The world’s coming to an end!
We’re all gonna die!
Noah’s Guide to Survive the Apocalypse.
9
This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in
his generations. Noah walked with God.
In the original text, Genesis 6:9, is the start of a
new scroll. We know this by the phrase, “This is the genealogy of” (elleh
toledoth, in original Hebrew).
Just Noah.
Noah was a just man.
Noah was just a man.
Justified by faith, just like we all must be. Romans 5:1.
Your Bible may read, Noah was a righteous man.
However, our Bibles also say, there are none righteous, (Romans 3:10); for all
have sinned (Romans 3:23).
Noah was just, Noah was righteous, only by the
justification and righteousness that comes by and through the only One who is Truly,
Just and Righteous.
2
Corinthians 5:21. For He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for
us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Perfect in his generations.
Blameless,
is another translation for the word, perfect. It’s the same word used to
describe the requirements of the Passover lamb. Its flesh must be without spot or
blemish.
Genetically speaking
Noah’s flesh was pure, without spot or blemish, in relation to the corruption
of his generations. He was not corrupted by the fallen ones. He did not succumb
to the sexual seduction of that day. He refused Epstein Island.
Invisible war.
In the Garden, the serpent had already corrupted the
spiritual DNA of mankind. Now if only he could corrupt the physical DNA, the
Seed would have no point of entry through the pure womb of a woman. The
prophecy of Genesis 3:15 says He’d come through the Seed of a woman, not a
demon possessed Nephilim.
10
And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The first episode of, My Three Sons.
When God’s about to do something great He finds a
family, picks a person, begins with a birth.
He is Life, loves life, gives life.
The enemy steals, kills, destroys.
The Israelites, and Christ came from the line of Shem.
You’ve heard of the word antisemite; it comes from Shem. Shemite; semite;
antisemite.
Every lineage today traces back to one of these three
brothers.
Japheth was the oldest (Genesis 10:21), and Ham was
the youngest (Genesis 9:24).
After the flood the boys migrated to different parts
of the globe. It’s a bit oversimplified, but their migrations, generally looked
like this:
- Japheth
headed north (Ukraine, Russia, Europe).
- Shem,
the middle son, settled in the middle east, Israel.
- Ham went south (Africa, Egypt). However, for a time some of Ham’s descendants were in the land in Canaan. They are the ones Joshua expelled upon entering the Promise Land.
11
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13
And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me,
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.
God tells Noah, the crime and the punishment.
Matthew 24:37-39.
As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
2 Timothy 3:1.
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come
2 Timothy 4:3.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
As it was in the days of Noah, so it is…
CURRENT EVENTS
Watertown, Wisconsin Teen Marcus Schroeder arrested
while reading:
Galatians 5:14-15. For all the law is
fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest
you be consumed by one another!
He was reading on a public sidewalk with a microphone. Allegedly, due to a sound ordinance violation, and apparently, according to the viral video, without warning
officers, grabbed the mic, turned off the speaker and handcuffed the young man.
We’re told that at the same time, adjacent to them, in
plain sight, grown men were sexually abusing children, by dancing, gyrating,
twerking on them.
(Webster definition. Twerking: sexually suggestive
dancing characterized by rapid, repeated hip thrusts and shaking of the
buttocks especially while squatting … twerking has become a catch-all for an
overtly sexualized style of dancing wherein one manipulates the hips and
posterior in an often hypnotic and physics-defying bounce.).
Marcus spoke at city council:
“I understand the other side. I’ve talked with them
for hours. But drag queens in lingerie twerking on kids, is unacceptable, and
that's something that we have to notice as a culture. We can have our
disagreements, but there comes a time when we have to understand that we are
all going to stand before God one day, and we're going to have to give an
account for what we have done with the children in our society. The innocent
minds and the children deserve to be protected."
