.
12:9
And the great
dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him.
It
will be as it was in the days of Noah! Hello!
Those
sons of God, Satan's angels, will be here soon,
with
Satan who will be playing the role of Christ.
Rev.
12:15
And the serpent
cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman (the bride of Christ, the Christian church), that he might cause
her to be carried away of the flood.
Don't be swallowed up by this flood.
Our Father's ark is loading now.
Don't wait 'till the door is shut.
[19]
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring
into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Notice
carefully that this verse does NOT say bring two of all the "animals".
It
says to bring two of all "flesh".
Have
you never wondered how the different races were preserved through the flood?
Just
a few verses ago God stated that man was also flesh.
Don't forget him!
Genesis
6:3
And the LORD
said, My spirit shall not always strive with
man, for that he also is flesh: ...
If you believe that the flood was universal, i.e.
encompassed all the earth, then the races could have
been preserved
aboard the ark and brought in along with "all flesh".
Gen.
6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every
creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come
unto thee, to keep them alive.
Do
you remember back in chapter two of Genesis that there was another
set of animals created after "the Adam" was formed?
They
were the domestic animals, including the farm animals that would be necessary
to help the "man who would till the ground", Adam.
It
is Adam's land, his region of the world, his eretz or country,
that
the fallen angels have come to intermarry with his daughters.
Remember, This all happened in this 2nd earth age, not the 1st earth age (the age of the dinosaurs), so Noah's ark only had to be big enough to salvage Adam's farm animals (beasts of the field, formed as described in Genesis 2:19), not all the wild animals, (beasts of the earth, as described in Genesis 1:24). And also remember, it was only " 'eth-ha adham" this one man in particular and his help meet Eve's, pedigree that Satan wanted to corrupt, not all of mankind's, therefore the races, living outside this area did not need to be destroyed!
That is why I believe Noah's flood, was not universal, but only flooded the area where
" 'eth-ha adham" this one man in particular and his help meet Eve's, ancestors of pure pedigree lived.
It is this area where the domestic animals would have
been.
It would therefore be logical that it was only the domestic
animals that Noah took aboard the ark.
The farm animals would have become
extinct had Noah not preserved them,
for they were in that area, created
on the eighth day, after Adam, to help him till the ground.
[21]
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather
it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
[22] Thus did
Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
If
all God's children listened to their Father as did Noah,
we
wouldn't need this flesh earth age, would we?
So,
was the Flood of Noah universal, i.e. worldwide?
I realize many are shocked
at the suggestion that it wasn't worldwide,
but as you can see it
wouldn't have been necessary in order to destroy the giants
and the perversion they
had caused in the region where the Adamites were located.
Go
back and re-read the entire account translating "earth", i.e. eretz,
as land or country.
Then,
if you still subscribe to the universality of the Flood, you have more
explaining to do.
You
must reconcile the Flood with the histories of China and Egypt
and
explain how it is that Egyptian chronology shows an uninterrupted succession
of Dynasties from at least 3001 B.C.
Then
too, there is not enough moisture and water available to cover all the
mountains by fifteen cubits (Gen. 7:20)
given
that some of the mountains are 6 miles high.
That
means that Egypt and all the land would have been covered with six miles
of water.
There is so much more, but I'm sure you get the point.
One
last FACT. If you turn to 1 Chronicles 2:55 you will read that the sons
of Cain (Kenites) affixed themselves to the 12 tribes of Israel, whose
genealogies are listed beginning in verse 1.
1 Chron.
2:55
And the families
of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites,
and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the
father of the house of Rechab.
If you are not familiar with
the word "kenite" then look it up in Strong's concordance
or the World Book Encyclopedia
Dictionary.
It means progeny, or offspring of Cain.
Do
you understand what this means?
The
descendants of Cain are alive and well many, many years following the Flood
of Noah.
They were present when Christ
walked the earth (John 8:44) and they are present this very day.
That
means they survived the Great Deluge, as did all the other races.
And so it is for this and many other
reasons, especially the understanding of what caused the Flood,
that this teacher does not believe
that the Great Deluge covered Babylon and the land of Nod, nor Egypt, but
only that portion of perhaps Central Asia, around the Tarim Basin, where
some scholars place the garden of Eden and the origin of the Adamic race
(Read "Tracing Our Ancestors" by Frederick Haberman for more details).
In
any
event, however universal you may believe the flood to be, it is imperative
that you understand what transpired PRIOR to that Flood, because as it
was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.
We
live in the most exciting time period in the history of mankind, for it
is this generation, the generation of the fig tree, that will see the events
foretold by Christ in Matthew 24 and Mark 13.
And
guess what?
We
will face the supernatural, i.e. Satan and his angels, as did Adam and
Eve and their offspring before the Flood.
Are
you "covered"?
