Hi, Everyone, and thank you for joining me @ 144Judah! As you have gathered from Enoch, Noah was special. "Highly Favored"... But you don't know all there is to know about Noah, do you? From the KJV Genesis we learn that Noah is the son of Lamech, who was the son of Methuselah who was the son of Enoch. So, Enoch is Noah's great great grandfather. He is also the one that tells him of the upcoming "deluge". But we don't learn that part from the Holy Bible. We learn that from The Book of Enoch. We really don't learn much about Noah from The Bible itself.
Genesis 5:28-29 "And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed."
Remember the section of the "begats" that we talked about under the Children of Adam and Eve? Well... this is the part that we talked about with the name "Noah" meaning rest. They named their son Noah because they thought the work and toil of their hands would be fulfilled because of the curse of Adam and Eve... His father, Lamech, wanted to separate the responsibility of work from value. The curse was supposed to lift but it wouldn't be as hard... Imagine naming your son that so you didn't have to work anymore? And then, come to find out, well Lamech didn't, but Noah sure did... He found out that he would be the one to start the new world all over from the beginning.
"And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth." Genesis 5:32(The interesting part about this is they don't mention the name of Noah's wife. But, if you go back to Genesis 4:22, you will see the name of Tubal-cain's sister: Naamah.) "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 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." Genesis 6:1-3
(Is this how long it took to build the Ark before the waters came?)
So, we know from Enoch that things got nuts. And God is setting us up with the story above... the men took wives, and then he tells us what we read about in Enoch...
"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." Genesis 6:4
Now... This reads a whole lot different after reading Enoch, right? sons of God? So, the Watchers... because sons of men would be human. The Hebrew translation has two different meanings. Rabbi Lapin talks about the God part being Lord in his translation and that it meant well-to-do meant defined as Lords and Ladies.
So, going on "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. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 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. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Genesis 6:5-8
Remember who else walked with God? Yes, the one and only, Enoch.
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:9
Now this is where our story differs. In Enoch, God talks to Enoch, and tells him to go to Noah. Here, God directly goes to Noah. In Enoch, it is said that the angels built an ark for Noah, and here God tells Noah the dimensions to build the Ark. In Hebrew the dimensions of the Ark, according to Rabbi Daniel Lapin, wouldn't hold up as it wasn't about an actual vessel. It was a symbol of God's mercy.
So, what is the truth?
Genesis 7:1-6
"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. 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. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 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. And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth."
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. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeeth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 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;" Genesis 7:7-13
Genesis 7:16 "And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in."
Whoa... The Lord shut him in.
Can you imagine being on the ark? Can you imagine seeing all the rain and the waters everywhere and seeing people out there and knowing what you knew and not bringing people with you? Can you imagine the sounds on the outside of the ark? Can you imagine what it took in Noah not to let anyone else in?
Now, on the flip side, can you imagine seeing Noah building an ark for over a hundred years and thinking he is crazy but then the rains came? This reminds me of what is happening today. There is evil all around us today, but there are people out there that just don't see it.
"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: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 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." Genesis 7:21-23
"And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth." Genesis 8:6-11
Can you imagine being out there during all that raining and what it smelled like in that ark?
After a few months, on the 27th day of the month, the earth finally dried, and God spoke to Noah. "Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."
"And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have stablished between me and all flesh that is upon the earth." Genesis 9: 8-17
Wait a minute, are you saying that God has the rights to the Gay Pride Flag? Who knew?
Yes, this Rainbow is the symbol for the covenant that God established with US! A promise... This is why a lot of Christians lose it over the flag. And, to be fair, homosexuality is something that God is not for. We will be talking about that later. Remember, though, dear Christians, that God is also not for sinning of any kind. And, we are not to cast any stones. We are to love EVERYONE. Love the sinner, hate the sin.
So, how does this all correlate with the end of time? Well... Matthew "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such and hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Yeshua- Matthew 24: 37-44
Don't you love how God does everything full circle?
Remember to Love God with all your heart, mind, body and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself! And...remember to check out 144Judah tomorrow for Part 6 in the Genesis series! God Bless You and Keep You Always!

Signs of the End that have already happened:
Revelation 16:12, “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.” This passage of Scripture refers to the event of the sixth bowl judgment, which will occur during the tribulation.
Apostacy?
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" 2 Thess. 2:3
How good is evil and evil is good...
Good as Evil
Evil is good