As we become more and more tolerant of sexual
immorality in our culture, we become more and more intolerant of Christian
morality. And the more we become intolerant toward Christian morality, the
more we’re going to see lawlessness in our streets.
The more we become intolerant toward Christian
morality, the more we’re going to see Nazis, the more we’re going to see people
who don’t hold to a Christian worldview, who think that everybody is a result
of animals, and therefore if we are a result of animals, then why can’t we just
act like animals?
Marcus and friends have been labeled by politicians
and left-wing media-ites as a hate group and Nazis.
The acceptance of sexual perversion is what led to the
flood in our text, it’s what led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; it
is what’s leading the world to the Great Tribulation.
America should be standing in the way, but instead, is
leading the charge. The US is top destination for child sex trafficking.
America the beautiful, must be looking pretty ugly, in the eyes of God right now.
Twerks being protected while Christians are arrested,
fuels the flames of this perverted lust that causes two million innocent
children a year to be drug into a living hell—raped and sodomized twenty times
a day.
The lawlessness promoted and applauded in 2020 hasn’t
disappeared. The organized burning, shooting, looting, killing, stealing,
destroying, continues around the globe. It gathers strength and fury, preparing
to return to US soil; for perhaps America’s final bout, before collapsing in
upon herself, because of her own perverse corruption.
Trouble’s coming.
As it was in the days of Noah, so it is…
Doug, you’re freaking me out! What should we do?
Genesis
6:14. Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark,
and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
God not only states the crime and the punishment, but also
the solution. He tells Noah, exactly what to do.
He does the same, for me and you.
Noah listened.
Trouble’s coming. Build a boat, with rooms.
Verse fourteen reminds me of John
fourteen, where Jesus told His disciples; trouble’s coming, but don’t be
troubled, in My Father’s house are many rooms; I’ll prepare one just for
you. John 14:1-3.
Cover it with pitch inside and out.
Reportedly, pitch was made by mixing fine ash from
slowly burned trees into boiling tree sap. The pitch would harden, and
preserve, and waterproof, like a fiberglass resin.
The word for pitch (kaphar)means, to
cover, covering, ransom, the price
of a life, atonement (Lev. 17:11).
The Blood that flowed from the tree,
covered, protected, preserved, atoned, for the impending flood of judgement.
Make for yourself… Being covered with the atoning, Blood
of Christ, must be done yourself. No one can do that for you.
How Big Was the Boat?
15
And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred
cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You
shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above;
and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second,
and third decks.
The dimensions were perfect, still used similarly in
ships today. About the size of the Titanic. One that large wasn’t built until
the mid1800s.
A cubit is the length from elbow to tip of middle finger; about
18”. Which was the size of the window around the top perimeter.
The ark, (really a big barge), was:
450’long (1.5 football fields).
75’ wide (about the length of our clubhouse at
Whispering Pines Village; or, eight parking spaces).
45’ high (four story building).
What happened to the ark? Has it been found?
EVIDENCE OF NOAH’S ARK:
(David Guzik; https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/genesis-6/).
1) In
275 B.C., Berosus, a Babylonian historian, wrote: “But of this ship that
grounded in Armenia some part still remains in the mountains, and some get
pitch from the ship by scraping it off.”
2) Around
75 A.D., historian, Josephus said the locals collected relics from the ark and
showed them off to this very day.
3) In
A.D. 180, Theophilus of Antioch wrote: “the remains [of the ark] are to this
day to be seen… in the mountains.”
4) An
elderly Armenian man in America said that as a boy, he visited the ark with his
father and three atheistic scientists in 1856. Their goal was to disprove the
ark’s existence, but they found it and became so enraged they tried to destroy
it, but could not because it was too big and had petrified. In 1918 one of the
atheistic scientists (an Englishman) admitted on his deathbed the whole story
was true.
5) In
1876 a distinguished British statesman and author, Viscount James Bryce,
climbed Ararat and reported finding a four-foot-long piece of hand-tooled
timber at an altitude of more than 13,000 feet (4,300 meters).
