Noah & The Ark
Noah & The Ark Noah & The Ark Story “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” Genesis 6:5-8 NIV Noah was born during a time when things were rebellious and self-indulging, and no one was looking to worship The Most High Yahweh. We were created and designed to worship our God and serve him with all our hearts. So when The Most High looked at the earth and saw all of the wickedness and destruction that was going around, the Lord knew that he had to do something. He decided that he needed to wipe the earth clean and send a flood to cleanse the earth. But Noah found favor in the Lords eyes. Noah was a devoute follower and believed in Yahweh and his teachings, and also trusted in the Lord. So when The Heavenly Father commanded Noah to build an ark and explained that there would be a flood to wipe the earth, and he was only going to save him and his family. Noah took what was told to him to heart and obeyed, and began to build what would be his family’s means of escaping the coming disaster. So I guess you are wondering why is it that the heavenly father would go through the trouble of sending a flood to wipe out the earth? Well, I’ll tell you.The heavenly Father sent a flood to wipe out the earth because of how vile the earth was. When the heavenly Father looked and he saw that the earth was full of evil, wickedness, and darkness, he knew that he needed to wipe the earth. There was so much killing and murderous intent that people were not looking to the Heavenly Father for his righteous ways anymore. So a few different scenarios happened. One, was that they fell far from the Heavenly Father on their own and they got away from following the Lord and seeking Him and seeking His guidance. In the beginning, whenever Adam and Eve got cast out, they used to give sacrifices unto the Lord and they would be kept away from their earthly desires and would stay with the Lord. Their only desire was to be with the heavenly Father and that’s all they wished to have. So they didn’t distribute the earth. Adam and Eve decided to leave that to the next generation. Well, the next generation definitely distributed the earth. The next generation went out into the earth and created a name, home and since of belonging. They began to look towards themselves, and their own accomplishments in the things that they made with their own hands and not looking towards the Heavenly Father. So then you also had another issue where angels actually came down to earth. Angels began to look and see the daughters of men, and they saw how beautiful they were, and wanted wives for themselves. So about 200 of them came down on Mount Sinai and they began made a covenant with each other.They made a covenant with each other that they were going to go through with what they desired and that they were going to get wives. They did make the covenant with each other and they went out and they got the wives and they married, and they then had giants. Angels and humans were never supposed to mix so the children from them came out as giants! “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.” Genesis 6:4-6 NIV So giants began to be out into the world and this caused a problem for for the Lord because giants were never supposed to be in the world. They could not be sustained by humans in their desires and what they had to offer them. Giants were considered men because they came for women, and so they could not go to heaven. They had no place to go after they died, so when they died they were going to be stuck in the earth. These were giants that began to get really big. I think that maybe a human being came up to their knees. Even the giants that David fought in David and Goliath, they were considered small giants. These giants were huge compared to the small giants. The giants began to devour the earth and they could not be sustained by the humans. I think that since they weren’t sustained by the animals because there wasn’t enough animals and food, they also began to eat humans. So the place was full of bloodshed and that’s what the Lord meant by the world was just wicked, and it was vile. And so Noah had found grace in The Heavenly Fathers eyes. There’s so much more that happened during Noah’s time than just the giants, bloodshed and the murderous intent. People were also self indulging and creating false god’s, and they were just partying all the time. Nobody was interested in the righteousness of the one true Elohim. It made them
