Genesis Chapters 5-6
I really like when we start to get into the heart of Genesis.
Now the genealogy confirms that Adam and his wife were called by one name. This created marriage is what the basis of soul-mate marriage is all about. In the world it is perverted because they say you can have more than one soul mate--how is that possible? Adam only had eve.
Anyway, if you notice the record also states that Seth was after Adams likeness, and if you look into the other genealogies Cain and Abel are not listed. Why? Historically it is believed that they were both the seed of fallen angels. We do know that is true because G-d has sense enough not to omit them for any other reason. They were not from G-d as Eve believed. Thats also why she said she had gotten them from G-d because they were not from Adam. They were separated for over a hundred years. When it says that he knew her again, it lets us know that they had abstained during that peiod of time. Trust had been broken. It took that time foir them to restore fellowship. After all Adam had only G-d before Eve came. Scripture also says that Cain was from the Evil one(1 John 3:12).
Now Enoch had Methuselahleh-v 21 who was the time clock to when the flood would occur. This child changed the relationship that he had with G-d-v22. I find that to be exceedingly powerful.
Walking with G-d is a whole other category of relationship with the father.
When the fallen angels began to take wives to pollute the earth with corrupted seed, wickedness reigned to an even greater degree because it increased the wickedness already in the flesh caused by the sin of Adam.
V7 Imagine G-d being so upset that he decided that it would have been better that he had not even created man.
Its amazing to me what we are capable of with the anointing of G-d upon us. Noah was a farmer, not an architect yet he was able to build an ark to the exact specifications that G-d gave him.
Taking two of every animal and creeping was powerful because that also meant that the ark would have had to have enough space for reproduction. Animals have babies quicker than people so the space on the ark would have had to compensate for that.
The other thing is that there were no boats at this time so you have to know that people made fun of him for building such at thing telling them that he was going to use it for rain which had also occurredured yet. There was only a mist coming up from the earth at that time.
The things that G-d often asks us to do cause shame and humiliation because it empties us of ourselves but obedience is far more rewarding than that minor shame we feel. We have to learn to respond to him at all times like children so that we never fail to reap the greater benefit of his blessings. If Nhadd've questioned G-d or not followed the instructions due to unbelief he too would have perished. This is why he found favor with G-d. He was silly enough to question whether G-d was really able to do as he said. He learned to be dependent on him.
This required unshakable faith in father. It also required a great relationship with him. You would have had to know that it was truly the father speaking to you to even enter into the work that was great an unheard of during such a time. The ark is symbolic of the life that G-d desires that we build through him, believing in him to cause the increase of the work of our hands through obedience to his voice that causes us to survive whatever obstacles we face, all the time knowing that he is able to keep us in his care and protection. We have to know that no matter what he will always make a way of escaNot NOt only for us but for our family as well.