6) Six
Turkish soldiers claimed to see the ark in 1916.
7) In
the early part of 20th century, a Russian aviator named Vladimire Rokovitsky
claimed the discovery of Noah’s ark. He was stationed in southern Russia near
the Turkish border and Mount Ararat. As he tested a plane he and his co-pilot
flew over Ararat and discovered on the edge of a glacier what he described as a
boat the size of a battleship. He said it was partially submerged in a lake,
and he could see there was an opening for a door nearly 20 feet (7 meters)
square, but the door was missing. Rokovitsky told his commanding officer and an
expedition was dispatched to find the ark and photograph it. The report was
forwarded to the Czar, who was soon overthrown and the photos and the report perished.
8) In
1936 a young British archaeologist named Hardwicke Knight hiked across Ararat
and discovered interlocking hand-tooled timbers at a height of 14,000 feet
(4,600 meters).
9) During
World War II two pilots saw and photographed something they believed was the
ark on Mount Ararat.
There’s more, however searches are hindered by
political controversy.
How big was the flood?
17
And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from
under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on
the earth shall die.
EVIDENCE OF WORLDWIDE FLOOD:
Articles in antiquity on every continent record a global
flood. Similar if not identical to the Biblical record.
Archeological discoveries confirm a worldwide flood:
- Sea creatures in Grand Canyon wall (one mile above sea level).
- Shellfish in Himalayas
- Whales in Michigan
- Sharks in Ohio
- Fish in Mountains of Wyoming (7,000’ above sea level)
All Aboard!
18
But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall
go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your
sons’ wives with you.
This is the first time the word covenant is
used in the Bible. We’ll see exactly what this means after they get off the
ark.
God is a covenant making, promise keeping God.
Notice how personal this is. Notice how many times God
says, “You, your”,
God has a Divine Eternal Purpose specifically designed
for you. He has a particular family He wants to reach through you.
It doesn’t matter if the whole world has gone woke, or dark, or corrupt. We are
to occupy, until He comes. He has cut a covenant with you, has specific
instructions for you, He has an ark for you to build, so you
and those He’s given you can escape the trouble that’s coming.
He sees the silver lining. The covenant, the promise,
the rainbow, on the other side.
God is specific, precise, intentional.
What if Noah, hadn’t taken God seriously, but
allegorically? Hypothetically?
How did all those pets fit in
there?
19
And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into
the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20
Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and
of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every
kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take
for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself;
and it shall be food for you and for them.”
Build a boat. A big one. For you, your family…and lots
of pets.
Noah didn’t need to go on a worldwide roundup; two of
every kind came to him.
Okay, they came. But how on earth did he fit them all
in the boat?
Notice, it wasn’t two of every breed of animal; it was
two of every kind. That narrowed it down, A LOT.
For example, the dog kind, may have included every
breed of dog, fox, wolf, etc.
They say there were 16-25,000 “kinds” of land animals.
So, 25,000 x 2 (one male, one female) = 50,000. (Plus, seven pair of clean animals; Genesis 7:2-3).
The average size of an animal, is about the
size of a sheep.
The ark could hold 125,000 (some say over 136,000) animals that
size.
So, there was plenty of room for all kinds of animals, with room to spare for food and supplies.
Noah, the Patriarch of Preppers, secret
guide to survive the apocalypse.
22
Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
The first and last verse of our text unveils Noah’s
secret weapon.
Genesis 6:9 reveals, Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:22 tells us, Noah did all God commanded.
Hebrews
11:6-7
But
without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who
comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of
those who diligently seek Him.
7 By
faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly
fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he
condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is
according to faith.
Let’s pray.
Lord, will You help us to not just hear, but listen.
To not just go through the motions of religion, but to
walk in the light of Your revelation.
To, like Noah, walk with You, and obey, right away,
every step of the way.
We love You, forever.
Amen.
